For the "Favourite Surround Bonus Tracks Thread," I revisited the bonus tracks and a few non-bonus tracks of several titles. http://www.quadraphonicquad.com/foru...445#post144445

Though all the discs listed below are wonderous in fidelity and mixes, I was particularly struck by the Elton John stuff. Some very juicy bonus tracks, and some really great mixes. The Elton John's definitely are in need of more auditions! Yellow Brick is fantastic. Tumbleweed is even better! It's his best!

Portions of:
Perception - Doors DVD-A
Elton John SACD 5.1 (All EJ's on this format)
Tumbleweed Connection
Madman Across the Water
Honky Chateau
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road SACD 5.1
Captain Fantastic
Pet Sounds - Beach Boys DVD-A
Motown - Michael McDonald SACD 5.1
Fragile - Yes DVD-A
Brain Salad Surgery - ELP DVD-A
Tommy - Who SACD 5.1
Genesis Boxes - SACD & DVD-A
Cheap Thrills - Big Brother SACD 5.1
Nightfly Trilogy - Donald Fagen MVI DTS DVD (I also own them individually on DVD-A)

Linda, when are you going to have us over for a listening party?

[Quad Linda]

I'm afraid to. With all the music and gear, you Quadheads might never leave.

In 2ch, boo hoo!, digging the Doobies' box set.

Music is the Doctor of my soul!

Linda, when are you going to have us over for a listening party?

I'd be lucky to get that much surround heard in a month! But there's hope for me yet. This is quite a fun listen today:

Hats off to FLOYDFLUSH for this outstanding effort! Granted, it'll never be a silk purse but the energy transcends the source material at times. Nice usage of rare picture sleeves and other related artwork. Q8 #2 pitch still dodgy but what can one do? (strap Greg Lake in a chair and see how he feels about it)

EDIT: It appears all three parts ore on this DVD-A so that's a plus.

Moya Brennan (ex-Clannad) - Two Horizons SACD

Pretty decent surround mix and a nice change from your guitar orientated stuff.

We did take a brief TL trip and sampled some tracks off of these:

BS&T - Greatest Hits SQ DVD-A
CCR - Gold CD4 DVD-A
James Taylor - One Man Dog QR DVD-A
Led Zeppelin - Presence upmix H123 DVD-A
Jethro Tull - Aqualung SW BD DVD-A

Not widescreen (gray bars) but definitely improved picture quality from the laserdisc.

pulled out my old Steely dan dvd last night. I had not played it since buying my oppo and I am very pleased.
realized some of Aja is on it, in DTS. This is why we collect this stuff. I was thinking also, wouldn't this be nice on BD also.
On second thought, they will probably put it in a box set and soak us for it!
