Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Tornado Red]

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on SACD in 5.1

Geez his SACDs sound great, I don’t play them near enough...

Marillion, F.E.A.R. I actually appreciate this release more now after having purchased Misplaced Childhood. Fear was my first Marillion and then Misplaced Childhood. I needed to listen to some surround as the last 3 weeks it has been all stereo.

And a bit of Tull.

Wish I could afford this.

Roxy Music - Avalon SACD... man this music really grows on you. Now I'm looking forward to more Roxy music releases... damn (more money)

That’s what I mean, $329, ridiculous. It’s probably not even that good, for $59.99 then I would buy.

Is Avalon a surround release ? I know it is a stereo SACD release.

Yes Avalon is available in both surround and Stereo versions(you have to be careful and make sure you are getting a surround version)

I paid $8 for a used copy when J&R went out of business, and got a replacement disc with a fix. I'm not actually positive what the problem was with the original disc.

Bill Bruford - Feels Good To Me 5.1 Dolby Digital... the fidelity sounds good... I wouldn't have thought it was DD; the mix sounds excellent... lots of discrete surround activity... I'm liking the music on first listen (although only 3 songs in)... I ripped it immediately using DVDAE, but the weird thing is that there were 4 programs on the DVD, 2 5.1 AC3 and 2 stereo; the 5.1 programs look exactly the same and so do the stereo (judging by lengths of the songs only). Received set #1935 (guess I just made it!)

Edit:
One comment on the box: It's a weird shape, bigger in one dimension than an LP, LP length in the other dimension. And there's nothing written on the side/spine, so it doesn't fit very well on a bookshelf and isn't easily identifiable. I wish these sets could be somewhat standardized: LP-sized Super Deluxe Sets (Sgt. Pepper, Aqualung, etc) Book-Sized sets (Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, etc), and CD-Sized sets (I'd prefer the last option... CD/DVD-A or BD-A), but the Book-Sized sets are growing on me... Super-Deluxe sets are tough to store, but at least if they were all LP-sized they would fit nicely with the other LPs.

I'm just hoping that down the pike, ALL the TULL DVD~V DTS 5.1 discs are re~released as BD~As in a boxset [like the Chicago BD~As from Rhino].

What's the chance of THAT happening? :yikes

 

[Juggsnelson]

Prepping myself for digging into the Trouble No More box set later tonight with this 5.1 SACD.

TYA probably my favorite band from late 60's thru the 80's would be a dream come true to have the Deram and Chrysalis years in surround, one release is such a tease.

You probably are aware of this already and no surround , sorry. But TYA boxset with Chris Kimsey (quad mix assistant engineer ).
Well fwiw :

Yes, Fizzy, I already ordered, I don't know why, just a repeat of old except one disc is going to be previously unreleased. They are a little delayed in shipping, isn't everybody now a days?
The recent catalog RBCD releases of TYA from a few years ago had stereo and mono mixes. I guess, like others, we have our favorite bands and we just buy everything. I promise, this is it for me unless more surround versions come out of TYA.

INXS - Kick 30 Blu-ray Dolby Atmos, I'm listening in 7.1

 

[GOS]

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi

I really never tire of this. It has a LOT of warts, but the music, lyrics and mix are wonderful.

 

[GOS]

Sgt Pepper - multi-channel.

What you say? It's not good enough? I think it is.....

Excellent.
