Its Gregs brilliant mixing of Honky Chateau, that started me off on this surround roller coaster.

You know....this surround hobby brought me even closer to Elton's music....I liked him...but I was more of a "hits" guy back in the day...but when I started getting his surround titles it completely changed my opinion of him...some of the songs and albums I didn't give a second glance... were suddenly like finding lost gems...and whenever someone new would come on the forum I would recommend the EJ discs to them....that's if Adam didn't beat me to it
Yes and what a superb, faithful job they are doing at DV.
Sheesh, it seems so long ago that the Elton John SACDs were released.You know....this surround hobby brought me even closer to Elton's music....I liked him...but I was more of a "hits" guy back in the day...but when I started getting his surround titles it completely changed my opinion of him...some of the songs and albums I didn't give a second glance... were suddenly like finding lost gems...and whenever someone new would come on the forum I would recommend the EJ discs to them....that's if Adam didn't beat me to it
I like it too...as long as it's not too loud.
Keep in mind that these guy’s worked in the golden era of quad; it is unarguable that they were among the few who virtually wrote the template for how to mix in quad. Also keep in mind that these gentlemen produced their work from 1972 to 1978 at the outside.

...When it specifically comes to remixing classic albums, he's really good at not messing up what was so great about the original sound of these albums but he just enhances them in exactly the right way...
The thing you have to remember about the CBS quad guys is that the SQ matrix system Columbia was using on their quad vinyl influenced the way they would mix in quad. They were essentially forced to make those totally dry four-corner discrete mixes, as that was the only way they'd encode and then decode properly (in theory). If Columbia hadn't used SQ, who knows what mixing route they would've gone in?
they've done an utterly amazing job so far, as i dust off the shelves and marvel at those Poco, RTF, TOP, Guess Who, Johnnie Taylor, Rick Derringer, Billy Paul, WR, Art Garfunkel steak house and Chase SACDs
True, but genius lies in the way that some people are able to demonstrate such creativity when working within strict limitations.The thing you have to remember about the CBS quad guys is that the SQ matrix system Columbia was using on their quad vinyl influenced the way they would mix in quad.

Like Steven did with the limited source of This Was.True, but genius lies in the way that some people are able to demonstrate such creativity when working within strict limitations.
