Ten Years After, "A Space in Time": I used to think the song from this album "I'd Love To Change The World" sounded fabulous in stereo. However, it is astonishing in quad. Instruments buried in the stereo mix are prominent in the quad mix without being overwhelming. The stereo version sounds flat in comparison. 2. Santana, "Greatest Hits": Santana's use of percussion made for a perfect match with quadraphonic sound and converted many listeners to the audio delights provided by surround sound. 3. Pink Floyd, "Dark Side of the Moon (U.K. Version)": Only the U.K. version of this 8-track tape provided true discrete quadraphonic sound. The U.S. quad 8-track version was made from an encoded SQ master and was decoded through a lousy decoder. It sounds awful in comparison with the British release. This discrete Alan Parsons mix has found an audience through Internet downloads at torrentz.com and other sites. 4. The Edgar Winter Group, "They Only Come Out at Night": Frankenstein and Free Ride in quad are just plain fun. A longtime favorite with quad collectors and a great tape to show off your quad system. 5. The Doors, "The Best of the Doors": Although the Doors' "Perceptions" six DVD-A box set was released last year in 5.1 surround sound, many of the original quadraphonic mixes are far superior. A very discrete mix demonstrates the individual band members' talents. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 10:29:01 -0700 (PDT) From: Jeff Dwarf Subject: Rex, please refrain from exploding Just so you completist can keep up to date, another Best Buy only special edition of Zeitgeist: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/46708-pumpkins-prep-ianotheri-best-buy-only-izeitgeisti "I'm not tempted to write a song about George W.

Waitasecond... and I believe I got that from you... and then I was later to learn that one of the participants on that record (Spock) was an ex-bandmate of my now-wife... that's some kind of complete circle, right? Okay, we have another sighting of the elusive "eighth (or so) member of Crazy Horse", Sonny Mone. He appears playing acoustic guitar and singing backing vocals on a song on... Matt Piucci's album "Hellenes", which is indeed quite nice. In fact, most of the Horse can be smelt thereon (Billy Talbot on bass and vocals and co-writing credits, Ralph Molina on... well, just backing vocals). Almost all the other musicians are Viva Saturn-ers. All of this new information comes from the liner notes of actual physical CD's delivered to me over the weekend by Amazon (including "Left for Dead" itself). Crazy fun. Most of it. "Left for Dead" sort of sounds like a record by The Cult (but better, for what that's worth). Inarresting fashion choices on the band portraits. Speaking of Ralph Molina, take a listen to "Dirty Old Man*" on the new Neil record and check out that drumming. Highly confusing, eh? - -Rex *I feel certain that someday it will happen: Neil will actually write a song with the exact same title as some other tune in his back catalog.

I should be able to think of other folks who've done this. Still in the Muses arena, the band wrote a song called "Cry Baby Cry" and later covered the Beatles' tune by the same title, which is sort of in that "Indian Summer" ballpark.
