Rush Moving Pictures Blu-ray Audio - April 5th - Page 15 - Blu-ray Forum

LWince · 06-01-2011, 11:33 AM

I am a huge Rush fan, so this was one for me to get. Unfortunately.... I have not been able to play it because my Google TV Blu-Ray player cannot play it, evan after many updates for the system that promise better playback compatibility, it wont work.

I agree with some of the thoughts and directions here to the DTS HD format of the Moving Pictures Bluray. I enjoy the spacy sound that involves some newly placed echo's or reverb that the DTS offers, but it just doesnt jive with the 30 year old stereo recording we have all grown around over the years. I can leave my setting on the Disk as DTS and then change my AVR to multi channel stereo and it all diverts back to the old "stereo" type recording. This seems to sound better than changing the disk to PCM 2.1 and then coverting it to multi channel stereo.

What really reminds me of the better resolution this disk offers is watching the old analog video's that are on the disk and how they are in perfect sinc with the remastered tracks.

But to be honest, the regular remastered CD that came with the Bluray sounds pretty darn good as well. I dont think I could distinguish the Bluray over the CD when played in straight stereo.

That might be true because...

The gory details can be found in this thread at stevehoffman.tv: http://stevehoffman.tv/forums/showth...t=rush&page=48

Lost opportunity it would seem.

Net is you may or may not find the stereo version preferable to one of the early CD masterings.

Starting Oct. 26th they will be showing the Time Machine show from Cleveland in theaters. Will be nice to see this on a big screen.

Hey all, did anybody's come with a slipcase like it shows on Amazon?

I bought mine from Amazon UK, and it is a 3 part fold out only.

Seeing as it's $27.22 currently (Amazon.com), it's prob cheaper (as Always!) from Amazon.UK as well.

Thanks!

I bought mine from Amazon Canada for CDN$18.99 and it did not come with the slipcover.

Shame about the stereo being 16/44.1 sourced, but I bought this for the 5.1 mix and it does NOT disappoint.

Thanks, Doby! I got mine from Amazon US; no slipcase either. Just making sure.

Yes, it has a good balance of retaining a good stereo soundstage enhanced with surround ambience and the occasional panning effect.

Some of the classic rock surround mixes don't really work, because they were originally produced for stereo and seem somewhat torn apart in the surround version.

Don't get me wrong, I love well done discrete surround mixes (like Dire Straits' Brothers in arms), but this approach works very well for Moving Pictures.

Thumbs up!

Did the CD/BLU Combo go OOP or really just waiting for another pressing?

Hmmm . . . out of stock at Amazon. Same thing happened with Mojo many months ago (but prices are still reasonable from third party sellers).

Yeah, I'd think it it went OOP the prices would start climbling and amazon is still offering AutoRip on the title which I doubt they'd do for ordering it when they don't have a restock date. I think it is still available thru Amazon UK. I will wait it out to see. I bet anything it needs repressed. I called Barnes and Noble from what they can tell it is on B/O.

I have Moving Pictures and love it. I am thinking of getting 2112 but I was wondering if the three bonus live tracks that are on the end of the CD are also on the BD. And if they are on the BD are they separate from the proper album or would they start playing as soon as the last track from 2112 ends?

Should have seen this earlier but just missed it. The live songs are not on the BD but don't let that stop you from getting this release if you are a Rush fan. It's awesome, sounds spectacular and one of my favorite Blu-ray audio experiences.

By the way, where in Oklahoma? I'm in the country just east of Ponca City.
