A little light folk music in BD Pure Audio at 5.1 DTS-HD MA 24bit / 192khz with dinner.
Will also play as 9.1 Auro-3D 24bit / 96khz.

An excellent choice for dinner ambience, Pupster. Goes with either fish or fowl .... or I suppose veggie burgers. Am still awaiting my long overdue Sono Luminus BD~A "RECURRENCE" from Amazon. Apparently, there's been a hold up.

Old quad mix, available on QS LP and Q8. Several Four Tops albums were released in quad, including Keeper Of The Castle and The Meeting Of The Minds.

I could handle some Four Tops...id rather have ex: Temptations...Three Dog Night...Grass Roots...AEROSMITH

Minnie Riperton - Adventures In Paradise (SQ LP)



I picked this up at a record fair last weekend. The vinyl sounds suprisingly good and as you'd expect from a CBS title, it's extremely discrete. The quad mix is yet another of the "drums in the right rear, bass in the left rear" variety, but every song is chock full of fun surround effects: "Feelin' That You're Feelin's Right" has the sax solos blasting from the left rear channel, the intro of "When It Comes Down To It" does that nifty trick of adding each channel one at at time (first drums from right rear, then bass left rear, electric guitar front right, and finally piano front left), and "Love And Its Glory" has the harp swirling back-and-forth around the room.

One thing that does strike me as a bit of a missed opportunity with the quad mix is that all the vocals are through the front center. There's some really cool harmonies and multi-tracked vocal elements (particularly on the track "Inside My Love") that would've sounded awesome spread out to the rears or around the room.

"Feelin' That Your Feelin's Right":


"When It Comes Down To It":


I'd definitely welcome a D-V two-fer of this title and Perfect Angel. Both SQ's are somewhat hard-to-find, while the Q8's are practically unobtainable.

A record fair, how big are we talking here? Sounds fun!

Small warehouse-type space, 10-15 vendors. Most of them are even nice enough to separate out the quad stuff
