Incanus 5,714 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 While nobody asked me I'll say that The Eiger Sanction is excellent! Abzû by Austin Wintory: Such a marvelous score, a perfect spiritual companion to the composer's Journey with a similar atmospherically building dramatic arc but here given great choral colourations throughout with flutes, harp and oboe in lead soloist roles instead of cello. publicist and Taikomochi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,528 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Yes it is, but it doesn't seem to be in full 5.1. The rear speakers appear to be used to create ambience, via bleeding. As I say, though, it's a very minor gripe, in an otherwise very good recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably my biggest disappointment with orchestral music in 5.1. Multi-channel mixes like E.T. are nothing special, Titanic is okay. And the Erich Kunzel ones sound weird. May as well listen in stereo and you're getting good fidelity. It's mixes like Chicago, Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds and DSOTM where the surround effects are used effectively.

Agreed, although the 5.1 mixes of both A.I., and THE FIRST GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY are nice. DARK SIDE.... WYWH, THE DIVISION BELL, and THE ENDLESS RIVER, are all mixed really well.

Bespin 8,482 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Harpsichord.. well it's just a question of balance. By example, Bach wrote concerti for 2 and 3 harpsichords. Well, that's humor... and pedagogy, not balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Agent Cody Banks by John Powell I'm still baffled to this day that this thing goes on for 79 minutes, and it simply doesn't get old or wear out its welcome for me. I've tried to find a shorter playlist, but I pretty much enjoy every cue! Very few scores can go over the 75 minute mark and keep my attention.
