So, for my next video, I'm considering doing a "Top 10 Original Surround Releases of the Last Few Years (No Reissues)" type of thing. (Later on I'm happy to do the top reissues, but I'd like to raise awareness for original releases, because they are relatively scarce.)
One concern I have is that I haven't heard a few of these albums for myself yet. I guess I could pass on quick comments from other QQers, or something like.
Or just focus on the fact that they've been released and review them musically and sonically later.
Thoughts?
Or top 15. Here is my starting point for a top 15:
Beyonce - S/T Visual Album
Coldplay - A Head Full of Dreams
Mike Oldfield – Return to Ommadawn (CD+DVD-V [dts 48/24]) 1/20
Steve Hackett – The Night Siren (CD+BD-V) 3/24
JMK – JMK (BD-V) 4/25
Magenta – We Are Legend (CD+DVD-V [dts 24/44.1 / FLAC) 4/27
Anathema – The Optimist (BD-A / CD+DVD-V [dts 96/24]) 6/9
Steven Wilson – To The Bone (BD / SP+2CD+DVD-V [dts 96/24]+BD-V) 8/18
The Pineapple Thief – Where We Stood (CD+DVD-V / BD-V / 2CD+DVD-V+BD-V) 10/6 incl. Your Wilderness & 8 Years Later 5.1 mixes
Ian Cooke – The Flight I Flew (CD+DVD-V / FLAC) 10/20 edition of 500
Booka Shade – Galvany Street (2CD+4LP+BD-A [Dolby Atmos]) 10/27 (limited to 300 pcs)
Evanescence – Synthesis (CD+DVD [DD]) 11/10
Sanctuary (Robert Reed) – III (2CD+DVD) 4/20
Styx – The Mission (CD+BD-V) 7/27
Alain Mallet - Mutt Slang (DTS CD)
Each album would have artwork displayed (if I can find it in reasonable quality - or maybe someone can up scans for me) while it is being discussed.
What are your Top 15? I think we can go back to 2014 for this.
Also, let me know if you have ideas for other compelling topics. Thanks.
