Gentle Giant finally clicked for me in stereo so I ordered the blu-rays for Octopus and Power and the Glory. This one seems to be out of stock at the usual places.

You really need to get “Free hand” it is amazing in 5.1 and Atmos, it’s in stock at most places I use

Got that one a while ago, way before I even could appreciate the music. Sat on my shelf unplayed for months.
Played the blu-ray again before ordering Octopus and P&G and loved it.

Eric Clapton NOTHING BUT THE BLUES [Reprise/BD~V ATMOS] This probably belongs in the BD~V concert thread but I was so smitten by the sheer excellence of this production contained in the NBTB box set that I just had to post it here. For a 1994 concert filmed live at Fillmore West over a two day period combined with brilliant archival footage of Clapton's guitar heroes like Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Muddy Waters et alia, this is a MUST SEE concert. IMO, the audio is superb with ample immersion in the rear channels and much better than average video [1080p]. I recently acquired this $230

• box set when Amazon blew it out for $64 and IMO, it's worth every penny. One of Eric's finest performances, bar none! He was born to sing the blues......

First listen!!

You're in for a treat! "Knots" was made for surround, and "Aspirations" is probably my favorite song of theirs.

 

[bookofsaturdays]

I really loved Aspirations when listening in stereo on Spotify, especially the bonus instrumental outtake version. Looking forward to the 5.1 mix!

Archie Shepp – ATTICA BLUES​

Impulse! – AS-9222 (QS CD 1972/2003)
*occasionally odd mixing and song break choices on this one; some of the music is very lovely though.

Not entirely sure this belongs in the "surround" category, because it's Dolby Pro Logic, and I have no idea what hardware I need to decode it. But it's a John Eargle recorded disc, so it's magnificent, even if it's just stereo on my setup.

Dude!
awesome MCH starting on the 3rd track, Missing Persons' "Destination unknown"...the Blondie was mild, the Knack was a bit spicier but the MP one is up there!!!

I'd say an Involve Surround Master for a great decode. Got SM?

And, maybe this thread for posting -

Yes, Dolby Surround titles belong in this thread. They're Surround, so discuss them here.

There is a separate thread for Dolby Surround titles added to your stack.

Thanks for your concern. The more we stay between the lines in posting, the more time the Mods can spend on important stuff, like new polls.

They’ve been out of stock since I heard about them.

But @chucky3042 mentioned that they got boards in this week, so one can hope.
