Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Scott65]

And now:

War of the Gods
Interesting to hear R&B go more thematic and long form at this time.

Just playing those now.

Monster Music time
Just arrived from Japan, bought off Amazon UK.

The cool and relaxing George Benson
Songs and Stories.

Yes its dts but the mix and fidelity, as ever, on these monster releases, is sublime.

Jean-Michel Jarre ‘Aero’ in DTS.

One of the most immersive discreet and ear-bending discs I have. Love it.

Thanks for the heads up/reminder. (I must make a list of my go to discs one day )
Now playing it

As you have said
It really is a speaker extravaganza.

Quite a tour de force in the use of surrounds.

Lipservice : Gotthard

(48k DTS 5.1 DualDisc for the technobods and the curious)

wooooooh-yeaaaahhh!! wanna rock this feelin' off the ground!!

right from the outset you've got crunching guitars and huge organ swells wooshing up in the Rears! ooh YES MISSUS YESSSS!!!! ..cor lummee, check out those duelling guitars flicking back and forth in each Rear channel at the end of the opener, its Quad-like! nifty little vocal bits pop up all over the place.. the mix fits the bill to a tee, its tasteful and restrained when it needs to be and balls to the wall kitchen sink the rest of the time!

in short, Ronald Prent does it again. for me he's right up there with the Wilson's, the Scheiner's, the Clearmountain's.. the man "gets" surround for music.

LET'S RAWWWWWWWWK....!!!!!

And another one hits my wish list!!

doof doof doof, another one bites the dust (and another one hits the list!)

wrapped round me lugholes now; amazingly, a Linn MultiCh SACD that's actually doing super surroundy stuff!

Poulenc : Concerto For Organ

the orchestra's got it all going on upfront and her organs firmly in the Rear! track 4 ('Modéré', from Pierre Petit's "Concertino for Organ, Strings and Percussion") had me grinning from ear to ear! if there were more Classical surround mixed like this i'd get it sooner than you could say Shutthefrontdoor... Shushthehellup.. iShotthesherriff.. oh.. Shostakovich!!

Tale Spinnin' : Weather Report

ahhh... with DVs SACD remastering its like slipping into a comfy pair of old wooly slippers, that have been thru the washing machine and magically come out spiffo new leather loafers!

Rock That Flute

Or Eagle Recorder!!

Amazon UK link:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Flute-Laur...swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1546448737&sr=8-1

Not a massive amount going on in surround but if you like the sound of an Eagle Recorder and orchestra (well strings mainly)
Then this is not bad.

Course I got it when Amazon had it for no money.

Laura Nyro
Eli and the Thirteenth Confession

Great surround treatment and a beautiful voice.

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Unreal mix. Love the incredible delineation between Bolin’s guitar and Hammer’s keys. Much less Sklar’s beautiful bass wonderfully reproduced. I haven’t even mentioned Cobham! Only other jazz fusion quad SACD I’ve heard that equally excited me is Beck’s Blow by Blow from CdJapan.

I've got the DVD-A of this but unfortunately let the SACD slip by me, now it's mucho $$$$$; just goes to show that quality still matters in this age of "Digital Gold"

 

[The56Kid]

I love waking up in the States and checking to see what our friends across the pond have been listening to while I’ve been sleeping!

Immergent Records

There is reasonable surround as well.
And it sure rocks.

Gets me in the mood, before I shout at the TV, whilst watching Manu away at Newcastle this evening.

Allison Moorer: Show (SACD 5.1)

 

[edisonbaggins]

King Crimson - In the Wake of Posiden
One of my least favorite KC albums!
We'll see if a good surround mix helps...
DVD-A MLP Lossless 5.1

 

[skherbeck]

A bit of a "Deliverance" vibe going on when you look closely at the cover, lol... as my wife said, "not a very pretty bunch"... but man, can they play! I love this disc. Discrete down home heaven.

 

[4-earredwonder]

One of the VERY few RCA/ARISTA MLP DVD~A 5.1 discs. Stunning and the mix is discrete! https://www.amazon.com/Shaman-Santa...47T27M08MNX&psc=1&refRID=VFDPS296P47T27M08MNX
