Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[humprof]

A couple by Buddy Rich: A Different Drummer (1972/1971), in a conversion from Japanese CD-4, and The Roar of '74, in a conversion from quad reel. Big, brash, and noisy--like Buddy himself, I guess. (Not necessarily a bad thing, though it can get a little exhausting.) Both super-discrete mixes. Some "with-it" pop turns ("Domino," JCS) on DD, while on '74 they try to get funky with help from the ubiquitous-and-versatile Tony Levin in the bass chair.

The old CR-80D-SS - NICE!

So are you in for the Japan 7" SACD Quad?

Yes. Have the other two. Got them from Amazon. Probably this one too.

I freakin love Buddy! He made me laugh when I was a child! I’ll bet you’d like this dvd. Gives me chills. And it’s quad.

Return to Forever, MusicMagic (1977), Dutton Vocalion 2017 SACD reissue. Not my favorite period of RTF, but how else you gonna hear them in quad, let alone such an amazing mix?

Minnie Riperton, Adventures in Paradise (1975), in a Tate conversion from SQ LP. Good tunes (including some sweet slow jams), good charts, good mixes.

Moving episode of the Lost Notes podcast (by the Macarthur "Genius" Hanif Abdurraqib) on Riperton, by the way:

Howard Roberts, Equinox Express Elevator (1975), in a SurroundMaster decode of a QS-encoded CD reissue. Not quite like anything else on Impulse! from the period: a little out, a little funk, a little fusion, a little folk-jazz, a little samba, a little symphonic. I like it. And the mix is more discrete than most of its Impulse siblings, too.

Fritz Reiner/Chicago Symphony RICHARD STRAUSS [RCA LIVING STEREO/3 CHANNEL SACD] TWO Complete RCA Living Stereo albums on 1 3 channel SACD in absolutely SUMPTIOUS SONICS!

Speaking of nothing quite like anything else on its label: Joris Roelofs, Rope Dance (SACD/FLAC 5.0, 2021). I don't know of any other Dutch avant-garde chamber jazz inspired by Nietzsche on the Swedish classical label BIS. I recognized bassist Clemens van der Feen, but the real attraction was the bassos I didn't know. Jazz bass clarinet! Jazz bassoon! I couldn't resist.

Dream Theater - A View From The Top Of The World
Loud, but I really like it, not much rear activity though. The picture on the front cover is actually from Norway, Kjeragbolten. It's a 959m drop into Lysefjorden.

PERCEPTIONS OF TIME {Caprice Records/multi~CH SACD} An excellent discrete SACD well worth your consideration! Luscious DEEP BASS ABOUNDS!

 

[jefe1]

Humprof do you have the twofer cd that also has Antelope Freeway ? I had read that that one was QS encoded and they did things like set out microphones outside to capture road noise.
If you have listened to it how does it decode?

Sonny Rollins, Sonny Rollins in Japan (1974/1973), in a conversion from CD4. Live date with a hometown guitarist at an interesting moment in Rollins's career. Mostly a Sonny blowing session, which is not a bad thing. Great sound.
