Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[fredblue]

Confused about how to get a replacement, that is. Seems like posters in that thread had plenty of trouble.
Anyhow, my disc has TONS of bass. Inverted my subs and there was less, but still plenty.

oh ok! i don't know, you may have a replacement disc already?

Possibly? I bought it from zoverstocks in December 2014, new condition, in case that helps solve the mystery some day.

Does anyone know how many Steely Dan albums in surround?. How do we get to the powers that be and get a Steely Dan boxset like Chicago?.

Does anyone know how many Steely Dan albums in surround?

Can't Buy A Thrill, Countdown To Ecstasy, and Pretzel Logic were all released in quad back in the '70s. Thrill and Countdown are very discrete, while Pretzel is very subtle surround-wise.

Gaucho, Two Against Nature, Everything Must Go, and three of Fagen's solo albums (Nightfly, Kamakiriad, Morph The Cat) were released on DVD-A, mixed by Elliot Scheiner. There is also a DTS-CD version of Gaucho that has a slightly different surround mix, while the Multichannel SACD has the same mix as the DVD-A.

The first six albums (Thrill through Aja) were all slated for Multichannel SACD release about 15 years ago, obviously that never came to be for reasons we continue to speculate. It is known that they actually tried to remix Aja into surround twice (first as a DTS-CD in the '90s, then as an SACD in the early-2000s), but were hampered by missing multitrack tapes. Scheiner has stated in past interviews that he finished a 5.1 mix of Pretzel Logic that remains unreleased.

We tried just that last year, it did not happen.

I just watched on AXSTV the Doobie Brothers story, really good. Inspired me to listen to a ton of Doobies the last couple hours but this is the only surround I own.

I don't have that box set. Do you like it overall, live? Very expensive now.

I'm digging their 1st live outting a hell of a lot more than I remember. Better system? Fairly discrete!
Not sure about the other two 5.1 shows in the set. Some listeners claim that T. Banks had Hackett mixed off? I hear plenty of guitar on this one.
I was actually intending to sell, but I'm 2nd guessing ATM.
The 5 bonus tracks tacked on to Live are nothing to sneeze at. Lamb tour songs

Switching gears, getting my wife in the soulful mood before we go out tonight.
A must have Dual Disc.

I'd call it light soul with a jazzy edge. Some singing (slightly mellow) and some instrumentals. Reminds me a little of the D-V "The Cecil Holmes Soulful Sounds - The Black Motion Picture Experience & Music for Soulful Lovers." I'd definitely recommend checking out the album someplace like youtube. I've only listened once and it was pleasant, but didn't blow me away. (I'd never heard this album before either.) But it does have that excellent D-V smooth as silk mastering.

Good enough for me.

Really J-Pup, that silky smooth dutton Vocalion is a good description, here I am back to the soulful sounds of Billy Paul.
This is what the 2fer looks like and I am listening to the War Of Gods part.
