Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[rtbluray]

In celebration of the announcement of "Octopus" today, I'm spinning the 1976 Quad mix of "In'terview".
I know lots of people don't care for this album compared to "Free Hand", but I think this album has a better Quad mix than the former, so I find myself spinning this DVD more.

Now I'm re-spinning "The Power & The Glory", and as I'm doing so, I'm finding that I'm really enjoying the ballads on this listen like "Aspirations" and "No God's A Man".

Breezin' with George Benson on AF SACD in 5.1...

 

[Lute]

Zarathustra - Sina Vodjani (SACD)

This is a groovy album of Chillout/Lounge music with a Middle Eastern flavor. The ethnic music & instruments of Persia are livened up with the beats of modern Club music. The surround mix is immersive and has discrete elements. It also comes with a discussion of Zarathustra and Zoroastrianism (the religion of Freddie Mercury) and beautiful photos of Persia (Iran).

Here's an in depth review... http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2007/June07/Zarathustra_Vodjani.htm

Ah, time for this again, Enjoying it while it lasts. Philip Glass, Koyaanisqatsi DVD Audio

Ladysmith Black Mambazo - Long Walk To Freedom (SACD)

With all the talk about Paul Simon, I'd just had to hear this one again.

The discrete surround mix is fantastic!

I don't listen to this 5.1 sacd very often but it's still a great disc for just relaxing. The fidelity is outstanding. Amazon.com and Amazon.ca still have some reasonable used disc prices.

Lunchtime listening, complete with "thumb porn" for all you QQers obsessed with this crazy fetish

Now I'm moving on to one of my favorite Audio Fidelity Multichannel SACDs, "Child is Father to the Man" by Blood, Sweat & Tears

(no thumb porn this time though)

Continuing with Multichannel SACDs today by playing my favorite Audio Fidelity Multichannel SACD, "Homecoming" by America

 

[rtbluray]

Now I'm switching things up a little bit by playing selected highlights from "The Raven That Refused to Sing", starting with "The Holy Drinker"

DO IT! Simply one of the best 5.1 surround mixes of music from that time period. So glad it escaped the vaults almost 10 years after it was first initially mixed in surround!
