Teasing the Korean

I don't do any of this stuff. I have a dummy FB account that I use to participate in some groups, but I don't post on my own page, and I don't have FB friends.

Has anyone who clicked on this thread actually listened to the video in the first post?

Agreed!

I am obsessed with this track.

Thanks for the tips! You helped me fill in the blanks, and I just won a pair of tickets!

Yes, I guess it depends on the listener's exceptions of music. Do you think of music as a recorded representation of what a band is playing, or do you think of music as its own thing? When there is no visual, I would prefer the immersive experience. It would not make me think of being onstage with the players.

Thanks. What's interesting about this is that the overall trend for music listeners is that they have downsized their systems, not expanded them. I wonder if this technology will ultimately appeal to folks who are into both film and music.

Gabor Szabo - The Sorcerer & More Sorcery, CD twofer - impulse! Love it!

Johnnie Rae - Herbie Mann's African Suite (UA, stereo)

A.K. Salim - Afro Soul/Drum Orgy (Prestige, stereo) Randy Weston - Uhuru Africa (Roulette, stereo, 70s twofer reissue)

I think it is on Spotify, if you have access. Here is one of the tracks:

Webley Edwards Presents Hawaii Calls: Fire Goddess! (Capitol, mono)

Webley Edwards Presents Hawaii Calls: Exotic Instrumentals Vol. IV (Capitol, mono)

Yesterday: Henry Mancini - Driftwood and Dreams (Liberty, mono) Silvestre Mendez & Su Tribu Afrocubana - Bembe Aragua (RCA Victor Mexico, mono) I wonder if @mikeweil is hip to this Mendez album.

I have never heard a surround mix. I'm curious, are these systems used primarily for watching films?

Hideous artwork, right?

The sublime "Fourth of July," written by Dennis, sung by Carl, and omitted from the Surf's Up album.

Agreed, I have this, and it is excellent.

Just watch out for that first chord in Black Dahlia. It is LOUD!

I highly recommend Black Dahlia.

Have you revisited that Gary Smulyan album with Bob Belden's string arrangements? I wrote about that here when I misfiled the promo I had and couldn't remember the artist. I also love Belden's Black Dahlia and Three Days of Rain, the latter of which @JSngry hipped me to. Do you know these albums?

Correct, and the Chipmunks were named after Al Bennett, Si Waronker, and Ted Keep.

Tito Puente - Puente in Percussion (reissue on French Roulette, mono) Improved by adding jungle sound effects via the trusty Bose docking station!

Thanks for these videos!

I welcome additional comments. As the OP who asked the question, I won't really have anything to add until I start listening to her.
