Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[edisonbaggins]

How are the Pearl Jam albums? Is Apple the streamer to go with for Atmos?

I like Ten and Gigaton. Only heard a few songs from No Code. They're real surround mixes. Would love blurays of them!

FWIW, I think it's on the Atmos streaming services.

Thank you. Still would love to have the disc.

Ehhhhhh - how's that one sound beefmaster?

It's a very good tight performance @GOS. Dynamic range 12 or so.
Every instrument is nice and clear.
Nice Scheiner mix.
The drumming really adds a massive punch to the tunes.
Maybe not GOS level bass though

Haven't been on this thread in a few weeks. Dozens of great surround titles, guys! A few comments & questions:

1- Headhunters - Herbie Hancock Is the Japan SACD the Quad or 5.1 mix (derived center) of this? I bought it on single-layer 5.1, Q8, SQ, 2ch LP & CD.
An ESSENTIAL Quad and/or Hancock album.

2- BTO (I) is their best album, IMHO. No big hits, but great. Have a Q8 of Four Wheel Drive and DTS CD of Not Fragile (maybe it's Italian...) Would love to rebuy them on DV SACD.

3- Santana III may be their best album and Quad mix. I've owned this on SQ (x2), Q8, CD, expanded CD, Expanded 2 CD. I found bass lacking on both SQ & Q8. A bit better on Q8, though still lacking. My most desired Japan Quad SACD.

4- Love my single Layer Tapestry. It is a wonderful mix. Music speaks for itself...

5- The only Quad I bought of Tapestry was Q8. It would rank among the worst "Quad" mixes of the 600+ analog Quads I own (not 5.1). Nothing but loud echo in the rears. They always seemed louder than the fronts to me. Ecch! One of my most listened-to albums and one of my least listened-to Quads. I swear I enjoyed my pre-recorded cassette more than Q8. 5.1 SACD is best way to listen. CBS Mastersound 1/2 speed would be the best 2ch and/or analog. Have owned this on cassette, Q8, 2ch LP, Mastersound 1/2 speed LP, CD, remastered CD, 5.1 SACD & 2 CD expanded. You NEED the 5.1.

Keep on surrounding yourseves with music.

the Sony Japan SACD of Headhunters is 4.0, no derived Centre channel and the Rears are slightly lower level than on the Sony 5.1 SACD, best of all it looks so pretty!

Okay
Ive had a few listens. Some random babble / thoughts

If you are on the fence in terms of purchase, dont hesitate - purchase it. It is very very very very good

Im not going to get into the mechanics and dynamics of the surround mix. Eddie at Life In Surround is the master at this and he will have a fun time with this one. Ill leave it up to him. It IS really good btw

Pete Trewavas. Marillion bassist. His artistry is brought forward on this release. Love it when a talented bassist is spotlighted. Thumbs up

The screen graphics are very enjoyable

Marillion is - basically - two bands. The Fish era and the Hogarth era. Both freaking awesome. This album - the Fish era - presents early 80s artistry at its best. Its an incredible album.

Buy it. Enjoy it. I did
