What Three Albums Would You Most Like To See In Hirez? (1 Viewer)

[Lee Scoggins]

I thought it would be fun to see what albums people would most like to see in hirez.

Here is my eclectic list:

1. Pink Floyd The Wall (5.1). An album built for surround sound.

2. Beck - either Odelay or Midnite Vultures would be perfect.

3. Anything by Van Morrison.

What's your top 3?

 

[Jimmy Nugent]

XTC - Skylarking
Bryan Ferry - Mamouna
The Fixx - Phantoms

There are so many more...

Jimmy

 

[Evan S]

for me....

Shawn Colvin - Fat City
Robert Cray - Strong Persuader
Anything by Tool

That's what I would like to see personally.

 

[Mike Broadman]

I don't like to make lists of favorites, but I think these would be interesting:

Ornette Coleman- Free Jazz
It's basically like two jazz groups playing at the same time. Would be a real kick in surround.

Radiohead- Ok Computer
A lot of interesting sounds on this album should make for an interesting listen in high-res surround.

A really really good version of Don Giovanni!

 

[Rachael B]

Edgar Winter's White Trash RECYCLED
Derek Trucks Band JOYFUL NOISE
Al Kooper REKOOPERIZATION

 

[FeisalK]

Marillion Misplaced Childhood
Rush Hemispheres
Genesis And Then There Were Three

 

[Danny Tse]

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arm (just imagine the opening of "Money For Nothing" in hi-rez surround)
Van Halen - 1984
"The Last Emperor" soundtrack

 

[Ken Groulx]

Apart from personally enjoying these artists immensely, I've chosen the following as releases that I believe feasibly appeal to a broad enough demographic to at least be considered for a possible release in hi-rez multi-channel:

U2 - The Joshua Tree, or Achtung Baby!
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run, or The Rising
Radiohead - The Bends

(Frankly, I'd be happy to even have The Boss' catalog remastered in redbook).

NIN-Downward Spiral
Radiohead-Ok Computer or Kid A
Something recent from Depeche Mode, either Exciter or Ultra would probably be amazing.

The wall is so close, but given that there is the dvd in 5.1, I have to go with something that isnt in hi rez or surround.

 

[Al B. C]

Sgt. Pepper's

Low

Graceland

 

[Charles Gurganus]

The Beatles - Abbey Road
Barclay James Harvest- Gone to Earth
Alan Parson Project- Tales Of Mystery and Imagination AND I Robot

 

[Curtis Lotter]

Kate Bush: Hounds of Love. Another album built for surround.

Pink Floyd: The Wall

Supertramp: Crime of the Century

Among many of the others listed above.

 

[LarryDavenport]

Since Genesis' The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway and The Beach Boys' Surf's Up are due this year, my top three would be:

Pink Floyd - Meddle
Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All
Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties

honorable mention

Led Zeppelin - The Complete Studio Recordings

 

[Tony Mirra]

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Aphex Twin - Richard D. James LP
Can - Tago Mago

Already have a DTS mix of Sgt Pepper though unofficial (grin) channels.

 

[Lee Scoggins]

Thanks for the great response. I look forward to reading more choices...



That's my dream as well.
