A friend I set up with M5s shared this one! Enjoy. Huge sound and very full and warm.

Hilario Duran - From the heart

Forgot all about this one till spotify put in my discover weekly. Mum would blast this in the car when we were kids running errands. Lol.

Awesome song in Dolby Surround as well.

Genesis- The Brazilian

Big fan of the movie Interstellar, and the themes it presents facing the (distant?) future of humanity.

Anyway, I cant help but imagine the first crew on the way to Mars to set up the colony outpost whenever I hear this song. Sweeping and epic in scale, with bass washing over me like waves of space radiation. A great crank it and escape listen.

Thomas Barrandon- No Human Will Come Back

I love these tracks but damn, Spotify is very spastic on my end! not high end fidelity at all. Is anyone using a steaming device like blue sound? Or the streaming service Tidal? I've heard of them, and will dive further for us all.

I use bluos in my NAD receiver in the basement. Does the job!

If you have a receiver with spotify connect that would be the preferred method over bluetooth. I use bluetooth upstairs from an ipad mini to an arcam rblink. Sounds great.

Btw, the issue I’ve found with bluetooth is as much in the sender as in the receiver. My newish ipad mini sounds much much better than my phone. Dunno why.

Big sucker for New wave and synth pop from the 80s. Anyway, everytime this song comes on I cant help but turn it up. Happy beat, sad song.... super catchy synth bass hook.

Temptation is their better known hit single, featured years later in the club scene in the movie Trainspotting.

The first thing I thought of when I read that was ..Yaz ... the album I’m thinking of is “You and Me Both”.

That’s a great movie .... I recently bought the 4K blu-ray version of it.
I’m now waiting for Gravity to come out In 4K Atmos

Yaz is too far reaching for me... kind of put them in the realm of Yello and Kraftwerk. I appreciate them for what they are, but just too Much of a good thing.... lol. They used to use the song “Situation” when they drew the balls for King’s bingo during the news when I was a kid back in Calgary on CFCN. Dunno why I remembered that.

Maybe Mojo remembers...

Hans Zimmers work on Interstellar was great, almost as good as what he did on Inception or The Thin Red Line.
Quite some time ago I recommended the Hans Zimmer Live in Prague concert blu-Ray.
So I’ll say it again, it’s a great performance of clearly recognizable “cues or themes” from some of the films he has contributed to. He and his company Remote Control Productions. You might be surprised by the number of successful film score professionals who are or have previously worked there.
