Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Clement]

Another great Black Jazz reissue that was first released as a Quad LP. Through the SM v.2, i'm really able to Hear, Sense and Feel this one – the Awakening, indeed! Dig the way the blue lights are reflected on the cover! Stay Surrounded, Comrades!

Barclay James Harvest "Once Again"
Wanted to play this old 5.1 mix before getting the new SWT blu-ray version. It's always been a bit of an odd mix...Peter Mew? Not horrible, and lots of use of all the speakers but some odd mixing choices, probably based on the 70's quad mix I suspect. Great music thought, and the upcoming SWT mixes ought to do it much better justice.

i think Mew just remastered it?

afaik the original Quad was mixed by EMI's Peter Bown.

Bown also mixed the Quad of Argent's "In Deep", as well as "Atom Heart Mother" which he mixed together with Alan Parsons.

Pretty good prog metal, not dream theater but who is?

Trying to force myself to get into Jon Andersons voice, as a huge prog fan I should love Yes and the music is brilliant but……

More magic from Black Jazz! This, too, started out as a Quad LP and sounds absolutely wonderful through the Surround Master! Stay Surrounded, Comrades!

That's the way I feel about Peter Hammill. (But I've got no problem with Anderson, or any number of other singers with, erm, idiosyncratic voices.)

After a week of Jeff Beck greiving and a weekend of high drama football, my brain needed a complete change of direction, I mean complete change.
Michael Dutton's 4.0 Three Penny Opera. Anything Dutton does is good.
Need to go to gym today, back on the horse as they say.

Listening to Frank's Greatest Hits Vol. 2 on quad reel. Amazing quad mix and really good tunes.

I bet that’s quite the change alright! Reminds me, I need to check out my copy of this one. Hopefully I can hang in there, and get through the whole thing. The poster on this cover also reminds me of Derby attired Detective Oskar Rheinhardt in Vienna Blood.

I’m ready for the next batch Mr. Dutton
