Newly discovered the magic of 5.1 thanks to the Charisma Box

[Woody61]

Hi all - fab site! Being quite a Hifi guy who for around 10 years already had a) a 5 speaker set-up (Beolab 5, BL18, BL2 steered by BV11) and b) several 5.1 surround disks (as bonus disks) I never had actually played them…. This radically changed half a year ago when Van der Graaf -my fave band for over 40 years now- released the fabulous Charisma Years Box. I was blown away by The Undercover Man, the first song I put on - after reprogramming my set-up from simply 2x stereo to 5.1….. The day thereafter I went through my CD collection and was happy to find quite a few 5.1 DVD bonus disks like nearly all of the Nick Cave albums, Talking Heads, King Crimson, Yes, Bruford, Quadrophenia, some more. After visiting the great Kraftwerk exhibition in Duesseldorf I even could not resist buying their 7.1 box — and WOW. Now anxiously waiting for 5.1 of the rest of the Van der Graaf catalogue and -wishful thinking- some of my other fave albums like Hammill’s Over and In Camera or - and that one should really be amazing in 5.1: Nail by Foetus! Greetings to all, keep up the good work sharing new and upcoming releases!
