Well I should get this one!! I still can't believe I've bought this yet.
I will get the blu ray edition of the album cause of the audio gold that exists on it.
I really wish all music could be released in this blu ray package. I would never buy another cd again if it were so. ;)

Thursday.

Anubis-- the tower of silence
Iron maiden-- flight 666 (blu-ray)
Mutiny in Jonestown-- 14
Mutiny in Jonestown-- 9 ( our good friend Dennis a.k.a THE CRIMSON KING is making a push to get his MIJ project into PA. You can check him on soundcloud under his name and title of the band. It's truly great stuff. High quality Psyche/space rock)
Iron maiden-- the book of souls (disc 2)
Riverside-- love, fear and the time machine
IQ-- on the road of Bones
Arena-- Rapture (DVD)

I hope my little review won't put you off
I totally agree, I would get only blu ray, instead of cd. It's too bad my home theater amp has a really flat sound.

I really need to listen to more Brainticket. How's that one?

Awesome!


Today:
Cloudland Canyon - Lie in Light
Cloudland Canyon - Requiems der Natur
Baroness - Purple
Causa Sui - Euporie Tide

When I listened to The Raven the other day, I connected my blu ray player to the home theater and the amp I use with my turntable, and alternated between both with the same headphones. It loses a lot of quality on the amp, but it sounded much more powerful. Generally, it sounded better on the home theater though.

He has albums on surround? That must be a fantastic experience

I'll try to listen to it tomorrow (and Starring Rosi next Summer ), it really seems essential. Yeah, that must be a weird t-shirt Did you listen to the new one? I put it on my top 20, it's really good

It's a short album but it seems even shorter, like 10 minutes I don't like the bonus tracks on side 3 though.

Thanks! I felt bad for bashing the album, despite being my honest opinion. I still think it's better than The Incident

I definitely think you're right about `H.C.E' probably being better than PT's `The Incident', Sam. It's odd, some parts of `The Incident' are superb, others, like that `I'm drawing the la-hine, I'm taking control' childish emo-crap are so far beneath them it's staggering! But, I'm really eager to give it another spin now (Damn you, shaking fist in hugrly comical fashion!).

Oh, I have no idea if Roach properly has albums in Surround Sound, I simply turned on the option on my soundbar and it sounded terrific!

He saved his best ideas for his first solo album, that one sure doesn't bore me. I think even "On The Sunday Of Life" is superior to The Incident and HCE

If he doesn't have, I think he should Speaking of surround and electronic music, I recommend you this Jarre DVD. The video is not that interesting but man, that's one epic surround experience I normally play it and turn off the TV

How's that album?

Curiously, I noticed yesterday there's a new CD/vinyl reissue of it

Tom Ozric wrote: I drove the work van around today - it has a really good sound system (nice and loud with very clear sound) - I packed in Meshuggah's ObZen album - blaring at insane levels - man, I think the whole suburb is familiar with that album now

Metal Friday:
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
Godsmack - Faceless
System of a Down - Toxicity

Dead Meadow. I know the other one.

Tom Ozric: love that you are getting heavy these days. You've turned over a new metal-leaf! ;)
Sam(meltdowner): when you say your amp is "flat" do you mean neutral or actually lifeless sounding? If it's the later, replace the amp. It may not be powerful to drive your speakers in general.
Check the OHMS (impedance level) of both your speakers and amp. Probably a mis-match. :(
Michael(Aussie M-1000 ;) : I think what a lot of sound bars have, like most home theater amp/receivers, is what is called DSP. Basically what that is is that you can have a stereo analog lead, and allow that signal to run through all five speaker channels or in your case reproduce the 'surround vibe' out of your sound bar. As you may know an analog sound signal can only be processed or identified through 2 channel audio only, so a digital spatial positioner will and can latch on to an analog signal to gain a surround or 5 channel output.
You lose a bit of quality when you have that cause we all know just about everything sounds better in a pure analog sound signal, so I'm not sure if your sound bar is necessarily better just different. :)
