Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[fizzywiggs41]

I'm also rather impressed that D/V can get a dozen quad SACDs off the launch pad like its nothing. They have a few things going on to their advantage, like the fact that easy listening titles are lower cost to license in some cases, less resistance to the idea from labels artists and managers, plus more favorable European licensing rates.

But still all this does not mean that we would wake up to news like we did. It still take money, and someone at D/V appears loaded, and going to town.

I really hope that they connect the dots that easy listening is not far from jazz which is a hop and skip to R&B, which pop is only around the corner, and Rock will be staring one in the face from there.

Could Nilsson and Edgar Winter be clear and free from a quad-block in D/V's eyes? Could this label become the quadraphonic redemption after quad-blocking? Can you imagine two-fers from The Guess Who, Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter, and Nilsson?

Maybe I'm getting a little carried away, but I like to be optimistic.

I don't think your getting carried away.


I'm imagining Guess Who, Nilsson, Winter (Johnny & Edgar), plus Johnny Cash, Mike Nesmith, Mancini's-Pink,etc.
Surely they will surprise us with more. :music

That's why I like working from home as well, I work much better when surrounded by music! Though I haven't been able to today :howl

Hey guys! Just curious - what do you work with? Something that you can be productive in in the same time as you actively are listening to surround music. I want that job too

I'm an Electronic Engineer so when I'm designing circuits in general I find I use a different part of my brain from that which listen's to the music (to miss quote the Doobies!), so I work better as it shuts out everything else. But there are times e.g. if I have to read in depth a datasheet and understand some complex aspect of it, then I do that in silence. Sometimes though my brain will block out everything and I have to put the album back on as I've missed it playing!

love the Nightbirds Quad and it's wonderful on AF's SACD!! :banana:
..and would you believe Labelle's other Quad, "Phoenix" is an even better set of surround mixes! (imho )
I'm on the lookout for a NM copy of the SQ LP on the cheap and when one comes along I'll pounce like a panther!

"the amazing flight of the lone star...
just like heaven and hell takes us so very faaaaaar..."

(the opener on Phoenix is not a classic smash like Lady Marmalade but it is a truly epic track.. and a great way to open a fab album!)

R.E.M. - Out of Time (Blu-ray 5.1 96/24)

Sounds very good. Fidelity is great...very warm, full.

 

[marpow]

R.E.M. - Out of Time (Blu-ray 5.1 94/24)

Sounds very good. Fidelity is great...very warm, full.

Same, listening now to R.E.M, warm is the key word, discrete rears, vocal center, right and left front a touch blended/ambient. I love it. Great menu, booklet, pictures, stories, etc. Just as good as the other R.E.M DVD-A's and they are all great also.
