Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[fizzywiggs41]

Love this album, never heard it in quad.

I was lucky enough to find a 5.1 SACD of Toys last year. Quite fine!

Toys SACD is a better disc than the quad counterpart fwiw. I never had the stereo disc but I find that SACD to be full of music (likely superior studio takes) that are not present on the quad album.
That being said all 3 of their quads are worth owning for the stellar mixes by Jay Messina . Rocks is my fave quad mix , but Wings is my favourite Aerosmith album.

Listened to three excellent surround discs last nite . Highly recommend these 3 greats.


Pete Namlook/Klaus Schulze-Dark Side of Moog vol 11 DTS CD (on MIG Records) -first track is incredible .

Steve Miller-Fly Like An Eagle DTS CD-the use of surround/quad is superb for all the synthesizer tracks on this disc.

Steely Dan-Gaucho DTS CD-4 tunes really stand out for the mix and music , Babylon Sisters, Hey Nineteen, Gaucho, and Time Out Of Mind.

Pure Prairie League - Two Lane Highway / If The Shoe Fits (SACD) Never knew this band. Country & Western with an edge, pretty good. Good fidelity, good surround mix (quad)
Return To Forever - Musicmagic (SACD) Excellent music, Excellent fidelity and surround mix (quad), highly recommended.
I would propose Michael J. Dutton to become MBE (at least!)

i'm surprised how good these two Q8s sound tbh, miles better than my clapped out old SQ LPs anyway! to be free of their SQ and Q8 chains would be wonderful indeed! :upthumb

Any possibility of ...ehem ..sharing them?

Its rotten and beastly and ghastly and illegal and sordid and wrong! :violin
I'll email you later

meantime, I'm enjoying this old chestnut in (((( surround sound ))))

(it feels like we'll never get any of these Simon or Garfunkel, or indeed Simon & Garfunkel, Quads reissued anytime soon.. so just as well we've got our old records and tapes..phew! )

very nice sounding cart.. and I've loved the mix from the first time I heard it..

Angel Clare and Breakaway are right up D~V's alley, Adam.:banana:

BTW, do you have the CD~4 or Q8 of Papa John Creach? :violin

 

[elmer]

Peter Primamore “Grancia” SACD- beautifully played and recorded - discrete too! Lovely chamber jazz perfect for a Sunday evening (martini included).

 

[Cibola]

ji eff, in the unknown, 5.1 PCM 48kHz flac

hey Ralph, I don't have the Papa John Creach Quad in either format unfortunately.. I've searched for it for a while now.. ah well, maybe one day, its on the list (along with a ton of other 5.1 & Quad things I can't find either! nobody wants that old Quad stuff? oy! i beg to differ! )

 

[skherbeck]

Richard Strauss - "An Alpine Symphony" SACD (Haitink/London Symphony Orchestra)... very wide sound stage; full use of the surrounds (bordering on discrete but not); EXCELLENT majestic, thundering, dynamic cinema-like music. I wish I had a surround version of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" with this good of a surround mix. Can't wait for my Dutton Vocalion SACD with Strauss' "The Hero" to arrive!

Man, this sounds good

Edit: By the way, can anyone suggest a good surround version of "Also Sprach Zarathustra"?

Genesis "Wind and Wuthering", my favourite 'Blood On The Rooftops' is caressing my ears as we speak.

 

[John Svensson]

Funny, I listened to "Wind and Wuthering" last night also...... one of my favorite Genesis titles, and I've been hooked on Jeff Beck at Hollywood Bowl.

 

[kap'n krunch]

yeah, yeah , yeah..I KNOW I'm, on this Fiona Apple groove...
and this is NOT a "Surround" mix,. but , dang it sounds GREAT through the THX +Music faux Surround!...isolated elements in the rears and everything!

yes,the "Extraordinary Machine" Dual disc..
(I'm, a hypnic jerk!!!!)

Some SERIOUS DEEP BASS here...brilliant lyrics...can't get enough of "Oh well" or "Red red red"...or "Please please please" or ....well , ALL OF IT...there are NO DUDS in this album!!!!
..her other three albums are really good but this one is her definitive masterpiece...

Deodato Prelude has a neat arrangement of it

It's one of the albums on the Vocalion two-fer SACD
