Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Lute]

David Gilmour - Rattle That Lock (BD-A)

After reading the disappointing news about the upcoming Pink Floyd release, it's great to have this one to fall back on.

MANY THANKS to Gilmour & Jackson for the music and caring about surround!!!

Secret Treaties - Blue Oyster Cult (Audio Fidelity Hybrid MultiChannel SACD)

:banana:

:woopie



:wave

:nuke

If I have one tiny niggle about this wonderful SACD.. (and this is only an issue since I now put everything on the computer for convenience's sake!) is that the indexing is slightly off in places.. or rather, with relation to where I would have put it in the segues between tracks.. and is especially noticeable when you play one track singly or shuffle up tracks rather than the whole album in one fell swoop in order.. the worst offender for me in this regard is where Harvester Of Eyes goes into Flaming Telepaths (track 6 into 7) where at the end of Trk 6 you've got the little music box or whatever it is tinkling away and it's just a very very minor thing but I would have cut it off abruptly so you go straight in on the opening note of Flaming Telepaths.. but it's small, it's a personal thing. It's a small personal thing. Ahem.

I've checked it out twice already and almost put it on again just now instead of 'Raven'. I like it quite a bit. :upthumb

It's different than Takamatsu?

No, "Radical Action…" is Takamatsu.
It's just that when the Takamatsu thread was started, the release did not yet have a name, but it's actually called "Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind"!
(No fooling…)

Wow, haha! I read in that thread that it has an awkward mix, so I've held off.

Yep, its called Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind, which translates as Takamatsu in Japanese!

Don't hold off buying it, if you like King Crimson. As far as live releases go it sounds excellent

Graham Nash - Songs For Beginners (DVD-A)

Warming up to this one. Some track do shine though.

I love these songs:

Better Days
I Used To Be A King
There's Only One
Chicago

Geoff Tate. Solo album DVD-A

 

[Spock]

New dualdisc today:

Ordered it after reading about it in here somewhere - Dutch band and our friend Arjen as produser and mixer - must have been Jan who inspired me. Great disc, melodic metal with female vokalist, very nice surround mix and not to bad sounding - considering only 448 kbps DD.

Closed out my Saturday with some Sabbath.

After listening to Alice Cooper last Friday, well I just had to spin some Sabbath . Excellent Quad mix with Ward's drums at times in the center channel making this a quad-5 ch disc for me anyway, no sub.
It's a shame they did not release more early Sabbath in quad , as this mix is well worth listening to, so well done.

Love this post and pic, thank you Fizzy.. but if I may be so bold as to say, that DVD should not be allowed within a million miles of that beautiful CD-4 LP, imho.. it would pollute the vinyl's 4-channel embedded grooves with its multichannel mediocrity.

Genesis-Nursery Cryme DTS and after that Foxtrot will be on the agenda.
Love the early Peter Gabriel Genesis era as they created such magical albums.

600 Years In A Moment - Fiona Joy Hawkins (Hybrid MultiChannel SACD)

Oh... my.. the sound... and that piano.. :yikes

I'm in love...

Bedrich Smetana: Ma Vlast (complete)

Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra
Walter Susskind (conductor)
(SACD MoFi)

Listening now to Telarc, SACD, mch, 5.1, very discrete and fun as heck. Junior Brown, "Down Home Chrome". If you are a rock a Billy, country boy, hay seed like me, you'll love this surround disc.

Rob Reed - Sanctuary II - DVD-A 48/24 5.1

Nosound - Scintilla - BD-A/V 5.1

One of my favourite SACDs and one of MFSL's best.

That's a good one, Mark. I would love some more rockabilly/blues with a discrete mix. I picked up the Vivino Bros - Blues Band last week. It's not as immersive as Junior's SACD, but still offers some decent jams. Amazon's got some fairly cheap.
