Originally recorded digitally, soundengineer Chuck Ainly remixed the landmark album ‘Brothers In Arms’ on an analog console in surround. Fantastic recording, great songs and an excellent surround mix make this a reference disc to take to the famous island, if you had to choose. Stockfish stands for excellent quality audio, and ‘Hell Or High Water’ is no exception. What band would be better suited for a surround sound mix than Pink Floyd? One of my all-time favorrite albums with a true surround treatment: gimmicky in the best sense of the word when appropriate and otherwise well balanced and immersive. With an all-star lineup of artists including Stevie Wonder, Take 6, Tom Scott, Gary Burton and Plas Johnson returning for the Pink Panther, Ultimate Mancini is just that: the ultimate version of Mancini’s music, in performance, audio quality and a wonderful surround sound mix.Ĥ. They sound as if they were recorded yesterday. Remixed from the original master tapes for the show ‘Love’ and preserved to DVD Audio we get 26 surround sound tracks by the Beatles. Mixed for surround this record puts you right where the funk is! Hard to sit still with this one… The funk master teaches us a thing or two about groove just by listening to him play.

Gordon Goodwin’s Big Band is swinging hard and with players like Eric Marienthal, Michael Brecker, Wayne Bergeron and the omnipresent Luis Conte on percussion among others, it really doesn’t come as a surprise. Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band – XXL DVD Audio And the studio tracks are very well balanced and immersive.ĩ. The live tracks really put the listener in the audience, but with a much better audio quality than you would get at a real concert.

Epic is the correct term for this rarity (as in ‘more movie scores with surround sound please’)! Hans Zimmer’s great score to the movie Inception can be heard in full surround sound on the bonus disc of the 2 Disc Special edition Blu-ray. So without any further ado, here is number… One is even available as a multi channel FLAC donwload.
