Its not bad - I'm not a big fan of Brian Wilson so I'd passed on it before, and just finally got around to getting it. The mix is good. Pls it came in a large (small hinge) DVD-A case - which I know you like...

Won Steely Dan's Two Against Nature last night on Ebay. I'm excited as I missed a similar buy it now auction a couple of weeks ago that set me off on a DVD-audio buying spree. I also just got two Flaming Lips DVD-As this week, At War with the Mystics and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.

Nice score- two of my favorites, TAN and YBtPR. Yoshimi is the most outrageous surround mix I have. TAN is the Dan album I listen to most. Everything Must Go is pretty awesome as well.

Just landed...





Currently listening to Elton and it's freakin' awesome!

I've just given EJ / Elton John a spin. Haven't listened to any EJ albums for awhile....this is the way surround mixes should be done, especially mix of vocals.... vocals should always be up front in the mix !

I don't think you'll be disappointed with the Marvin either!

Listen out for the gorgeous (and inventive - and rather ballsy, imho!) placement of Marvin's vocals in the front in "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" while Tammi Terrell is in the rears.. wowzers! It so beautifully showcases the interplay between the two of them and for me defines the call and response arrangement of this, as a duet, as opposed to the now more recognised Diana Ross rendition - just stunning.

The only thing you'll be wishing for is more.. the disc is too short..!!

If only UMG had got around to 5.1's of "What's Going On", "I Want You", "Here, My Dear" and "In Our Lifetime?".

Sigh!

Oh and one other thing worth mentioning, this is one of those discs where you can shut off all the channels except the centre and get just Marvin's heavenly vocals (there's a set of Motown DVDs, one specifically of Marvin and a number of others including various artists compilations that are mixed the same way, which are well worth checking out too.)

Oh and check out the (gimmicky? Yes! fun? Yes! Fabulous? OH YES!) circular pan of the tambourine at the start of Grapevine..! Sacrilege? Probably! Awesome? Most definitely!

Why this one doesn't get more fuss made over its surround mix escapes me!

NOSOUND -Aferthoughts DVD-A....

EDIT..my wife just got home and gave me a package...

STICKMEN- DEEP... DOUBLE SHOT!!!!

...also arriving today (ie as well as the awesome Stickmen release) was my copy of Tomita's Clair de Lune that I got horribly stung by ParcelForce (aka complete b*st*rds) for. I don't mind paying the duty but their "transaction charge" is criminal. Hope it's worth it.
