Great contrast between the orchestra and the band's appearance somehow, see for yourself. Can't really explain what I mean after .... beers :friday:

Fleetwood Mac - Tusk - DTS 5.1 - Baggy's gain and dynamics "demaster"
Sounds pretty nice!

 

[Spock]

Tusk is fantastic!

Just saw Everest on blu ray - very dynamic soundtrack, the buttkickers almost killed my couch, and Atmos - so a lot of things happening everywhere

Back to music - a consert dvd - Gessle Over Europe, the guy in Roxette. Typical consert sound, not much surround, but great songs.

What a pleasant surprise to hear someone appreciate the 5.1 TUSK. I think it's wonderful as well......

Tusk is fantastic!

Yes! Less accessible than Rumours, but that sometimes translates to staying fresh longer.
I think there are some great songs here. Some goofy ones too.
It's great in 5.1!

Joy - Isaac Hayes

(Chef does Quad ****.. )

 

[fredblue]

Dave Mason - Splitting The Hairs On His Coconuts (pSeudo Quad LP)

 

[dr. simple]

Listened to The McCartney Years today. It really makes me wish that the deluxe edition of "Flowers in the Dirt" slated for this year will have a surround mix, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Right now: Ziggy Stardust.

And do you have this one: http://www.hraudio.net/showmusic.php?title=10841

Exquisite! Michael Lewin's follow up to this one which we both know and love http://www.hraudio.net/showmusic.php?title=9509

Also, another beauty from Janet Feder https://janetfeder.bandcamp.com/album/thisclose Be sure to play the sample "Crows." Recorded DSD in superb discrete 5.1 on the Sonoma with surround mastering/authoring by Gus Skinas.

I haven't come across Lewin's latest Debussy recording in the stores yet. Looking forward to it as well as Janet Feder's.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Southern Surrounding, Blu Ray. Love this disc!

Do you think Scorpions had "Simple Man" in mind when they wrote "Always Somewhere"?

DUDE! You nailed it! I said that a few years ago, in a galaxy far, far away...on another forum. There is no doubt that Simple Man played a part in Always Somewhere....

I sure isn't a problem - they are both beautiful songs I remember buying Lovedrive around 1980, mostly for that song (what a great album cover ).

Now you are really killing me.... Scorps are one of my all-time top 5 favorite bands. I remember hearing Always Somewhere live for the first time....whoa. Goosebumps galore.

Yes, they are great. Played them a lot in the 80's, think Blackout is my favourite album, with No One Like You being favourite track. Don't play them as much these days, but sometimes I have to put on my Blackout t-shirt (i hangs between a big number of Star Trek t-shirts ) and listen to some Scorpions. I think they should release all of their albums in glorious 5.1 on dvd-a!

Edit: Gonna find my Blackout cd and give it the Specweb treatment.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Southern Surrounding, Blu Ray. Love this disc!

I enjoy that disc...but it always reminds me of something that was kinda rare "back in the day"...a band calling another musician out in a song...of course I'm talking about Neil Young's Southern Man being mentioned by Skynyrd in their song Sweet Home Alabama....Young's Southern Man described the racism in the south...cross burnings and blacks being beaten with whips..."I saw cotton and I saw black...tall white mansions and little shacks"...and most people don't know that Neil's other song that irked Lynyrd Skynyrd was off the Harvest album..Alabama... unlike Southern Man..it was a rambling incoherent mess that Young admitted later sent out mixed messages and wasn't very well thought out...so when Sweet Home Alabama was composed...it took care of both of these songs

In Sweet Home Alabama you have these lyrics

"well I heard mister Young sing about her(Alabama).....well I heard ole Neil put her down...well I hope Neil Young will remember...a southern man don't need him around anyhow".....now they take a shot at the North...."now Watergate does not bother me...does your conscience bother you"...

Over the years there had grown a mutual respect for each other...Young said he was proud to be mentioned in one of their songs because they "play like they mean it"...and before his death Ronnie Van Zant used to wear a Neil Young T-Shirt when they played Sweet Home Alabama...and Neil would play Sweet Home Alabama at his gigs.....

Things like that fascinate me...I lived during that time and songs bring back that era for me

Thanks Clint, all new to me. Fascinating stuff.
