Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[svengaleekie]

Thinking about Kiama, I thought I'd go and play some of another good Welsh band, Ghost Community "Cycle Of Life" 5.1 FLAC - which is still available, http://ghostcommunity.co.uk/shop/

Thanks for putting me on to this, I hadn't heard of them@: just too late to get to their gig in Swansea (just down the road from me) after a quick listen on you-tube I have ordered a CD, T-shirt and the 5.1 flac, and am having the 1st listen to them now:music nice:sun

Listening now to Ralph's favorite release of 2014. Blood Sweat and Tears, Child Is A Father Of Mine, 5.1, Audio Fidelity. About as discrete as a disc gets.

Bob Belden's "Black Dahlia" - noirish, cinematic, orchestral jazz. Perfect for a rainy Sunday evening, martini in hand [emoji483]

 

[marpow]

Audio Fidelity's, 4.0 mch Sly And The Family Stone, Greatest Hits, corrected version. I saw Sly and Family, 1970, my very first show at the now gone Winterland.

Might as well keep the Funk going with Herbie Hancock, Thrust, 4.0, awesome. Another AF must.

Alice Cooper "Billion Dollar Babies" DVD-A... A few surround gems on this one (after tweaking the surrounds slightly), especially "Unfinished Suite", "I Love The Dead", and "Billion Dollar Babies". After listening to this DVD-A, as well as a Q8 conversion, I think this album really deserves to be remixed from scratch in hi-rez!

Alice Cooper - "Welcome To My Nightmare"... good mixes; very good tunes... the wide variety of musical styles and instruments really lends itself to surround

My newly acquired Ghost Community - Cycle of Life flac (thanks again DuncanS) it's very good :banana:

I'd prefer and be happy with the original quad mix mastered in hi-res.

KIAMA - Sign of IV (thanks to Gos for reminding me I had this, it's a long time since I played it, about time I dug it out)

 

[Spock]

More great Rob-project-stuff

What's the surround like on the Big Country DVD?

What's the surround like on the Big Country DVD?

It sounds like some kind of upmix, not very discrete.

Not yet! https://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Quarter...4171421&sr=1-1&keywords=no+quarter+jimmy+page

I just bought one! inc. postage just under £9 from the Netherlands. I had originally recorded it in stereo to DAT from cable TV, and for some reason never bought the DVD. Which is another reason I love QQ apart from new releases it also inspires me to buy older music, plus those I didn't know were in 5.1 :music

Good job, Duncan !! :upthumb

Keeping surround alive.

My favourite tune on Billion $ Babies has got to be "Generation Landside " with the crashing guitar solo at the end. But it's only available with the QUAD version, sadly.

The song mixed on the DVD-A is a bit of a let down with a crappy fadeout. Too bad, there's not a quad version on SACD ----which is sorely needed . Even on a "Sampler" would be sublime.

From 1970 this DTS DVD by

Quatermass


A bit unusual sounding, but it's not too bad of a surround mix. Some had to be created , interesting info in the liner notes, btw.
