Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[GOS]

That is the best news you can possibly have. It is so wonderful to buy a new title and hear it for the first time.

That really is true and a great point! How boring life would be without hearing "new" music. :banana:

i just received KC's Three of a Perfect Pair and Beat, forgot I ordered them. Both of these albums are completely new to me. Now listening to ToaPP and my first impression is it sounds full and crisp if that makes any sense. Lots of solid low end, sharp instruments and clean vocals. So far, liking the mix and content. Definitely has a Talking Heads feel to it. Just realized I'm on my second triple .:beer2

Great west coast music:

I'm not Jan, but all of the Depeche Mode albums from "Speak & Spell" to "Exciter" are worth owning.
Very good surround mixes on all of them!

Gene(GOS) agree with Ryan and Jan but as I am a completist I have all the Depeche Mode albums, I like the ones after Exciter as well and all can be bought in 5.1.
FYI Speak and Spell is quite different then all their other albums as Vince Clarke was only part of the band for this one and then went on to have a couple of awesome albums with Yaz(or Yazoo) which you can buy in a very expensive boxset now(Dts 5.1) and then went on to do many amazing albums with Erasure(no 5.1 as far as I know). Vince Clarke stuff is more pop catchy tunes as Depeche Mode still has catchy stuff to but they went in a different electronic sound.

For Depeche Mode the 2nd and 3rd albums are 2 of their weakest IMO(Broken Frame and Construction Time Again) but after that their albums got better and better.

I was listening to "Exciter" and "Songs of Faith and Devotion" this week, good stuff.

OK, I was able to change one of my unused buttons to artworkview. Still, it only chooses front or artist when I double click. Never back...

Oh well.....

I have only one multichannel album with Depeche Mode - the Live 101 2xsacd. Played it once I think, not to impressed with it. Got it many years ago.

My favourite Maiden album, music wise. It just swings, great bass lines and.... well yeah I grew up with this album, lots of memories :friday:.

Foo Fighters In Your Honor DVD-A (5.1 MLP 96k 24b), a subtle surround mix but a fantastic piece of work, excellent sound quality.

I have all their studio albums and don't have this one so can't comment but from what I have read this is the poorest example of what they can do as this was either fake surround or rear only audience noise so its not a good 5.1. Based on that only a couple of comments is a tipoff as well that not many fans of this,whereas you can see alot more comments on studio surrounds at QQ.
Their studio albums are discreet in surround.

My original DVD-A went south during a road trip but I got a gently used one for a few dollars, The Beatles LOVE (5.1 MLP 96k 24b). Wait months to spin it out of fear of overplay. And no, it's not fair to call it a mash up, it's much better than that.

I have two copies of LOVE [just in case] and to call it a 'mash~up" is ridiculous. It was SPECIFICALLY CREATED for a LIVE Vegas venue. On my system, the sonics are BEYOND ravishing [almost SURREAL] and if ONLY Sir George had remixed the entire Beatles catalogue (for 4.0 and 5.1) I think the results would've comfortably eclipsed and/or superseded ALL Beatles reissues whether MONO/Stereo/Vinyl or otherwise.

I know John Lennon preferred the MONO version of Sergeant Pepper but had he heard the portions of it as remixed in 5.1 by Sir George and Giles for LOVE I think he might've changed his tune.

Oh my - LOVE in 5.1 is simply a dream come true. Wonderful....guess I'll listen to it tomorrow morning with coffee.
