Stuff that sounds amazing with the Surround Master

Elvis 24 Karat Hits! - Here's my post for the SACD version. This sounds amazing through the SM3. RCA's great recording studios and superb production really shines. I had to listen to Little Sister a couple of times what a rockin' tune!!!

It's like hearing for the first time all over again!!!

Ral Donner/You Don't Know What You've Got - Back in the 60's when Elvis went into the army a number of Elvis sound alike artist tried to fill the void. Some were good and some not so good. Ral Donner was IMHO the best and had several quite good hits. Listen to the MP3 of the title track and see what you think. An honorable mention for Terry Stafford's version of Suspicion, which I actually like better than Elvis's version. Yes, this sounds amazing through the SM3!!!

Nilsson/A Little Touch Of Schmilsson In The Night - Japanes cardboard sleeve 40th Anniversary, RCA years paper sleeve collection. Probably the best remasters of the Nilsson catalog, unfortunately no longer available. Had to see what I'd hear with the SM3 treatment. I have to say it sounds phenomenally amazing!!! Imaging is breathtaking, I had several eargasms and yes, I'm an unapologetic music slut.

@GOS was right! The Surround Master takes the Frustration level to MANIC, and that's the BEST kind of TROUBLE!

It's A Beautiful Day/Debut & Marrying Maiden - An absolutely beautiful debut album from the 1st cut to the last. Although the 2nd album was not as strong but has several great tunes. I replaced my Matthew Katz San Francisco Sound cd with this 2for version based on QuadLindas opinion (thanx QL) that this was a better sounding version, to my ears she is right. I popped it on and gave it the SM3 treatment and oh my god, it sounded amazing!!! Damn if I didn't have another eargasm! Has anyone heard the limited edition Japanese mini lp version? This is another that deserves to be on the Atmos treatment list

It's like hearing it for the first time all over again!!!

Quicksilver Messenger Service/Debut - Since I was listening to SF bands this came to mind. I was lucky enough to see them live, John Cipollina's mesmerizing guitar playing and a great show, I was trippin'. As with anything getting the SM3 treatment it sounded amazing!!! For you listening pleasure here's one of my favorite tracks, "The Fool" so turn down the lights, turn on the lava lamps, light some incense, spark up a fat one, set your mind free and let your freak flag fly!

Pousette-Dart Band/The Best Of - Excellent sounding recording which the SM3 makes sound amazing!!! This is one of those discs I purchased for one song "Woman In My Dreams". It got quite a bit FM play back in the day but I haven't heard it on the radio for a long time. I'm posting the MP3 to turn you on to this fantastic tune or for your listening pleasure if you are already familiar with it.

Four Bitchin' Babes/Beyond Bitchin' - A friend sent me an MP3 of "Viagra In The Water", I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. I bought the cd and fell in love with the Babes, I now own every one of their releases and a large number of the solo releases. I gave this the SM3 treatment which of course sounded absolutely amazing!!! I would describe the Babes music this way, it will touch you heart & soul and tickle your funny bone. Here's a couple of examples for your listening pleasure.

1st, "Beautiful Fool" by Babe, Megon McDonough who has the voice of an angel. Her voice is so good she got the part of Patsy Cline on broadway. This song may bring a tear to your eye.

2nd, "Viagra In The Water" by Babe, Camille West the clown princess of folk. This will tickle your funny bone.

It's like hearing it for the first time all over again!!!

Happy The Man/1st & Crafty Hands - I'm sure some of you prog rock fans are familiar with this band Probably not the most well known prog band but every bit as good as the better known bands. I gave these the SM3 treatment and WOW I was surround with this great music, simply amazing!!! For your listening pleasure I'm posting one of favorite tunes (of course) "Wind Up Doll Day Wind" from Crafty Hands for those who are familiar but mostly for those unfamiliar with Happy The Man.

It's like hearing it for the first time all over again!!!

Kit Watkins & Coco Roussel/In Time - Former keyboard player from Camel and Happy The Man. This collaboration with Coco Roussel beautifully recorded and made for the SM3. Borrowing from Forrest Gump, "they together like peas and carrots amazing breathtaking results manifesting many eargasms! This is some of my favorite coast driving music. I tried to pick out just one track to share but couldn't so here's two. "Do You Mind?" & "In Time". Here's a couple of examples for your listening pleasure. For those who are familiar but mostly for those unfamiliar with the this music.

"Do You Mind?"

"In Time"

Van Morrison/Astral Weeks - On one of my many trips to the records this album was prominently displayed. Being a big fan of Them and Van the man it was under my are as I left the store (I did pay for it). Immediately after making it home I popped it on the turntable, it was exactly what I expected. However over time it grew on me and is my favorite album by the man even over Moondance. Giving it the SM3 treatment it sounded beautifully amazing!!! This certainly deserver the Blu-ray Atmos treatment. In the words of James Brown, "Please! Please! Please!" Mr. Wilson, do your MAGIC!!!

It's like hearing it for the first time all over again!!!

Hey Clement, got a request; would you happen to have a copy of the album discussed below to try through your SM? I’m trying to expand my musical horizons, but LPs of this are needing too many crisp ones.
