Stuff that sounds amazing with the Surround Master

[Scott65]

If only that little stretch of water wasn't in the way Gos, you could have my Yamaha RX-V2500 for a few dollars more.
As new...used in the lounge to power the stereo stuff in there. Did I say stereo.....not me Guv!!

This one:

I have a spare RX V2600 - not for sale though.

First time I heard Mike Stern play was on this album from 1981- and he goes off
FAT TIME
I swear at one point the hairs on my arm swayed back and forth like the trees at Tunguska!
Stern's guitar mostly in the rears and Miles up front with Marcus Miller slappin' bass.

Must be Jazz night-
It had been a while since I've listened to this one, but it shocked me how great it decoded to surround.
Produced by Bobby Colomby; yes that Bobby Colomby!
Musicians like Don Alias on percussion; Herbie Hancock-keyboards; Wayne Shorter- Sax; Brecker Brothers, David Sanborn... well you get the idea!

It has one of my all time favorite tunes on it called "Okonkole Y Trompa"-
Close your eyes and you're transported to an African savanna riding along side Gazelles as they bob, weave and jump in the air ...

Excellent! Maybe fifteen years ago when I was taking jazz guitar lessons my teacher taught me a chord/melody arrangement of “Three Views Of A Secret.”

Looks good Ralphie, if only Tower ECM had released this; those SACDs have gorgeous mastering.

The only problem with the TOWER ECM SACDs is they're only available by proxy at a premium price from CDJapan or $60 from Acoustic Sounds. I'm sure our friend Brett [lute] who lives in Tokyo can probably buy them for half that price or less on sale.

Maybe I need to start a new thread " stuff that might sound great on the SM"

Well you guys might know I am an old swamp rocker (plus blues, rock a billy and roots), yep I am a simple fellow. My number 1 favorite group of all time is CCR and to me for 50 years the holly grail has been the elusive live CCR at Woodstock. Well its been tracked down as a good quality recording and just released!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am now the proud owner of this CD and with it comes the keys to the universe and ultimate power and knowledge. CCR was the first group to sign for Woodstock but the drugged out hippy organizers really stuffed it up. They were scheduled to come on at 9.30 pm but the Grateful Dead came on and stuffed around in a dis-coordinated jumble until 2.30 at night, so CCR had to come on when the audience was sleeping. Fogerty and band did a good performance but Fogerty was so pissed off that he did not want to release it to the movie. Only recently his son convinced him it was actually a good performance and it should be released to the public:

Some time tomorrow, I am going to put it on my SM V1 (I have not got a V2 yet!) and give this a run on my 4 Nakamichi Dragon electrostatics................YEE HOO!!!

I AM SO EXCITED, OFF TO THE SWAMP FOR ME

I’m excited for you Chucky; I’ve often wished you’d throw some of your own personal favs on here
Really, who’d know better about this subject than you!
I’ll be keeping your swampiness in mind as I go through my collection

 

[beerking]

Got merrily drunk listening to Creedance all them years ago on a local fav at the time called 'WATNEYS Party 7'

Damn those are some great tunes! And to think they did all those classics as early as '69. Looking forward to a full report. You're goona enjoy this weekend.

I saw CCR only once live. Back in '69 or more likely '70. One night was Steve Miller Blues Band & next night CCR. Playing for free at University of Missouri, Kansas City. Now you'ver got me lusting after the new CD.

There is this SACD multi out:

But it ain't that good on the multi side but with the SM2 it might come alive...Did I say Might!!?

Seems like a tread with a new moon needs to be started!!

His Premonition DVD is brilliant

There you go Chucky
We all got more in common than we ever knew!!

My number 1 favorite group of all time is CCR and to me for 50 years the holly grail has been the elusive live CCR at Woodstock.

Even if CCR just did covers they'd still be great! Possibly one of the best cover bands ever for this style of music...and on top of that an A-list act with their own material. My mother loved these guys. Time to track down a few more of those SACD's.
