SPOTLIGHT 6 Vocalion Surround SACD Releases - Argent, Blood, Sweat & Tears, BW Stevenson, Guess Who, Buddy Miles & Santana, Don Sebesky (Dec 2019)

[karlkastner]

The Guess Who was a must. Ordered Argent to explore new stuff and support the cause.

I'm really liking the B. W. Stevenson twofer. I never had the Canadian Q8 and that's where the hits were. Even my wife wanted to hear that one again.

It sounds super excellent!!

Now this is the kind of news we should be waking up to!

Ugh...it's an odd number. 5 new multi-channels........what to do? Pretty sure I have all the other titles..don't like classical......

To be clear, I don't think it's in any way anything but a matter of taste what one likes, and it's cool to just not like classical in general. But this has an awful lot that's really popular "classical thunder" material, in great quad mixes: https://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=2CDLX7369.

Come to think of it, this is too: https://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=CDLX7362. In fact, although they've become part of the classical repertoire, they're both adaptation of film scores. Here's probably the most famous bit:

Thanks for the suggestions! Actually, I do have the Tilson Thomas, and I do like it. Don't have the other. Maybe I'll give it a try. I want to buy 6, not 5.

If you've seen Woody Allen's "Love and Death," he uses the Lt. Kije Suite very heavily, as well (it was originally the score to a early Soviet comedy, suffice to say the music is the only memorable part). It's a lot of fun.

This is probably the most famous part (although I actually like the finale the best, especially in Michael Dutton's surround mix, that spreads the multiple themes going on at the same time around the room):

Greg Lake did a great job of stealing that theme for his "I Believe in Father Christmas."

I really hope this means there's more O'Jays in the wings. Speaking of that, if they can now dip into the Capitol vaults, would be neat if we could get a two-fer of both Macca & Wings Quads, maybe the Ringo's (Vienna + Unreleased). For O'Jays, there's still Ship Ahoy, Message in the Music, Live in London and quite possibly Backstabbers.

We now have all four Earth, Wind and Fire's with the two brought by Audio Fidelity and that is very cool.

Hmm, your avatar is X'd out there @Q-Eight ???

All these recent releases are great news for sure.
But, a part of me wishes they’d slow down (sacrilegious, I know) just a wee bit.
My wallet and I can’t keep up LOL

Yep sometimes "things" just s*ck...and since mid july its just too much shit all at once

Oh well this too shall pass...

 

[Audiowannabee]

On a brighter note im listening to talking heads brick n STILL waiting on my DV order from GROOVES INC of Herbie Hancock sextant n Guess Who share the land / american woman from my dec 7th order

 

[The Rang]

You’ve had a rough go, sorry to hear that. Hopefully things smooth out and the music helps you through.

I have both of those discs and haven’t had time to play them. That’s the other problem, even if my wallet could keep up, my time wouldn’t

I'm making time...working less earning less but listening more. .getting lazy in my old age...REALLY LISTENING ALOT this surround music has me addicted...atleast im not addicted to drugs...just caffeine nicotine lil herbs n buying & listening to music.. Could be worse...no alcohol or crack

For those of you who ordered these before Christmas and remain concerned as to where they may be:

My order which DV marked "shipped" on December 20th finally made it to New York yesterday, so I expect that it won't be much longer until they arrive.

 

[jefe1]

Same here.
But I will be gone Saturday and with my luck the package arrives then to wait for me to return. Their packages always seems to arrive when no one is around to secure it.
Like others I worry about porch thieves.....

 

[Scott65]

I received all 6 of these today - some fun listening ahead!

Not here yet Michael did you stop off at a bar?
