CARLY SIMON - NO SECRETS
*Elektra/Rhino Records – BA2 75049, Blu-ray Audio, Quadraphonic, 5.1, Dolby Atmos
- Quad mix by Bill Schnee, Atmos & 5.1 mix by Frank Filipetti
* Very different mixes on all of the Multichannel choices; I'm not sure which ones I prefer most, but also the sound is different on all these (age.)
Using the song "Waited So Long" as a comparison - The Atmos (7.1 floor) sounds kind of like a center front heavy -3 legged stool mix to me.
The Quad has Lowell's slide guitar bouncing all around the speakers (sort of a little too gimmicky for me), and sounds a little soft mastered.
The 5.1 is more under control, more punchy, and balanced sounding as to the mix. I also have the 2001 DVD-A, but haven't heard it in years; which I believe Bill Schnee did the 5.1 mix on that one, and wondering how it compares to Filipetti's mix?

So far leaning towards 5.1, then Quad and finally Atmos; in that order (on my all floor 5.1 system.)

The song "Waited So Long" has some great musicians backing her up with:

Backing Vocals – James Taylor
Drums – Jim Keltner
Organ – Bill Payne (Little Feat)
Piano – Nicky Hopkins
Slide Guitar – Lowell George (Little Feat)

Certainly not a go to type music for me, but I have to admit from a Quadrophonic point of you this is very good.
The good news is that I never got this from Audio Fidelity.

Just finished Santana's Borboletta. That was great, like a mini spiritual journey. Had my eyes closed the whole time. Having an excellent listening session today with just listening to music in mind.
