Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[kap'n krunch]

I LOVE ALL of Björk's Surround mixes...if you can get the Vespertine DVD-A, even better...

I've got them all! Pity that Biophilia and especially Vulnicura did not make it into surround.
Funny thing is that Björk is banned at home. I can only play her when I'm alone or with my child. He really enjoys the choreography we've made up for It's all so quiet... Shhhh!

Yup, I got them all too in SACD AND DVD-A (and of course the Boxset)

I was not moved by Biophilia but Vulnicura sounds more interesting...that one would've been "un PUNTAZO" en Surround!!!

Fortunately my better half loves Björk.....so no problem...

Destiny's Child - Destiny Fulfilled (Dualdisc)

It may only be Dolby 5.1, but the surround mix is very good. I wish we'd get more R&B in (true) hirez 5.1 surround.

How about this one?

Bon Jovi-Slippery When Wet Blu Ray Audio...if I have time I will play the Dual Disc after this and compare them...from just a few minutes of Livin' On A Prayer it sounds the same as the Dual Disc...I love Wanted Dead or Alive...

They are both heavily brickwalled, unfortunately. The audio tracks (wav files) are almost, if not, identical.

I'm not Lute but I like it

Thom Cadley did some great work back in the day imho (Luther Vandross/Dance With My Father, Alicia Keys/Songs In A Minor, DVD-A's.. Beyoncé/Dangerously In Love, Destiny's Child/Survivor, Mary Mary, Kelly Rowland/Simply Deep SACDs.. and a number of DualDiscs including Backstreet Boys/Never Gone, Jessica Simpson/In This Skin, P!nk/I'm Not Dead..)

It's a shame what has happened over the years....just look at the DR back in 1986 HERE

The Dynamic range of the 5.1 is apparently in the 10's & 11's for every track which leads me to believe this is (yet another) one where the front L&R channels have been maximized (yellow brick road does this too and it's alright by me).. anyway, all that aside, how does the 5.1 sound to you?

Go Chicago Blackhawks...

Oops...wrong thread. Carry on.

I think Adam the Man pretty much summed it up.
