What albums would you like to see be released in a surround hi-res format? (1 Viewer)

[RobertWW]

This has probably already been done, but here goes anyway. List some albums you'd like to hear in a 5.1 format. It doesn't matter what, but try and pick albums that you'd think would be befitting to surround sound. My pics (just the ones I can think of right now):

The Police - Ghost in the Machine
The Beatles - Abbey Road/Sgt. Pepper/White Album
Nirvana - In Utero
Frank Zappa - Either some early jazz stuff or late instrumental stuff. So far all we've gotten is his late 70's rock stuff.
They Might Be Giants - Flood/Lincoln/Apollo 18
The Doors - All the other albums
Melvins - Absolutely anything
David Bowie - Some more of his earlier stuff.
Pink Floyd - Animals/Wish You Were Here/The Wall
Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk/Spotlight Kid/Clear Spot/Trout Mask Replica
Black Flag - The Process of Weeding Out

 

[Tony-B]

Nirvana - Nevermind/Bleach/In Utero
Metallica - Ride The Lightning/Master Of Puppets/...And Justice For All
Fear Factory - Demanufacture/Obsolete
Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Meshuggah - Chaoshpere/Nothing
Slayer - Reign In Blood/South Of Heaven/Seasons In The Abyss
AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap/High Voltage/Highway To Hell/Back In Black
Slipknot - Slipknot

[MikeFR]

TOOL

 

[Lee Scoggins]

Talking Heads are apparently on the way and in the can meaning finished.

I would like to get the entire Pink Floyd catalog.

Oingo Boingo might be fun in 5.1.

 

[Tony-B]

Oh yeah, I forgot about Tool. That would be awesome too.

 

[AricB]

Lee, I would like to hear some Oingo Boingo, have you seen the farewell DVD, its a really good live performance, unfortunately it is in PL only, no 5.1, hoping they revisiit it sometime?

 

[Lee Scoggins]

I have not seen the farewell DVD but these guys were definitely ahead of their time. Look at the success that Danny Elfman has had on soundtracks. They had a lot of talent.

 

[DaveDickey]

Talking Heads are coming to hi-rez? That's terrific! Lee, do you know which album(s)? Where did you hear about it? I'd like to check out the info. Tks, Dave

Yaz would also be welcome in a surround format...

 

[Jay Mitchosky]

Anything from Dream Theater or Queensryche. But only if it wasn't mastered in the gimmicky fashion of so many multi-channel efforts. Actually, the hi res aspect is more appealing to me. I just wouldn't want to here guitar licks or drum rolls from over my shoulder.

 

[Christ Reynolds]

QUADROPHENIA

CJ

 

[Yee-Ming]

The entire back catalog of Pink Floyd. But I'll settle for Wish You Were Here, Echoes, The Wall and Animals first, in that order.

Also, more Queen.

 

[Kirk Gunn]

Rush 2112

 

[Adam.Heckman]

Soundgarden: Superunknown
Live: Throwing Copper
Metallica: RTL
Blues Traveler: Four
Any Pearl Jam
TOOL would be interesting enough to buy.

Edit: Maybe Our Lady Peace too.
If anybody has seen any of these discs let me know! It's hard to keep track of this un-publicized market.

 

[John Wes]

Too many to list.....

Besides many above...

Ten Years After, A Space In Time

Robin Trower...Bridge of Sighs

Miles Davis...Bitches Brew..

Of the top of my head..

Now I'm talking HiRez and not surround sound.

 

[AricB]

Lee, if you Danny Elfman, you should definitely check it out, even rent it, its a pretty lengthy concert(over 2 hours) as well as bonus materials on 2 discs, recorded on Halloween 1995, their last live performance, and it was a pretty big stage show and well recorded, as i said, unfortunately no 5.1.

farewell dvd at amazon

Dave,
Remain in Light is mentioned in this interview.
jerry harrison

 

[Ron Reda]

AFAIC, surround music was made for PF.

Good call on Yaz...I second that. I almost forgot about those guys. Upstairs At Eric's is one of my faves.

Anything by Tool would be welcomed.

I would also love to hear some Dave Matthews Band in surround other than a live DVD.

My #1 request would have to be Smashing Pumpkins' "Siamese Dream". That would be killer!

 

[LanceJ]

Anything from Stereolab

Portishead's Dummy

Massive Attack's Mezzazine
