Electric Moo: Nox Archaist Video Game Soundtrack, Discrete Quad, lossless

This album was originally released in stereo a year ago. Since it is an immersive, ambient soundtrack with lots of effects, I figured it would be a good candidate for surround treatment. So I remixed the whole thing into Quad from scratch, as a practical exercise in surround. It was a lot of...

Nice choice, one of my favorites!

Also a much improved presentation when Front/rear channels are reversed. (See qq poll thread)

Oh yes..... I'm well aware of that f$%k up.
Good thing I have the SQ quad album and a dvda conversion.

That's one quad DVD album that should be redone properly, for Blu-ray (or DVD).....and Pronto!


And while we're at it any/and many additional "Ten Years After" albums should be considered for a Complete re-issues Catalogue in Surround . I think they have been overlooked for quite some time.

"...she said her stereo was 4-way, and I just love it in a room..."
==============
She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn't done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn't come in
(I couldn't come in right then . . . )

There was chatter on another thread about Quadrophenia, I love this Blu Ray sounds so great and surroundy. One of the first surrounds I bought, probably the first Blu Ray surround I bought.
I have a special place for this as I saw there first show on that tour at The Cow Palace, the one where Moon fell off/passed out on drum set. Guy from audience played two songs on drums. The biggest news of that night was the opening act, Lynyrd Skynyrd, OMG, they blew the socks off the place, Free Bird, unreal, 3 guitars, wow.
Next day we all went out and bought Skynyrds first (Pronounced) and Southern Rock exploded.
I also saw The Whos 25th anniversary at SAP center with Gary Glitter, Billy Idol, Zakk Starkey and a host of others. Recently saw Quadrophenia Symphonic at Chase Center wasn't impressed.
The Who-Quadrophenia-Blu Ray 24/96 5.1 DTS HD-MSTR. DR's are 12's, 13's, 14, 15's.

I still consider this latest SONY JAPAN 5.1 SACD Remaster in elegant 7" packaging to be definitive

 

[4-earredwonder]

Keep those exquisite SACD Remasters in 7" Packaging coming, SONY JAPAN, especially when they sound THIS GREAT!

I got to see The Who in 76 or 77 ,and excellent performance.
At the end of the Concert ,Keith rode piggy back on Roger.
Regardless his shenanigans he was my favourite drummer ,and kinda still is.

Just listened to The Hip Road Apples , in 5.0.

I don't find it lacking much in the surround mix fwiw. Unfortunately the first song is center channel heavy ,but that changes throughout the entire album .

 

[fizzywiggs41]

Prior to The Hip ,I gave Stephen W Tayler -DeCapo a good listen throughout the entire album dts of course , a d including the DTS bonus live tracks.

Well it was better than I anticipated ,and highly recommend it if your into electronics/ambient music.
And very good surround all around.

 

[fizzywiggs41]

Also demo' d yesterday ,this Classic from TFT ,which I think is extrapolated from the 75 Quad album of the same name ......in a 5.1 Dolby Video presentation.

Besides the 75 Classic Quad album there are multiple bonus videos ,but only in stereo.
