Steve Hackett: Beyond the Shrouded Horizon

Quite a journey from one of my favorite guitarists of all time.

Wide, rich soundstage on the M60 v3's and Carver amp. I swore a couple of times that my surrounds were on!

Records demos again, more seriously this time. The most recent BR and another DVD compilation. I ripped them to my HTPC for easy access and testing the results turned into a couple of hours of listening.

Wow, Alan was right. If you ever need to try to explain "sound stage" to someone, these are definitely your go-to disks. Plus there is a lot of great music on them that encompasses just enough genres that there truly is "something for everybody." They should be in everyone's demo arsenal, for sure. Top notch musicians as well.

P.S. If anyone hasn't updated Handbrake in a while like me, they added the ability to single pass, rip a BR straight from the disk in recent versions and they added support to keep the HD sound tracks intact. No more using multiple pieces of software to rip and then convert/shrink or maybe even remux in the audio. True, there are other products who's interface is a lot easier but I'm used to it now and it is free.

Gary Clark Jr Don't Owe You a Thing.

Adrian I just ordered Gary Clark Jr's 'Bright Lights' CD last night from Amazon, I believe that's all he's done, right? Have you seen him in the movie 'Honeydripper'? Good movie except I can't take too much Danny Glover.

I am about 2 minutes from listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan being played wonderfully through my M80s.

2 minutes and 20 seconds if I crack the Samual Adams Boston Lager first.

That's all I see on his website so far, Rick. Looks like an excellent album.

George Thoroughgood, sacd from 1977 , only 2 channel but it is sweet. Thought my center was on, had to put my ear right up to it to be sure it wasnt. Next chance i get its steve ray - texas flood.

Garbage - "Blood for Poppies" (official music video)

Still love the song, and there's lots of images of Shirley to go with it now.

Rush 2112 on vinyl.

Another One Bites the Dust, no pun intended.

LOL!!!
