Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[fredblue]

Long summer far from my surround setup, and I've got a pile of items to be listened to (Quadios, Fish's, Ziggy's, Tull..), but I parked them all as I needed something uplifting, so I chose Djabe's Life is a Journey. Beautiful melodies and solid surround experience that evokes the sun, the sea and the light from the Mediterranean islands. By chance I met some fellow cavers from Sardinia this summer, so the listening is dedicated to them.
I'm really, really down due to personal matters, aggravated by an ear barotrauma (shouldn't have dived ..).
So half deaf, I'm here waiting for Djabe and Steve Hackett to raise my spirits a little bit. Music heals, they say!

sending positive healing vibes your way

Music heals, I had a spell of being partially deaf a while back in my right ear due to an infection (a recurring issue) and it does bring you down, had to listen to things in stereo or with little Bass (as it boomed & hurt), loved Dorothee Munyaneza, Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge & Ommadawn, and Tangerine Dream. Djabe is excellent. They are also quite uplifting. Hope things improve for you soon.

That's cool a TAMA kit. I used to play drum kit in high school through 90's and my last kit was a double kick, orange maple TAMA kit, beautiful, too bad I couldn't play it to it's max

Most unfortunately, Audio Fidelity took some serious digs when they released Judy Collins' COLORS OF THE DAY on QUAD SACD but I, OTOH, was thoroughly delighted.

Though not perfect and omitting some of her later triumphs, Judy finally received her due!

So happy to have it in my collection.
