Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Snood]

Last week at 01:30 a.m. in the morning on Jan.26th my wife woke me up and said our daughter Amy just had a son, which would make me a first time grandfather(have a hard time saying that word).
So here's the power of music a few minutes later I have this song playing in my head, The Who-"Its a Boy" ......A Son,a Son A Son........
This morning driving into work had Who's Tommy Dvda playing in the car and will be spinning that some more on way home today.

Lalo Schifrin - Letters from Argentina (DVD-A DualDisc)

Demo quality mix and fidelity. And some tasty music to boot.

Wishbone Ash "New England" SpecWeb Upmix from CD... The twin guitar assault separates fantastically; SpecWeb has led me to rediscover one of my favorite bands in surround... Saw them last year at a small club in Pasadena, CA... Sounded tight live (only one original member, though) I recommend this band to anyone who likes extended dual- lead guitar solos/jams... These guys invented them!

My Wishbone Ash SpecWeb Upmixes so far:

Wishbone Ash (self titled) from CD (pre-loudness wars)
Pilgrimage from CD (pre-loudness wars)
Argus from SACD
New England from CD (pre-loudness wars)
Just Testing from 24x192 vinyl rip
No Smoke Without Fire from 24x192 vinyl rip

"There's The Rub" is next (waiting for my "non-remastered" CD to arrive)

Thin Lizzy "Roisin Dubh" (title track) SpecWeb Upmix from SACD... Yes, the guitar solo sounds amazing (one guitar in each rear speaker)... SpecWeb really does a good job of separating guitars into the rear speakers when there's two of them (other good examples include AC/DC and Judas Priest... Iron Maiden works well with the Kevin Shirley-produced stuff... For some reason a lot of the Martin Birch recordings don't separate very well with SpecWeb.)

"Disturbing The Universe" by edisonbaggins.... This is effing great! If I could vote on this, I'd give 2.5 for content... The musicianship is excellent (love the guitar solo... Maybe turn it up a little?) and the music reminds me of Black Sabbath but with a more progressive feel (maybe a slight BOC vibe as well); 3 for the surround mix... At first I was thinking "I wish the vocals were a little louder" as they were coming from the center channel, but then they started moving all around the room, eventually settling in my rear speakers... Really cool effect! Finally 3 for the sonics... Full range sound, very dynamic, drums sound great... Very crankable. 8.5 total... More please! Great job, Mr. Baggins!

haha - I listened to it as well. I agree - it does sound good. But.....since it's ROCK, I really can't comment until I can turn it up this weekend....

Is it all in 5.1? If so, cool!
Downside of this disc is load time. Holy carp!

Hope you like it

Certainly, 'though I like Boys and Girls a bit more. I had a sacd rip of this one from a friend and this is apparantly the same mix (24-88.2). I ripped it to 96 khz because my soundcard doesn't support 88.2.
