HiRez Poll Lightfoot, Gordon - SUNDOWN [Blu-Ray Audio]

[Quadex]

“Seven Island Suite”. Such a quad gem!

This song gives me chills every time I’ve heard it over many decades. Such a GL masterpiece!! Nothing like it!!

I rated Sundown an 8. The quad mix is excellent from me. Its just not a disc I will listen to over and over. If I could rate it 8.5 I would. The quad mix here is excellent, but I'm not in love with all of the material.

Sundown may be the best of Gord's eight Reprise records. Cold on the Shoulder and If You Could Read My Mind get high votes from a lot of Lightfoot fans, but I'm partial to this one. Thanks to the talents of producer Lenny Waronker and engineer Lee Herschberg, along with sumptuous string arrangements from Nick DeCaro, the production and sound are pristine.

Quad elevates the album to another level. It's pleasantly discrete while bringing the instruments into clearer definition -- horns, strings, steel string guitar, and of course Lightfoot's sonorous voice all benefit greatly from the surround mix.

Well, nothing in this world is perfect, but Sundown deserves a 10 nevertheless.

An 8.5 for an album you don’t even like is a more remarkable score than the boat load of 10s from those of us who have always loved it. Just goes to show how excellent the sound quality and mix actually is.

(P.S. You might want to join us on the QQ NFL Tailgate thread since you are a Niners fan.)

Yeah, Gordon made a ton of great music that’s not on this album, but that doesn’t detract from it one bit. Without a doubt, it’s my favorite quadio so far.

Sorry I had to work during the game yesterday. Casinos never close. The 8.5 was more for the excellent sound quality, not the mix.
