Tonight's random surround playlist:

Beck, Bogert & Appice "I'm So Proud" (Beck, Bogert & Appice Quad SACD) Beautiful song and guitar solo

Roy Orbison "It's Over" (Black & White Night DVD-A)
Foo Fighters "Still" (In Your Honor DVD-A)

Beck "Lost Cause" (Sea Change BD-A) Essential disc
Paul McCartney "Band On The Run" (The McCartney Years DVD-V) Another essential disc
Lynyrd Skynyrd "Simple Man" (Southern Surroundings DVD-A) anything mixed by Scheiner is essential!

Avenged Sevenfold "Welcome To The Family" (Nightmare)

Penguins win Stanley Cup with 2-0 win over Nashville. Got home late, put on Mike Oldfield's 2010 Hergest Ridge 5.1 during 3rd period (just happened to be on a stack)

German progressive rock - Pink Floyd style - very nice

In fact, the vocalist sounds a lot like David Gilmour.

Would recoommend these multichannel albums too:

World through My Eyes, 2005 (SACD)
Wanted, 2014 (DVD Dolby Digital)

I really really like RPWL: World Through My Eyes (SACD 5.1) but not so much Stock (DTS 5.1). Stock sounds exactly like it is, a bunch of leftovers not good enough to make the original album(s).

Any thoughts on RPWL plays Pink Floyd's the man and the journey available as a cd + dvd (5.1)?

Interesting. I don't have that one would look forward to the comments from those that do.

I've only listened to it once, but musically its good (which is what I listen for first). I'd need another listen to appraise the surround, I don't remember it being 'discrete' but it is a live recording. So it is in the 'to listen to again' category, but I've a load of music I haven't got round to listening to once yet, so its towards the bottom of the pile.

Hard to believe this DVDA'S music from Donovan comes from NINTEEN SIXTY FIVE !!! K-Reist that's early !!


Anyways love the music but the surround is just plain , well -----not really that existent as we know it should be or must be for that matter.

also was available as a dvda/dualdisc btw.

FWIW -----Donovan-Fairytale DVDA (fr Silverline )

To it's credit it does have plenty of bonus 5.1 tracks--six all told .

 

[fizzywiggs41]

One of the best ever DD 5.1 dvds ever .

mixed in surround by Steven Wilson---a must own, must play, by an incredible Canterbury Rock/Folk group.


Caravan-In The Land Of Grey And Pink (I think we need more from Caravan )

I say it's a format called Quasi-Quad (5.1), aka Sliverline.

 

[fizzywiggs41]

And in QUAD .......


Rick Wakeman-The Six Wives Of Henry VIII. --DVDA quadraphonic classic.

 

[fizzywiggs41]

a little "Franken-Shteen"



Edgar Winter-They Only Come Out At Night. Quad Epic SQ LP


Excellent collector type quad mix. :upthumb





A Quad SACD would be soooooo nice.

Yes Q-Linda one of them there TC ELECTRONICS quick swipes I figure and from a tepid stereo ? Tape perhaps.

One thing we can thank them for is the phrase "Silverlined " when describing any bad 5.1 mixes . :yikes

I only own a few of these particular (Silverlined) Silverline label discs , but only because I like the particular artist . Yeah that's it ---my excuse is it's the music from a well known good artist !!

John Fogerty-Premonition is a great surround mix . But my fave tunes in 5.1 on that live disc have to be his "solo " album works., such as Centerfield.
Good tune !!

"PUT ME IN COACH ! I'M READY TO PLAY...........CENTERFIELD !

Day off from work random morning surround playlist:

Bryan Adams "Summer of '69" (Reckless BD-A) The BEST "glory days" song (of course, I was only a fetus that summer, but the sentiment brings a smile every time...)
Coldplay "The Scientist" (A Rush Of Blood To The Head)
King Crimson "Lizard" (Lizard DVD-A) A band I only discovered thanks to surround... and now love (special thanks to Steven Wilson)
The Flaming Lips "It's Summertime" (Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots DVD-A) A 10 for surround; just wish these Lips discs weren't so brick-walled (fantastic music, though!)
R.E.M. "What's The Frequency Kenneth?" (Monster DVD-A) scheiner
Donald Fagen "Teahouse on The Tracks" (Kamakiriad DVD-A) SCHEINER!!!:banana:
Ratt "Round And Round" (Out Of The Cellar)
Focus "Hocus Pocus" (Q8) I wish we could get this in hi-rez! This is my only yodeling song
Elton John "Love Song" (Tumbleweed Connection SACD) Love the vocals... the Elton SACDs are essential surround purchases!
Love And Rockets "Saudade" (Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven BD-A) beautiful song and mix
R.E.M. "E-bow The Letter" (New Adventures In Hi-Fi DVD-A) Wasn't really into R.E.M. until I heard the surround mixes... now I'm a fan!
