Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[edisonbaggins]

Best of the Doors

 

[edisonbaggins]

Beethoven 5th & 8th - Royal Flemish Philharmonic
Big Brother & the Holding Company - Cheap Thrills

 

[Lute]

László Süle - Silver Solitude (SACD)

This one is a bit abstract at times. The use of a string quartet gives this music an edgy, avant-garde feel... nonetheless it's a fascinating fusion of Jazz and Classical forms. The 5.1 recording is ambient but nicely done.

Here's a sample of one of the more jazzier numbers... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lyUZQnXCPAA

 

[kap'n krunch]

AIX's Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony...the STAGE mix in DTS

Currently listening to Alison Krauss & Union Station SACD New Favorite as my weekend is just beginning...

 

[edisonbaggins]

Guero...

 

[Cibola]

Guero...

I really like that one though I do skip (only) E-Pro due to the harshness. I think its otherwise a solid effort as far as packaging, sound quality and surround mix. And I clearly like the content.

 

[popshop]

Opeth - Pale Communion (incredible)
Steven Wilson - Hand Cannot Erase
Elton John - Grey Seal (over and over again!)
Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots

E-Pro wakes up the sub and gives me time to go pee and grab a brew!

 

[Cibola]

Funny, I also have a sub ritual mostly involving the wait for the green light, just don't want to miss anything.

Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (SACD)

Richard Burton in surround sound. What more could you ask for! :beer2

This is an amazing surround experience!

[Cibola]

I've been thinking about an excuse to spin that one again.

Listening more than watching....Joe Satriani Live In Montreal - Dolby TrueHD 7.1

The story on this is poorly thought out(how do ETS with no fingers operate machinery) but the sound is INCREDIBLE!

Now if only all Live Blu Rays could be mixed like this......... One can dream.

They reverse the polarity of the neutron flow!

Nah.. No-one would ever belieeeeeeve that

If I play something mixed in 7.1 with a 5.1 speaker set up, do I lose the info from the 2 extra channels or does it get merged into 2 other channels? Im thinking of buying this but was just wondering...

If a species evolves to be intelligent enough to understand science and mathematics, they would not have tentacles and resemble a bear. There would also be no need to come into Earth's atmosphere. The story really aggravates me.

It should just merge for you. Although this Satriani disc also has a 5.1 option so you're golden I have over 150 blu ray concerts and the only 2 with 7.1 are this one and Chris Botti in Boston.

For those who remember ALF.....

....there was an episode where Alf needed to make a phone call but didn't know the # so he called 411. He told the operator who he needed the listing for.

Operator: "Just a friendly reminder sir, that number is in the phone directory."
Alf (angrily): "Hey lady, I've got no thumbs!"
Operator (apologetically): "Oh, I'm sorry sir."
Alf (sarcastically): "Yeah, I'm sorry too."
