"Do do do do do do Do , Do the Limbo Rock ! Damn song ! Started off this morning humming it. Probably cause I heard it yesterday from watching John Water's-Hairspray :spot
. Oh and it was in surround. (Chace surround converted to Dolby on the DVD).



Anyway back to more serious music. Cowboy Junkies-Whites Off Earth Now -SACD a rare surround MoFi .

Happy New Year! How is the surround mix for this???

 

[Frogmort]

Genesis - Trick of the Tail :beer2 :steering:

Just kidding, no drinking and driving, just lots of great surround music, ale and pipe-weed for this Hobbitses. :upthumb

 

[Frogmort]

Genesis - Genesis

 

[ji eff]

Antonio Vivaldi - The Four Seasons (Tacet)

best of:
10. Winter - Allegro non molto
11. Winter - Largo
12. Winter - Allegro

Finally got it.. and it rocks!

Though, Beethoven - String Quartets Op. 130, 131, 133, 135 is really something in "moving surround". (I had imagined this "moving surround" thing to be a sort of "carousel" mix, but no! ... it's more like The Dark Side Of Classical)

A bit tame, but they have the "My Winnipeg" parody tune so it's well worth it.(left And Leaving)

I FINALLY finished converting all of my multichannel discs to flac, so right now I'm listening with Kodi's "party mode", which is just a way of saying "random". Simple Minds just finished, and now "Fiddle About" from Tommy is playing.

Converting everything to flac and loading it on a NAS may be one of the coolest things I've ever done!

And now the Eliot Scheiner mix of "Free Bird" is playing.

Santana - Amigos
(in QS mode! :yikes )

(in QS mode! :yikes )

:yikes QS meaning Quasi*~Surround mode, mi Amigo, while 'nursing' a horrendous New Years Eve hangover?

[*seemingly, apparently but NOT really]

BTW, read your other post regarding AMIGOS and VERY doubtful Columbia EVER released any QS QUADS. Which is why we need SONY Japan to reissue AMIGOS and ALL the other Santana Discs on SACD.......PRONTO.

Haha.. my dear Ralpheeo, you know me so well..

Yes, that QS.. I doubt Amigos is QS either but it is rather interesting to hear it decoded that way.

I suspect there is a Quad mix of some description lurking in those grooves, as the Quad LP in Stereo doesn't sound like my CD at all.. my hunch is something went seriously awry.. quite what that is/was I'm at a loss.. I know that the Rear Right separates better from the Front Right than the Rear Left from the Front Left when decoding via SQ and the Stereo balance of the SQ LP seems out of whack somewhat, with an emphasis on the Right side of the image when played back in 2-channels.. but beyond that.. I'm stumped! indeed.. would so love to hear the discrete 4-ch versions of some of these matrix only Quads, how they are actually supposed to sound.. hopefully one day!

Belated Happy NY to you, btw! Hope you have a wonderful 2017! :upthumb

And here's hoping that in 2017, Dutton Vocalion releases LESS schmaltz and a LOT more SPARKLE ! They got the power, bro!:banana:

FINALLY ordered the SONY Japan mch SACD of Jeffrey Beck's Rough 'n Ready. Cannot Wait.

Excellent Paul. Have you got the artist slideshow working?

 

[sbrom]

Sounds like a great system! On what specific device are you running Kodi?

Thanks, Garry. No, I don't have the artist slideshow yet. I'm just happy to have all my multichannel ripped and backed up.

Right now I'm just using my PC, because my first two goals were to set up a NAS and get everything ripped. At this point, I'm open to any suggestions. I'm thinking of using a NUC with Linux, but I don't know how much processing power or SSD memory I'll need.

New disc in the collection:

AOR-style music, very Toto'ish, my favourite type! Great fidelty and surround-mix. And it's Swedish
