The Velvet Underground - Loaded 45th Anniversary. 96/24
Oh, how I want more VU similar to this release. Wonderful, wonderful!

I was hoping "Kevin Reeves" would surprise us with more early 70's surround besides the superb editions of Allman Bros. Idelwild South and that incredible Velvet Underground -Loaded

If not in time for Xmas.....maybe next year ?

Who Quadrophenia and Depeche Mode-Delta Machine on the menu today.
These are quite different mixes, listened to Who first and listened to Depeche Mode at same sound level of amp.
Who for most part is pretty good mix, needed a bit more punch on bass and drums and would be a 10.
Listening at same sound level and I quite enjoyed Depeche Mode today, it doesn't get alot of love but it does have some neat use of putting some key parts of the mix to the rears, its more of some selective putting some sounds to the rears. I sat closer to the rears for the DM and enjoyed the listen this way.

It's been sitting here for a few weeks now, finally have the time give it the first spin -

Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans

 

[bossfan]

Yesterday was a rainy day. My wife was reading the new Springsteen book so I took the opportunity to listen to some music. Started with Porcupine Tree's Octane Twisted DVD. Just Stereo but I love it along with the Incident. People need to give this album a better chance. Ok followed that with Yes Topographical oceans. Sweet. Mostly listened to the extras. Then on to led Zeppelin Celebration Day. Excellent. Finally at the end of the day after watching Joan Baez's 75th birthday celebration on PBS, I decided on Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scotts.. A Great Day musically anyway.

King Crimson - Three of a Perfect Pair (On and Off the Road box)

 

[user 1679]

XTC - Skylarking

 

[Frogmort]

Tesseract - Polaris

EDIT: I would call this pop-math-metal music. Decent surround in some ways; lead vocals in center/harmonies in surrounds and some discrete effects too, but main drums/guitar/bass is almost just big stereo. A bit too pop for my tastes overall, but some amazingly tight math-metal breaks.

Re-Edit: The worst of the vocals remind me a bit of Dream Theater, the best reminds me a bit of early Toto.

 

[Frogmort]

Marillion - FEAR

 

[Frogmort]

Sorry, drunken post edited.

And again.

Now on to our regularly scheduled program.

Beat and TOAPP in one shot!

Shock Treatment - Edgar Winter Group

Putting the kaput Seedy-Bore Demodulatorpotatopeeler to some use.. as a Stereo pre-amp! :yikes

Suddenly all the old Quad albums that had too much treble and no bass have had their polarity reversed and the neutrons are flowing in the right direction bay-bee! :woopie

REM's Out of Time 25th Anniversary. Just got this today, and gave it a spin. Good music, well mixed. Will probably listen again tonight. Packaging nice, but for some reason one of the booger globs they used to attach a track listing on the back just didn't want to let go and I thought it might tear the cover. Luckily it gave way eventually without damage.
