Electronic Music is it a mix of (House, Jazz, Techno, Jungle) ???

Thanks

The "Space of Dream of Life" is Space - Electronic music,
The "Spatial Dynamics" is Techno - Trance,
but both of these titles are titles are influenced by my Detroit Techno Experience.

The samples will tell the rest:

I would like to introduce you to 2 of mine Electronic Compositions from these Albums in 5.1 DTS Surround Sound.
You can make your own DTS Music Disc, (This is not a Lossless Audio)
Just follow my instructions:

Check your home theater system for DTS compatibility.
1. Download zip files.

Breeze (composition from "Space or Dream of Life")
Parallel world (composition from "Spatial Dynamics")

2. Unzip DTS Wav files
3. Burn an Audio CD. (Not a Data CD)
4. Play your new DTS Music CD with your Blu-ray player.

I sent the disc back and received another to discover that it also would not play. I returned the Blu and was discouraged to try again.

This was the first time a Blu would not play on my player.

Hi Jim,

Why don't you wrote me about your problem?

Everybody who has Marantz BD8002 and purchased Tchaikovsky title (including Jim ) please contact me for your updated version.

That why dont hesitate to PM me personally for all compatibility issues,

Thank you for asking.

We just received a consent from Victoria Mullova Management for release of Beethoven Violin concertos, The Release will be out in January. I am also looking for proper source audio material to release Beethoven's 5th and 6th symphonies.

String Quartet by any chance (Op. 131, 133 )?

This might be a terrible idea but, in a quartet, have you played with assigning an instrument to a channel for playback? I don't have any SACD's so I'm unsure if this approach has been used before. With that in mind, the center could pickup and emphasize the featured player in each section.

This idea may have been explored and tossed aside, if so, forgive my ignorance.

Was there a compatability problem with the Tchaikovsky disc and a Marantz?

I tore my hair out (not really) trying to get both Tchaikovsky Blus that I had to work. I even called Marantz to find out that there was any firmware problems. they said "no"

I gave up trying to make them load and work which made me a little worried about ordering any others that interested me.

Tchaikovsky title was manufactured differently then the rest of the titles, I
know that "Mysterious Aqua" and "The Way to Paradise" playing fine on your player, so the rest will play fine too.

I was hoping that was the case. The others played beautifully

Yes, This approach was widely utilized, but by my opinion you can not just blindly put each instrument to separate channel, you need to follow melody leads and harmony to create overall balance of the performance that may not necessary correspond with physical position of the instrument, I think it is match more appropriate to use this approach for polyphonic compositions were each track can represent a voice of polyphony that you can balance together in surround mix. I am showcasing this concept in my "Uncommon Bach" project (produced for virtual instruments) but in the future I also have in mind to do Choral music project to utilize this concept for life recording.

I just ordered one for my studio to see if any compatibility issues with this particular model. Will try to get back on that by the end of the week.

[mwoods]

That would be great . Ive got a friend with a ps3 and I'll let him borrow my disc The way to paradise . So I look forward to hearing from you later this week. Thank you sir

[Alexander J]

the Blu-spec CD conforms to conventional CD standard, thus it’s compatible with legacy CD players. In audio world, that would be another enhanced redbook CD with 16bit 44kHz stereo sound that made available mostly in Asian countries.

I can post that titles will be available if anybody will interested.

if you new to this thread I just want to mention:

the perpouse of this development in my vision is to improve the quality of "Red Book" CD playback utilizing greater Blu-ray technology

the concept of my work is to utilize blu-ray spec to deliver to listeners High Definition 7.1 Surround Music.

The Label TACET (www.tacet.de) has several DVD-Audios and also some SACDs with this approach, e.g the Beethoven Quartets, The Schubert Quintett and Octet, the Beethoven Septet, the Mendelssohn Octet and others. I love this because it gives one the impression to be part of the ensemble. Also, it makes it easier to follow the different lines in more complex compositions.

The work of the Tacet label is esactly that I had in mind answering this question:

However I am highly recommend to check mentioned recordings out to get an idea of that we talking about.
