Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Clement]

Oh, HELL Yeah! Great album and really engaging mix! Fun documentary as well. I'm seriously gonna need to find matching speakers for my surrounds, so i can hear my Atmos mixes!

More fun stuff, Particularly the Ascent

I love Richard but I think the Confined Escape will be it for me tonight.

Véronique Sanson - 50th anniversary release (just out) of "de l'autre côté de mon rêve" with blu-ray with atmos mix.

Al Stewart's highest-rated release. Desk clock was my father's. His father stopped the clock at the time my father was born.

Del Sol String Quartet, Scrapyard Exotica: compositions by Mason Bates, Ken Ueno, and Mohammed Fairouz. I got this for a song--it's still just five bucks!--during the most recent Sono Luminus sale, to plug a hole in my collection. Label head and surround engineer Daniel Shores deserves at least as much recognition as 2L's Morten Lindberg, I think; sonically, this is a demo-quality classical surround mix. (No Atmos on this one, as it's from 2015; 5.1 and 7.1 only.) Musically, I like the Bates piece more than the other two (Bates is famously also a DJ as well as a classical composer, and it's one of his "Bagatelles for String Quartet and Electronica" that gives the album its name), but they're all interesting examples of contemporary chamber music.

One of my favorites among a flock of discs that recently migrated to the left coast from the Midwest. (Shout-out to @Clement!) Beautiful record, a rare Rudy van Gelder 5.0 mix, and an even rarer MCh SACD on the High Note label!

that Japanese Premium Sound SACD has a different Surround mix from the Doobies Quadio set, Clem gem! the Japanese Premium Sound SACD has a "new"(ish) 5.1 remix done by Elliot Scheiner, no less, for the DVD-Audio format back in the early noughties, whereas the Quadio Blu-ray has the original 1970's Quadraphonic mix!
