It's Donald Fagen night at my place, listening to -
The Nightfly
Kamakiriad
Morph The Cat
I really wish someone would pick up the ball
and remix the rest of his catalog to multich or better yet Atmos.
"Yo, Mr Steven Wilson, what you got up your sleeve this summer. LOL

Something @GOS wrote has me checking out LPs from 1980 down in my quad space. My wife headed out, so i'm back up in the 7.1 room. When i replaced everything must go on the shelf, this one caught my eye! Since it's from 1980, i'm CRANKING it! Bliss! Hey Nineteen–man, i do miss that Cuervo Gold and that fine Columbian!

I only got into King Crimson about 2 years ago with the surround DVD-A’s and this is also the one that really clicked with me. If this ends up being their last studio album then I think they went out on a high note.

Same for me, it took me about 2 years to collect every studio album in surround, my other half hates them more than any other band I play so am limited to listening when she is out lol. Proud to say I never paid more than retail for any of them even though I got them all new

I’m pretty lucky, I don’t know what I was thinking but I decided to use Lizard (in 5.1) as my girlfriend’s introduction to KC, and to my utter shock she loved it. That one even took a while for me to appreciate.

She loves Yes so she had a smile on her face when she heard Jon Anderson on Prince Rupert Awakes

I was SO BLESSED to see XTC on two consecutive nights back in November of 1980: headlining the first night and opening for the Police the second. Another phenomenal release from 1980!

Absolutely magnificent! The final paragraph of the review this release inspired:
The record itself strikes me as a timeless classic, a release of rare perfection lovingly restored and given a surround mix that enhances Clark's spiritual yearning and underscores the transcendence of Art. One of the true treasures of my collection and an undeniable TEN! Thanks @neil wilkes !

Does anyone know what Neil Wilkes is up to these days? It is over a year since he last visited QQ.

OMG! Checking out Steven Wilson's Atmos mix of KISS, Destroyer. Now that I have a bad ass amp. No way. This thing is a rock and roll monster. It's an easy 10, and I don't remember what I voted. Damn

 

[Clement]

Speaking of rock and roll monsters, here's another one from 1980!
