Rocket Man & Mammy Blue : Hugo Montenegro (SACD)
well they didn't call ol' Hugo M "The Quadfather" for nothing.. the surround sound here is, no hype, jaw-droppingly good! :yikes
you could calibrate your system with the Rocket Man tracks alone, there's so many fabulous 360-degree pans! whee! whizz! bang! honk! woah woah woah! arty
every tune's a total toe-tapper, even a ballad like Yellow Brick Road is arranged in such a funky uptempo way it will have you up on your feet! :banana:
oh the Quad, oh the Quad, yeah the Quad is Back! fresh from the master tapes as a matter of fact!
(woah woah woah!)
incredible sounding surround music discs like this remind me why i got into this hobby of ours in the first place.. shine the light, shine the light.. Quadraphonia freedom! I love, love, love it! YES I DO!!! :wave
Incredible verse integration of "the bitch is back" and Philadelphia Freedom...it just jumped off the page at me...I'll have to listen to EJ later today...if I don't those songs will remain in my head:upthumb:upthumb
