Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[fredblue]

Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire de Melody Nelson (BD-A)
Turns out that the sound levels are pretty uneven here - main vocal in the centre, some orchestra or choir parts in the rears... also, not the best sonic quality. But it still does it for me as a whole, easily. Really glad to own this - it's an album, y'know?

Je t'aime.. Je t'aime!
(Oh hang on, that's the wrong record! :ugham:

Indochine - Le Birthday Album (SACD)
Disc 1. Getting better and better with each spin. Depeche from an alternative reality. Shiny.

What's on disc 2, Marek? I don't remember making it that far!

David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name (DVD-A)
Oh my... A beauty. Utter bliss. 10, 10, 10!

 

[Clint Eastwood]

ROD STEWART - It Had To Be You (DVD-AUDIO)


This sounds quite nice....

So.....you pulled the trigger on that one...NICE

If they could only remember the LFE.. (isn't this one of those 5.0 discs?)

Yep, but to my ears the low end is still stellar on this one.

i need to revisit this one (if only I could remember where I put it? probably where I left it! )

Love me some Donna Summer:spot

Same! Love La Donna Gaines! So sad she is no longer with us

Sad too surround has not been kind to her.. though "I Feel Love" pans out nicely in PLII (as does quite a lot of her Casablanca classic output imho).... it also pans out nicely on the dance floor! DOOF DOOF AROOGA DOOF! :banana:

And now

I've never had a sub... But just as rtbluray said, the lows are nothing short here. Also, my current set-up utilizes 5 tower speakers plus two shelf speakers on the sides, so that could compensate this a bit, too.

This set seems to be a handful, right? I really do want to give the 2nd part a spin, but it won't be easy to locate the disc, as I remember I've sent my spare copy off to Russia, mistakenly consisting of two identical discs... Got that straight eventually and the disc came back alright as well - damn, the sound quality (production?) elevated towards the end of disc 1 so remarkably!

Sheryl Crow - The Globe Sessions (DVD-A)
Good disc to kick off your day with! Fave tracks: My Favorite Mistake, There Goes the Neighborhood (the 5.1 highlight), Mississippi, Crash and Burn

 

[haikubass]

Britney Spears - In the Zone (DVD-A)
Refreshing for what it is, spectacularly multichannel. Would it help our niché if re-released (I'm looking your way, HFPA!)? Also: Beyoncé, please take note.

Really love that one. Very solid low end, nice surround. Plus it's the last MK album that I really liked.
