Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[4-earredwonder]

My copy should be arriving soon.

Listened to it last night in 7.1. LOVE this album especially their brilliant rendition of George Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So." Haven't delved into the copious bonus tracks yet but I think you'll enjoy it immensely.


SO Good!

Gladys Knight & The Pips - Imagination - Discrete 4-Channel Reel-to-Reel => FLAC

51 years ago (October, 1973), Gladys Knight & The Pips released Imagination on the Buddha Records label. It peaked #9 on U.S. Billboard Top LPs and #1 on U.S. Billboard Top Soul LPs. Besides producing their only Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit single “Midnight Train To Georgia”, it also produced other successful singles, including “I’ve Got To Use My Imagination”, “Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me”, and “Where Peaceful Waters Flow”. A Rolling Stone critic stated that the album lacked “Imagination”, on the other hand, Rolling Stone listed Gladys Knight as one of the Greatest Singers Of All Time when she was declared the “Empress Of Soul” in 2007. The only way to listen to the quad mix was by listening to the reel-to-reel or the 8-track cartridge. A couple QQ members have the reel-to-reel, but I’m unable to find any comments and there is no QQ poll. To my ears, it sounds pretty good. 2016 saw the reissue of Imagination on 180 gram vinyl in Europe and it is still available on Amazon. I’m unable to find out who did the QUAD mix on Imagination--maybe someone from this group knows. Buddha is currently handled by Sony Music Entertainment and I would love one of their surround mixing engineers produce a Blu-Ray reissue. Maybe Stephen W. Tayler?

Brother in Arms
mixed by Chuck Ainlay, IMHO, Phenomenal

Since joining this fine site, I never looked to see who mixed an album. Now after I start the music, it's the first thing I look for after climbing in the recliner 4-words....Old dog, New trick

Moved on now to Passion Play by JT. I think I over served myself some JTS Brown tonight, I noticed I typed Bob instead of Bop.

Like the Bronski Beat that arrived yesterday this is a good one! Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Long After Dark, I've never heard this album before but really enjoying it, album and bonus tracks all in well mixed Dolby Atmos. I'm listening to these on my 7.1.4 system, when the polls go up both albums are getting a 10 score from me!

Bonus tracks on Petty are in Atmos??

Yes they are, that's 22 tracks in Atmos, I haven't counted how many are on the Bronski Beat, but it's a lot (27?).

 

[madship]

Such a playful mix. Truly suits the music.

Yes they are, that's 21 tracks in Atmos, I haven't counted how many are on the Bronski Beat, but it's a lot.

Looks to be about 81 minutes of music!
