The next best thing to live music
by Jack GrantI’ve had my DVD of The Blues Brothers playing this afternoon, and I didn’t realize how well they re-mixed the music for the Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. Plus, who can forget the great line, “It’s 106 miles to Chicage, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.”
Wow, I love modern technology, especially when it is used to enhance listening to great music like this. Now I need to get some of those DVD-audio or SACD disks that are 5.1 surround sound, it’s amazing! Some music was meant to be listened to live, but if you can’t get it life, 5.1 surround sound comes close to the old ad, “Is it live, or is it Memorex?” (for those of you old enough to remember the old cassette tape commercials)
