Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[beerking]

eek! i'd clearly forgotten all about this one being in surround as when your post came up i thought "how da fook did i miss out on this!?" then i checked it out on iTunes and remembered why i didn't get it, despite it being a Ronald Prent mix! how much actual music is there going on?

Well I hope the mix is okay as I have just ordered it from a seller on Discogs...after putting my faith in Jan...no pressure!!

Going to be surrounded by footy fans this evening chanting their merry ditty's. Watching Oxford Utd v Burton Albion with my, equally footy mad daughter. All part of her 30th birthday celebrations. We know how to live it up!!

A lot, but a lot of speech too, mostly intros.

How is the mix?

I was a bit underwhelmed to be honest since all Prent mixes I know are great but on this one the rears are too low in the mix for my liking but it is discrete (this all after one listen). I only listened to the 5.1 mix no auro capability here.

I have my rears turned up so hopefully that will cure the mix issue...only 500 copies made as well.

LOVE, LOVE this album, Mike. Cute story. A gorgeous woman I dated years ago went to an all girls Catholic high school and she choreographed a dance number utilizing "the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" with her rather big busted schoolmates making sure the biggest busted one was performing directly in front of the nuns ..... well, since they were wearing skimpy danskins, one of her boobies popped out, the Sisters of Charity went ballistic and the production was halted.

An absolutely gorgeous album. Everything about it is superb. Even the immersive surround mix has discrete elements. Very happy to hear from you about this one. It really seemed to slip under people's radar. I guess 400-year-old music is too out there for most people. It's a shame, though. As we can clearly see from Audite's Polychoral Splendour SACD, composers & musicians have been experimenting with surround sound through the spatial arrangement of musicians for centuries.

The first of the trilogy is the last to arrive:

very cool to watch the quartet play the pieces, but it's still all about the music, which is, again, magnificent

A classic piece of drum kickin' & riffin'

R.E.M. surround complete! I finally found the last one:

typing to the "electron blue" beat of

Around the Sun

Indeed! Two of the greatest live shows I ever saw were Clash shows! I had no idea about the 5..1! How are they? Only available overseas (from the US, that is! Such an ethnocentrist!), so I thought I'd ask about the mix before I spend 10 euros on shipping! Peace

The "Essential Clash " is pretty good , not great, but not bad either.

Musically--------YOU JUST CAN'T GO WRONG.


Rude Boy .... I don't have (used to have the vhs hifi) so on that dvd I can't advise.

 

[fizzywiggs41]

And the sex pistols , in this un.




Not very good 5.1......but what the hell--

It does have "Friggin In The Riggin " *****
