Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[GOS]

I'm not going to lie.....one of my super guilty pleasures is.......wait for it.....

Roxy Music - Ladytron in multi-channel. Wow!!! What a total bizzarro song that I think sounds amazing.

Roxy Music - Avalon 5.1

Ummmm - spec-effing-tacul-freaking-ar

 

[BeoProf]

It is indeed the quad mix. It's been reissued quite a few times now, originally by Sony as a single layer SACD and more recently by Analogue Productions as a hybrid. Interestingly enough the old Sony disc has fake center and sub channels added, but the new AP version does not.

Herbie's Sextant is an even wilder quad, maybe one day someone will get that out on SACD.

Cool! So all of the SACD releases contain the original quad mix? For some reason I thought there is a new, modern 5.1 surround mix as well on some of them.

Hey I listened to it just the day before. It's still one of the best Yes releases musically, and the surround mix does it justice!

Will be listening soon... I just ordered The Beatles - White Album. Found it for a somewhat acceptable price at Amazon warehouse deals. So I guess, on Friday I'll be listening to it. Can't wait!

Thrust is pretty cool in surround too!

The whole ROXY MUSIC catalogue begs for the surround treatment , be it by Bob Clearmountain or someone else Surround Savvy.
And same goes for the solo albums of both Bryan Ferry and Phil Manzanera.

With 3 bonus 5.1 tracks.

Will spin it to-nite or Thursday.

Wow, those are two must have discs for the surround sound enthusiast. I paid more for those when they where first released. Don't think just jump on it.

I have been listening to surround all day, raining in SF and worked from home today, my ass feels like it grew, sitting so much, walking to a bar stool somewhere might help?

Keane - Hopes and Fears

This is top 10 favorite albums for me...and the multi-channel just DOES it for me.

Keane - Hopes and Fears

This is top 10 favorite albums for me...and the multi-channel just DOES it for me.

One of my fav's as well and was happy to introduce Keane to my kids and all 3 of my kids love this band.
I needed to buy them all the Keane cd's as they kept grabbing my Sacd copy to listen to the stereo layer. I have since bought the dual disk as well to play in the car.
To bad, the rest of the Keane albums would have been great to come out as surround as well.

Funny Keane,Snow Patrol and Muse, 3 English bands my kids and I shared in learning about together and they each only have one surround album each.
