Joe Satriani - Strange Beautiful Music - SACD 5.1

Ooh I lurrrve this one! I play with it often!

I just finished watching/listening to Cream Reunion Show at the Royal Albert Hall from 2005. Fantastic disc, great sound and good surround. As a lifetime drummer I really hate drum solos but Ginger's performance of Toad is the highlight of the show.

Joe Satriani - Strange Beautiful Music - SACD 5.1

My favorite album of all time.

 

[rtbluray]

Currently playing the 5.1 mix of "1984" by Anthony Phillips for the first time. (5.1 MLP DVD-A/V)
You're hit with immersion pretty suddenly, and I like that!

 

[rtbluray]

Now moving on to "Toy Matinee" by the group of the same name.
I was informed that this album was released 26 years ago today!

Ghost Community (5.1 Flac downloaaaaaaadddd on the dowwwwwwwwn lowwwwww)

Better than Ezra.

No, hang on, better than Kiama.

(and I quite liked Kiama in 5.1 too.. ..so how's that for a ringing endorsement! )

I'm listening to Ghost Community as well. So far a real nice sounding 5.1. Excellent music, with lots of influences it seems. I do hear the Styx keyboard soaring moments. And the vocals remind me sometimes of the vocals of Dream Theater. Nice. Good to get some good rock and roll in 5.1!

Well, I was hoping to be spinning some of these new releases everyone is raving about but in typical fashion for me nothing has come not even flac donload which makes no sense as its just supposed to be a email but haven't even got that, no Ghost,no Chicago,no Anthony Phillips.
Well time to revisit some other titles so have been going through following and not feeling so bad now:

Genesis 1976-1982 Box,what great tunes,mixes done very good still mastered too bright but the music is oh so good.
XTC-Oranges and Lemons-was actually listening to this while watching England lose in Soccer the other day.
Steve Hackett-Spectral Mornings and Please Don't Touch-nice job by Steven Wilson on these.

I have been on holidays this week and music listening was the priority,great fun......

Too funny haven't received any mail for a couple of days and just got some just minutes after my previous post complaining of not receving anything and I just got the following:
Barclay James Harvest-Everyone is Everybody Else
Anthony Phillips-Wise After the Event so 1984 must not be to far off as it is on the way as well.

spinning BJH next as have never heard this album

 

[Tornado Red]

Chicago VII Quadio 4.0. I love the mix of "Wishing You Were Here"....one year later after its release, Pink Floyd introduced "Wish You Were Here". The correlation? None that I know of

after few years of break, listened to "War of the Worlds".
pretty good albeit my previous thought from 10 or so years back that this particular release could much more benefited from being issued as DVD-A with cool done slideshow on the theme, still valid.

Some Diana Krall tonight: When I look in your Eyes...

First time in Surround - got the disc cheap on Import CDs a couple of weeks ago = loving it!

c'mon, in 2005?
anyway still amazing how not heavy weight celebs of industry but rather two humble guys Neil and Steven laid changes in philosophy of mega corporation.
i guess Sony wouldn't lose anything by re-releasing this on BD-A supplying the sound with great, comic alike, slideshow. i would re-purchase such version, no doubt.

It was a joke..! :upthumb
It probably lost a little something in translation
Sony? C'mon, keep your expectations of them low, or you'll only be disappointed
