Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[edisonbaggins]

Bob Marley-Legend....one of the finest discs you can buy...it was my choice as the surround album of the year:spot

Still available at a reasonable price HERE

Eh, my birthday is soon...
Done!

Eh, my birthday is soon...
Done!

You definitely won't regret this purchase! A great surround disc from start to finish, but it doesn't get any better for me than that very first song, "Is This Love".
Easily one of the greatest surround mixes I have ever heard! Hats off to Bob Clearmountain for a job well done!

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Eh, my birthday is soon...
Done!

Only this time...LISTEN TO IT RIGHT AWAY!

 

[Scott M4]

Well…here I go…into the breach to try and see if I can make it all the way through Bob Dylan's album "Love & Theft".
Wish me luck!

No luck is required. Good album. Good mix.

I would disagree about that after just listening to the whole thing, but to each his own. Some will love it, some will dislike it, and I'm definitely in that latter camp.

Yeah, I'm the former. Ahhhhh, do you like Bob? "Oh Mercy"? (sadly not available in surround) "Blood on the Tracks"?

I have all of the Bob Dylan surround SACDs except "Another Side of Bob Dylan", and I love all of them except for "Love & Theft".
I ESPECIALLY love "Blood on the Tracks". I can play that one a lot and never get tired of it. It's one of Bob's best, and it really shines in surround.

 

[Scott M4]

Absolutely.... Blood on the Tracks is a shining diamond of surround music and music in general. Love & Theft "may" grow on you over time. You know how it goes... "Mississippi" may be a gateway...

Not sure I'd bother. It's just guitar, vocal and harmonica. I don't really think it benefits from surround. Not very discrete.
I bet Blood the Tracks is awesome! My favorite, so far, is Blonde on Blonde. I think it's the latest BD album I have in surround and has the most layers to play with.

 

[rtbluray]

Not sure I'd bother. It's just guitar, vocal and harmonica. I don't really think it benefits from surround. Not very discrete.

And that's precisely why I never bought it.
I previewed the music, read the reviews, and saw the poll results.
All of that clearly turned me off from getting that SACD, especially when I knew how stellar the other ones were in comparison.

 

[Lute]

Oh, man, I hope to hear that someday. I have a horror story about Psycho Street from my Boot Camp days...

I love horror films, but I wonder if I should even ask about yours. :yikes LOL!

You've definitely got to get this one. Psycho Street is killer!

ELP - Tarkus (DVD-A)

Eh, my birthday is soon...
Done!

Make sure you get the right edition of Legend...the 30th anniversary edition is the one you want...DON'T BUY this one

No luck is required. Good album. Good mix.

I agree!!

Very good mix actually.
