Depeche Mode are one of those bands I'd never listened to until I spotted them on 5.1 bought it out of curiosity (& only £5 in a record shop!) and though hey this is interesting!

 

[LizardKing]

Tears for Fears - Songs from the Big Chair - Blu-ray...

 

[Failed Muso]

Pink Floyd - The Endless River



Next up, Depeche Mode 'Live in Berlin/Delta Machine 5.1". Got to wait for it to come from Amazon France where I picked it up for under £20 new! :banana:

Reckless - Bryan Adams (HFPA).

Noticed the 5.1 was sourced from 88k material.. I wonder if Bob Clearmountain mixed this for SACD "back in the day" (say 10 yrs ago?) and it has been languishing in Universal's vaults ever since..? Hmm.. I wish he would swing by QQ sometime

Adam - Hows the mix on the Reckless?

In a word = FAB!

Lots of nice discrete stuff in the rears. Lead vocals and guitar sound the best I've ever heard them on this album, happy coincidence given its Bryan Adams! :ugham:

Bob Clearmountain really nails this 5.1 thing everytime, he's right up there with my fave remixers. A(nother) must have for us QQ guys, imho

Edit: I'll add, it's not a mega playful mix with things flying all around the room, like the new Al Kooper 5.1 of Blood, Sweat & Tears' Child Is Father To The Man.. but it is still a very nice immersive surround mix, certainly no mistaking it for an ambience or double stereo job

Is there a QQ thread/Poll for this one?

Mixed feelings after just one play.. the 5.1 has nice moments and its definitely discrete.. but it's a loud disc.. not bright or fatiguing but loud and bass-heavy.

The material is what it is.. I know some people loved it instantly and others were disappointed when it first came out. I enjoyed it for the most part but on the fence over some songs.. I'll see if it grows on me even more with repeated surround listening, as a lot of stuff has done over the years.

My biggest gripe is the BD-A disc itself, billed as 5.1 it auto-plays the Stereo upon loading! @:

..oh and the BDA navigation.. there maybe the "Pure Audio" logo on the packaging but it doesn't behave quite like a PA-BD, track 3 stutters and starts so you have to hit "Trk Skip Back".. to get it play. and the Pause button does nothing on the remote at all, so it's either play all the way through in one sitting or stop.. and nothing in between..! :ugham:

(I think I may have a solution - and no disrespect to the folks who did this BD.. why don't they just get QQ Neil to do it, or whoever did the Reckless HFPA? Seemples! )
