Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King - DVD-A MLP Lossless 5.1

 

[Simon A]

I've just received this and I'm so happy to have finally found a copy as it's long been out of print and was only released in Japan. This is a fabulous and sweetly discrete Quad mix of Smetana's greatest work recorded in 1975 for the Supraphon label. All I can say is WOW!

 

[Spock]

This sounds great - 4.0, very discrete.

TUSK 5.1

I know, I know, but every time I listen to this I simply cannot for the life of me hear what others "sort of" complain about. I really cannot. I think it sounds great, so rich and full. Wonderful. If this one has issues, then I cannot imagine what a great one sounds like.

Alice Cooper - Muscle of Love (SACD)

Fabulous disc.. :upthumb
..if only.. if only.. I so wish AF could've made the numbers stack up for their Quad SACDs...
hopefully they haven't totally called it a day wrt surround releases in future..

Giving the blu rays a workout these days. Still slowly working through the Chicago box. Almost done. Greatest hits is next.. All excellent so far. Also a little steven Wilson 4.5. Also excellent. Great sound. Love the two PT makeovers. Right now listening to Who's Quadraphenia. Thumbs up.

I walked into a karaoke bar in Hawaii a few years back. I was midway through my 2nd drink chatting with my wife when the guy running the event comes over and hands me a microphone. He starts trying to talk me into taking a turn. The cost was $1 per song. So I tell him, "I cant sing".

His reply: "If you have one dollar, you CAN sing"

I sang 4 songs that night. My favorite karaoke song is "Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook. Good times. Good times.

Lol. I just heard that song while driving in the car today. Excellent tune.

Fab! Love that story!

Thanks for retelling it :upthumb

(I also love Dr. Hook but that's another story! )

"..and I wish I could have made it
More like the movies for you
Some pretty technicolor way it's never been
I'm sorry when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins.."

Edit: Wonder why Dr Hook never had anything in Quad?

Pretty big act, many hits smack bang in the 70's, were on Quad labels during that period (Sony, then EMI/Capitol afaik), nice arrangements, great production values..

..always fascinates me what made the cut for Quad (mixing and/or release, as we know lots of stuff got mixed into Quad that never saw release in Quad!) and what didn't..

Mannheim Steamroller: Fresh Aire 8

I've played this 3 or 4 times; it's pretty good. Very good fidelity. The mix isn't super discrete but definitely creates a large surround field that doesn't disappoint. The music is sort of classical with a strong electronic influence.

Aww man.. you may just have convinced me to get the AF SACD of this one after all..
