Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[madship]

 

[humprof]

Cymande, Cymande (1972) and Second Time Round (1973), in conversions from Q8. UK roots-reggae-flavored rock and soul band with some bluesy, Hendrix-y guitar. The second record has more jazz-funk-world influences. Black Britain's answer to Santana? Not exactly my thing, but I bet it worked really well at early 70s blues dances. Great quad mixes.

Cymande are back with their first wide-release album in over four decades. Samples heard on a feature story on this morning's Weekend Edition sound great:

Hmm. I have the quad conversions. Been a long time since I listened, time to give them a spin.
The "problem" with having a ton of surround I reckon. lol.

I don’t know. How about, missing out on the SDE release because I ordered the box set which never arrived?

Blu Ray ripped-Atmos MKV file-24bit/48Khz-DR's are 13's, 14's, 15's, 16.
Ripping note at least for me: This is a gapless recording, so I have to listen to the entire MKV root file via my JRiver, if in chapters, then I get those tiny skips between tracks. Good news is the video menu has the track names so I don't get lost. Not looking for advice. I like my way.

Should not be a quick listen, sit and get comfortable and Gene, I promise you will love it. Very cool artwork on screen with names of art and artist names.
