Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[skherbeck]

Marillion "Clutching At Straws" BD-A 5.1... first impression is good... some decent surround activity with synths and background vocals in the rears... this one needs to be turned up!!! (definitely no clipping here )... I think I've heard "Warm Wet Circles" before... I like them, er, the song...

...the low end seems a little... anemic... after listening to "Electric Ladyland", though...

Opeth "Garden Of The Titans" Blu-ray 5.1...

it's more like 2.0.

Are you back in San Fran now?

If you mean The Land of Eternal Wildfires, yes, I've been back since Veteran's Day.

Steely Dan: Two Against Nature, 5.1 dts

I remember listening to "Third World Man" back in 1980. It felt like a sad song to me; not just because of the minor key, but also because it was the last song on the very last Steely Dan album... (Sigh.)

Fast-forward 20 years: But wait, there's more! And by god it was worth the wait! Wonderful songs, beautifully recorded.

Skip ahead another 5 or 10 years until I finally get to hear this surround mix: Holy hell, where has THIS been all my life! Wow.

Sitting here trying to decide whether to cough up 50 or 60 bucks for the DVD-Audio version. I hate to admit it, but this 48K dts sounds pretty damn good. But I love the music so much, I'm curious to see if it can sound noticeably better.

What do you guys & gals think? Should I go for it? (The mixes are the same, right?)

The DVD-A is the studio album. The DVD-V is a live
concert with some tunes from Two Against Nature and some from older albums.

Ohio Players Fire DTS CD 5.1 44k, just hoping we don't get any here. Love the disc, fear the fire and the smoke.

 

[Jim the Oldbie]

Oh, uh. I coulda swore I actually bought this damn thing, way back when...

Well I guess that answers my question, thanks. [red face emoji]

Home is where the heart is!!

But I know how hard it is to get back into the rhythm of every day things, after a long tour way.
At least you have some fantastic, surround releases to ease you back .

As my Hemispheres isn't even posted yet with all the talk about it I needed some Rush so I've got 2112 deluxe on, DVDV DD 5.1 not too bad!

Edit: Just finished, the credits are telling me the 5.1 is Richard Chycki, are you guys telling me he's done a worse job of Hemispheres than this? or just not as good as Farewell?

His Hemispheres mix is done about as well as his 2112 mix.
