It’s been a musical two-channel filled day for me. I started out listening to the new album Free by Iggy Pop. It’s very good. After that, I played the only other album I’ve heard and once owned by him called Brick By Brick. Love that album too!
After Iggy, I discovered a new artist (Björk). Well, not new, but new to me. I started out with her previous band, The Sugarcubes. I played all three of the albums. The only song I remember hearing is Hit. Since then, I’ve been listening to her solo work. Currently listening to Vespertine. Maybe, not everyone’s cup-a-tea, but I love her voice. I hear there are several Björk surround mixes. I may need to search those out if they are reasonably priced.

There are 7 Bjork surround Dual Discs (DVD/CD), or you can get them all in this box:

Thanks! That looks interesting but I’d prefer a US vendor. Plus, not sure if I need all contained within. I just read that they were all re-released individually.

If I were to choose only one album by ELO to be mixed in Surround, it would be this one. Although, at this point, I’d take any of them.
Concerto For A Rainy Day.
Or, in my case, hot day.

An antidote to Mortal Engines 3D, Perp? The 'thinking man's' ELO?

Looks like a good line up of shows on AXS TV tonight, with for one: Paul Shaffer Plus One with Joe Walsh. And next week on Paul's show 09/22 is Graham Nash.

Actually, this is about surround...but too lazy to start a new thread. I don't really care for classical type music, but I saw this download on Acoustic Sounds and the 5.1 caught my eye. Don't see 5.1 offered as downloads too often on that site.
This is why I hate padded mailers, a crack is one thing but this is different. I also don't have the time or desire to waste my time with parley with the sender in order to make this right. Please use boxes with padding folks 
Isn't this one an uber expensive bastard now?

Hey I know I've seen discussion around here and there about Mannheim Steamroller, mostly their Christmas stuff. But they just released their first album of non-Christmas new material since 2000's Fresh Aire 8. Has anyone seen and/or heard this?
Exotic Spaces
I've been listening for a while, and am admittedly a big fan of Chip and his work in general. This album is significant for many reasons, the biggest to me is that finally (FINALLY) after 29 years, Chip has (except for one song) abandoned the god-awful sounding drum pad toms. The horrible sounding fake toms have been on every Mannheim release since 1990's Fresh Aire 7. To me the worst part is that Chip is not just the composer, producer and conductor, he's the drummer too! I've never understood why or how he could think those things sound remotely good.
Now I am not convinced that he's using a real drum kit again, I doubt he will ever do that. But whatever electronic drum sounds he's using on Exotic Spaces are 100x better sounding than before. As a drummer geek, I am so happy about this. I no longer have to cringe every time an upbeat song comes on!
Drums aside, this is a really good album, if you like the latter era Mannheim sound. Each song is from a different "Exotic" space; Jungles of Colombia, Gardens of Babylon, the ocean, space, inside a mind of depression... it's really quite cool, eclectic and fun. Honestly, this concept works well and this album might as well be Fresh Aire 9. Give it a listen if you like them!

It's up there in price alright. Still under my maximum $100 limit though!
You go Beefalo, no need to ask you- "where's the Beef?"
