Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Spock]

I love Magenta's Metamorphosis - it's great.

Now listening to The Pineapple Thief - a great one too:

Was not easy to fit the big book in my small A4 scanner - so not happy with the graphics

Absolute Elsewhere - In Search Of Ancient Gods

Really? I just saw this today and had no idea what it was about.....sounded like a 1970's television show. What's it all about?

Oh its lovely this one (hope some label someday might reissue it.. fat chance I know but nice to dream! )
The official blurb says;

'An Experience in Sound and Music Based on the Books of Erich von Däniken'

spacey trippy funky proggy weird whacked out loveliness.

oh and Bruford's on drums

a YT user described it as;

"Camel going through the eye of a floyd needle into the Tangerine Dreams of planet Gongle on a Soft machine"

Thanks, that description may say it all! May have to get if this has not got everyone on the hunt. ?

well it was a UK only CD-4 so I don't know how plentiful copies in your neck of the woods might be but its worth the extra bit of effort I reckon!

Wow, that's a thing of beauty..

Sorry to ask cause I'm sure it has been mentioned in other threads but...WHAT PROGRAM IS THAT with the lovely interface and even the lyrics (you know I'm a SUCKER for lyrics!)
I see that it's a Windows OS...I'm guessing you have an HDMI out to your TV....and that's as far as I get...

I think its foobar but Kodi can do that stuff natively on the Mac (foobar you have to run in Wine/emu mode iirc?) Garry/Homer is your man for that afaik..

Yes it is Foobar, with the Darkone skin - believe he is just running the tv as a second screen from his laptop.

I'm always curious when someone says it's an upmix.....how you know that Fizz-master? Does it say something about it on the disc itself?

excellent news el Kapitan.. seems just as HFPA is in its death throes they figure out us fussy fuckers want Hi-Res files too and that mp3 don't cut the mustard.. and doubly cool, I like a single long file of an album, if I'm gonna sit down and listen to albums as albums in one fell swoop why not take it in one big swig.. :friday:

So, Adam - you don't bother with ID'ing the individual songs? Meaning, you just see 1 file, with multiple songs, only not identified as individual songs, with names?
