Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[César]

Haha yeah, couldn't resist! I just posted it at Y. I'll be sharing an mkv version with the video privately since it's an official release now. There are a number of these old films with the incomplete film crew mixes like this that can be put back together using audience sources to get closer to what they were really supposed to sound like originally.

Thanks, I'll get the audio tonight from Y!. Looking forward to the movie privately too.
You seem to be at a creative frenzy lately, are you planning further revisions of Nick's shows? I played again the one from the last night and I wonder how it could be much improved

Jacintha Is Her Name - now available in Surround Sound DSD 256.
Great album. Highly recommended.

Dave Glackin from Positive Feedback says "This album is a sheer joy to listen to from the first note. This may be Jacintha's best album yet. The silky, smooth, and sensuous voice of Jacintha is reproduced with an utterly natural quality, revealing every nuance of her phenomenal intonation, phrasing, breath control, and vocal modulation. On several cuts, she is paired with saxophonist Harry Allen, who, along with Sonny Rollins, is one of my favorite living sax players. Jacintha's voice floats between the speakers in a truly palpable fashion, and if there is a microphone signature imparted to her voice, I sure can't detect it. The soundstage is wide open, and the instrumentalists are right there, with a relaxed sense of ease that imparts a distinctively life-like quality to the recording.

Jacintha injects a world of emotion into Willow Weep For Me, and the accompanying tenor sax work of Harry Allen is second to none. Jacintha's sultry voice heats up Something Cool, a fifties staple that is given a new interpretation here. Don't Smoke In Bed is suitably wistful. The classic Cry Me A River is sung with conviction and feeling. And so on.

My hat's off to Ying Tan, Joe Harley, Harry Allen, Bill Cunliffe, Bernie Grundman, and everyone else who made this recording a reality. It's a knockout, and it deserves my highest recommendation. Please support Ying Tan and colleagues and buy it. They merit your support. It doesn't get much better than this."

The Alia Vox label has consistently provided excellent surround mixes on their SACDs. Naturally immersive! I love this one of medieval dances.

Steve Wilsons To The Bone again. and again...and again, and, well I don't know how many times it played today. It was easier to walk by and hit the remote and start it over.
Was working on wife's pc, blowing the dust out of the radiators and fans, adding HDD, dealing with a worky/no worky 4 way SATA power cable that had me pulling my imaginary hair out. At least this isn't one of mine.
