Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[marpow]

After nearly burning a whole in Floyd Cramer , I'm back to Hugo. Awesome Quad mix!

Thanks Brett, after your endorsement of Floyd Cramer I ordered along with the Hugo disc. That will be 4 for me from Dutton, the other two are Tower Of Power and Euphrates.

I thought I was bad...you are a spontaneous machine with purchases.

Used Audacity to cut the talking between songs - now it's a really great listen:

Pixies-Doolittle. Bluray

I'm finding I play this regularly now, at least once a week.
Favourite tune- "HEY" but I like all 5 of the last tunes on this disc amongst others . Decent surround mix as well !

Genesis-Abacab. cd/dvd dts


I love Phil Collins solo tune "Man On The Corner" on this album. Had it buzzing through my head all weekend.

You should indeed Gos, old bean. Phil puts a lot of emotional vocal in that one song, btw. There is a video as well.

Dutton definitely deserves a big hand and our support with these Quad SACDs.:upthumb I hope you'll be able to get into the Floyd Cramer and Hugo discs. They ARE pretty mellow. And I know there's a limit to how much mellow you can take. LOL. But, mellow as they are... I like the heart & soul of Cramer's country style. And the Hugo disc makes especially good use of 4.0 and is quite active...even psychedelic. So, although this isn't music I normally gravitate towards, I think they're keepers. As Ralph mentioned, let's hope Dutton diversifies and releases some 70s Rock as well.

Perhaps some Mathis and Streisand QUADs [pretty please]. Streisand's exquisite French Album conducted by Michel Legrand himself would be a delightful stereo SACD as well as her Broadway Album (again, stereo). Mathis' Greatest Hits with his classic tunes like Chances Are, The Twelfth of Never, Wild is the Wind et alia would be a top seller even as Stereo SACDs.

As much as I like the HUGO Spaghetti Trilogy Quadness*, I still prefer the Ennio Morricone scored originals which are still, IMO, unparalleled. http://hraudio.net/showmusic.php?title=3488 and http://hraudio.net/showmusic.php?title=12082#tracks

[*too much MARINARA SAUCE?....I prefer mine al dente]

Last night I listened to Andre Previn's The Planets, Ballet from the Perfect Fool and Egdon Heath with the LSO and the delightful and hauntingly gorgeous Ambrosian Singers [EMI/MLP DVD~A]....the sonics are to die for and Eric Clapton's REPTILE (Reprise/MLP DVD~A 5.1]

I was a big country fan, 1979-1981, that's all I listened to while snorting Coke and bar drinking, Cowboys are crazy motherf .........I am looking more forward to the Hugo disc. Do you have the SACD Junior Brown, Down Home Chrome ? Pretty cool, look it up on HRAudio.net.

Whodathought that Markie P was a coke~snortin', liquored up Rhinestone Cowboy? Hee Haw! Have to check my Telarc collection to see if I have that disc.

BTW, Mark, do you have this one [as discussed in another thread]? I think you'd DIG IT! http://hraudio.net/showmusic.php?title=3208#tracks

I thought I'd dig this one out of the pile since I haven't listened in a while:

Glad to hear you're a Country fan. My mom has long been a country music lover, so I grew up listening to this lovely music...and still get a hankering for it even now. Junior Brown is a great disc. It has a fun surround mix, too. Another good country SACD is Dolly Parton - Halos & Horns. http://www.sa-cd.net/showtitle/1212. It's 2-channel with very good fidelity. According to Soundboy in the SA-CD.net discussion, Robert Plant even approves of Dolly's Stairway to Heaven.

Bela Fleck - The Bluegrass Sessions DVD-A is good. https://www.amazon.com/Bela-Fleck-B...&refinements=p_n_binding_browse-bin:387646011

Silverline's Inside the Music - Classic Country DVD-A is one of the best in that series. https://www.amazon.com/Inside-Music...&refinements=p_n_binding_browse-bin:387646011

Musically speaking IMHO, I prefer Floyd Cramer's Super Country Hits to Hugo. The first half of the Hugo disc is fun, especially with the surround mix. But... while Hugo's versions are not bad or anything, Morricone's Spaghetti Western music is better represented in Morricone's own performances with Yo-Yo Ma. http://www.sa-cd.net/showtitle/3488

I would love Dutton to release more 1970s Country Western in Quad on SACD.
Y'all come back now, ya hear!? Pretty please with sugar on top!

I guess we should count ourselves lucky indeed when it comes to BEATLES in surround. A major icon of rock, probably the biggest ROCK ICON that ever there was.
And The Beatles unlike so many other large icons of rock (Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, as prime examples), have given their fans SURROUND MUSIC STUDIO RECORDINGS of some of their best tunes !!
They don't rely on LIVE SURROUND ONLY recordings like many other iconic rock stars!!!!

Thank goodness for Beatles-Anthology, Beatles-Love, Beatles-Yellow Submarine, Beatles-Help, and even some of the Magical Mystery Tour-Movie all provided in surround sound.
And solo's from Ringo, Paul, and John in quad and 5.1.


At least they haven't ignored us quadraphiles and surround fans.




(Hoping one day soon......Giles Martin follows through with his wish to mix THE WHITE ALBUM in surround. Wouldn't tht be a major pick me up kinda surprise ?)




-Fizzling, my thoughts and dreams.

I purchased the YoYo Ma/Morricone disc you recommended, also the Willy Porter. The classic country with Ol Merle looks good to.
