[fizzywiggs41]

Last nite......gave this Mega Bowie Wonder a spin.


David Bowie -Rise And Fall......SACD 5.1

Lovely album to play--All The Way Thru !!

 

[fizzywiggs41]

But tonite....

I just gotta listen to RETURN OF THE GIANT HOGWEED.

Genesis - Nursery Cryme SACD/DVD.

 

[Lute]

Leopold Stokowski conducts Bach & Wagner (SACD)

Unbelievably good!!!

What more needs to be said?

Except that, Dutton Vocalion keeps hitting them out of the park...one after another!!!

 

[Spock]

Sergei Rachmaninov / Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns: Piano Concertos No. 2 (SACD)

Marion Meadows: Player's Club/HEADS~UP Label/file under JAZZ

I've been listening to SO much 70's QUAD lately that putting this incredible ultra discrete Surround Disc in my player alerted me that nothing can beat modern Digital recordings recorded as exquisitely well as Player's Club. The sound explodes out of the speakers. Every instrument is articulated, the bass is deep and the discrete use of the surrounds so cohesive that it puts you squarely in the studio with the musicians.

Definitely worth a listen. If you 'dig' a Grover Washington vibe, this one's for you. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Completely agree! There's nothing like a modern surround recording. So now I'm spinning one I just picked up at Tower Records today...

Northern German Organ Baroque Vol. 15 - Heinrich Schiedemann: Organ Works - Friedhelm Flamme (SACD)

It ain't Jimmy Smith, but I'm diggin' the BAROQUE VIBE. Chillin'...

Yup, this is great! I remember them working on another project, for release in 2018. Wonder if/when we’ll see it?

In my opinion this is the best album from ELP.


Emerson, Lake, And Palmer - Trilogy. DVDA......Sony dvda.

 

[fizzywiggs41]

Never had this disc back in the day.......surprising how good it is. Recommend "Gates Of Eden "

For the second nite in a row

Porcupine Tree: Deadwing (DTS 5.1)

I did not know a Digipack existed for this title, I have the one in the jewel case.
Is it a special edition of any kind?
Thanks!

Note: The DVD in this set is NOT the DVDA-V disc that was released on its own. This set has a DVD-V disc with the album in DTS 5.1 (no MLP 5.1)

 

[d0zer]

Chris Squire - Fish Out Of Water (DTS 24/96) I had nearly forgotten how good this is. Great music and for my taste, the surround mix is great. Espacially the more complex part in Lucky Seven and Safe (The Canon Song) sound really much clearer than on my old vinyl.

Ever since Spock got me back on track about those DVDs with surround...I've been playing some of those that I hadn't heard for years..again thanks to Spock for his logic...I'm now listening to Episode 5 of the Beatles Anthology...I wish there was a way to cut thru all the extras/talking on this set and just hear the music...hearing I Feel Fine at Shea Stadium right now...it's raining here today in Florida....a good time to stay indoors and listen to music...

Sometimes, there is a way to cut through the talking. I mean, once in a while, when you rip the audio from a disc like that...the talking is considered it's own track. If you get my drift. But, I suppose it depends title by title.

Somebody on here mentioned that exact thing...a way to just extract the music from that set of DVDs...WAY over my head...there is some impressive surround on the set...but a lot of talking over the music as well...but even for me to just listen to the music today...it's a lot of material to go thru...you are listening to a song like the Taxman...and in the middle George starts talking and you hear the song in the background...
