Anyone here in to surround music?

 

Rush have several albums out in surround and Life in Surround has already reviewed several.

 

If interested, here are a couple to get you started!

There should be more Rush content coming, so subscribe if you like the channel!

Life in Surround is a YouTube channel (with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram tie-ins) dedicated to promoting great surround music.

Rush have several great surround albums. Mike, from Life in Surround is a huge Rush fan, and here is a very touching tribute, which includes an overview of Rush in surround.

I've complied a wide variety of discs, for the albums I care about most: Fly By Night - Signals.

I have US silver, US and W German atomic, MFSL, 1997 Remaster, the Sector sets, Dvd-Audio & Bluray-Audio (for certain albums) and HDTracks downloads.

I suppose I should pick up at least one early Japanese album, since there are positive reviews.

I've been doing some listening, as well as wav form analysis.

I plan to reply back, at some point with some observations, some pictures, and maybe I'll even do a video on my YouTube channel.

I have ample access to the early US CDs. Can anyone attest that the Canadian and/or W. German pressings are much better in sound quality?

Say, worth 3 or more times the cost?

 

Thank you.

It wasn't meant to be mean spirited at all, but it is very nice to see people finally sticking up for HYFAL!

I just watched a "making of" type show about this on HBO. This might be the first money I've spent on anything from Hollywierd in nearly 10 years. I will not waste my money at a theatre due to all the horror stories I've heard about cel phones and patrons talking. I will however buy or rent this on DVD and watch it in the comfort of my own home.

Chemistry. Boring. Stoopid chorus. Too nerdy.

Opening riff is cool, but after that the song dies...

Just for you Jules...

Brennan's Irish whiskey on the rocks. About 3 oz. so far.

Wife said she's bringing home Patron Silver or Viejo...

I think I'll hold up for that. This is definitely a drinking night for me though...

I don't even know who most of those guys are!!! I'm probably a little too young, but, also, I've never watched much TV... I have a TV set, but it is used only to watch DVD's. We don't even have cable or anttena service!

 

I'll have to go with Al Bundy!

Coffee--I'm recording guitar parts for a new song!

Last night at the world premier screening of Rush x3:

 

Glenlivet 12 yr &

Marker's Mark with lime

(both on the rocks)

 

Today:

 

Glenmorangie 12 yr burgundy

What version of SoR is included on the best buy cd?

SoR is on ASoH?

Yep.

It sounds like ASOH.

My question: is the mix on the GUP DVD different than on the cd?

Is that implicit because one is 5.1 whatever and the other is just stereo?

I have only recently gotten into Scotch at all, because I discovered that my in laws have connections to Glenmorangie out of Scotland. I decided to try it and I really enjoy the 12 yr "wood finish" kinds. There are four to choose from and I've had a few fifths of each now. When I's a little broke if even go for the 10 yr and it is pretty good too.

I either sip straight out of a shot glass or pour over three ice cubes in a tumbler (before I read that in TM).

I'd like to try The Macallan because of Neil, of course. I don't care whether or not it's the best just to try it. What kind does Neil drink? Or does he mix it up? Or does anyone even know? It must be a kind one can get in the liquor store, eh? Because he drinks it whilst traveling?

 

 

I believe I've only had SN's pale ale, the normal one.

It's okay, but I'm not a big pale ale guy anyway.

I tend to stick to thick, dark beers. Porters, Stouts, etc.

I'd gladly make a trip to any microbrewery including SN.

I'm sure one gets a much better appreciation for the beer

and the actual establishment. Anyone had Sudwerks from

Davis?

Glenmorangie 12 year aged burgundy wood finish. Nice!!!

Still, I'd love to try The Macallan some time, from reading

Ghost Rider and Travelling Music. Does anyone know exactly

what kind of The Macallan Neil drinks?

The Necromancer

Virtuality

Between Sun & Moon

2112

Stick it Out

Power Windows for me.

There is a surprising thing about this poll to me:

 

Here Again

What You're Doing

In the Mood

Before and After

 

are all pretty much neck and neck in the standings.

My favorite from the album always has to be Working Man then Finding My Way, but Here Again is very closely in third for me.

I prefer rice-milk myself...
