Additional stereo titles sounding like quad

[Jerry Glocka]

Here's a couple more newer stereo titles that sound good thru a decent decoder. In this case, a Sansui qrx-7001 vario-matrix set to Surround mode:

Robbie Roberston & Red Road Ensemble - "Songs for the Native American"

Very full and atmospheric, lots of percussion and vocals (native american). A lot of sound coming out of rears in a very natural mix. Adds to the spooky quality of this 1994 release.

REM - "In Time"

I know there are 5.1 releases of a lot of REM's catalog. But this stereo mix of of their recent work when sent thru the Sansui sounds very quad-like.

King Crimson - "The Power to Believe"

Heavy, bass laden Crim that sounds awesome thru the Sansui. Could Fripp be thinking multi-channel for future releases?

Fripp would be thinking SACD stereo at least, hopefully surround as well. He did say after all (in 1989 with those CD remasters), "I'll take these for now".

Time for all things Crim to git 24 bit and 5.1 I'd say....
