How I Spent My Summer Vacation


HOW RICKY {cbmmm3} spent HIS Summer Vacation

Listening to MQA DISCS ..... UNFOLDED

 

[weekendtoy]

Art Garfunkel: Breakaway (SACD 4.0)

 

[weekendtoy]

Love and Rockets : Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven (Blu Ray 5.1)
Inspired by @GOS for sale listing.
I thought there was more L&R surround discs in the works?

Hawkwind - Warrior on the Edge of Time (DVD-A)

 

[humprof]

Dakota Staton, I Want A Country Man (Groove Merchant, 1973), in a conversion from quad reel. Blues with a jazz sensibility (and a jazz big band--with Lew Soloff, Cecil Bridgewater, Pepper Adams, Bill Watrous...). Arrangements by Manny Albam. Great sound, great mix.

ONE
SINGULAR
SENSATION!

Geoffrey Stoner, Watch Out! (Ovation, 1973), in a superb conversion from quad reel. Wow! I didn't know anything about this guy, and was expecting some kind of B-list soul singer. But he's a total, top-shelf pro, and so is everyone involved with the record. (The only thing like a household name I recognized among the backing band was Chicago jazz and soul guitarist Phil Upchurch.) I can't think why Stoner didn't break out on the national scene--except maybe for his unfortunate surname--and the fact that in 1973 he had a lot of competition and mainly did covers (Incredibly well!) rather than original material. Great, sensitive, powerful singer, with a clear background in blues and gospel.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Southern Surroundings on blu ray in 5.1

 

[humprof]

It's a Stylistics Saturday: The Stylistics, Round 2, Rockin' Roll Baby, Let's Put It All Together, and Heavy. A cornucopia of conversions from CD-4. These guys sure had a lot of hits...

 

[bgf1973]

Marillion - Misplaced Childhood............IMHO the top rated Marillion Surround Mix (My Only 10)

Birds of Fire the AF disc
When the Sony Japan disc comes ill compare. If its a sonic upgrade I be happy.
I guess in the meantime I can run fast between the speakers and follow Cobhams drums...

At a distance? (As for Bell's: I haven't been to Mars, but I never get tired of the Big Two-Hearted...)

 

[jefe1]

And now after Birds
Billy Cobham Spectrum
Thank you AF for this unreleased quad (except for the track on the Experience sampler album)
Who did the Quad remix?

 

[Cibola]

sara k. HELL OR HIGH water, SACD PCM 5.1, currently fish outta water, love it.

 

[humprof]

Super Furry Animals, Rings Around the World (DTS DVD 5.1). Hat tip to @steelydave for chatting up this band. Welsh latter-day psychedelia. Caravan meets TMBG (and XTC, and Blur, and Flaming Lips, and--I donno...somebody who's known the band longer than I should chime in. But they're actually very much their own thing.) Mind-blowing stuff: very playful, sometimes extravagant approach to surround, complemented by entertaining visuals and menus. And these guys know how to use an LFE channel! Would love to see this re-released in non-lossy audio on a BDA. Maybe even remixed for Atmos? (I guess that ship has sailed, though: the 20th-Anniversary edition was 3 CDs only.)

Anyway, I've got Phantom Power and Love Kraft queued up after this.
