View Full Version : Surround Sound Fleetwood Mac
I just love listening to these Albums in 5.1 SS. If there are any Mac fans out there that haven't yet experienced this....its a must. It's like listening to this music for the first time....the vocals,the music and just the crispness of it all.

I agree with you!

I LIVE for these Surround Sound mixes! I am dying to listen to the White Album Surround Sound.
My favorite SS is "Tusk"!
Rumours: Volume is too low (since its over a decade old)
Mirage: Was not mixed well. I love "Straight Back." "Hold Me" and "Gypsy" were ruined!

Agreed! While TUSK Is a masterpiece in 5.1, Mirage certainly has some wonrderful surprises. But the first half of the album is MESSED UP. From" Cant go Back" through "Gypsy", the bass is non exisitent and feel wonky and wrong, But as soon "Only over You" starts, the 5.1 album REALLY kicks off. and yes... "Straight Back" and "Eyes" are true highlights! (And "Hold me" suffers from the same mixing issue as the first half) It's a shame... because when the album sounds good, it's dreamlike. When the mix is bad, it sounds like you forgot to plug in one of your speakers.

Agree with that except for Gypsy. I actually prefer the 5.1 mix over the stereo version now. The intro with all of the swirling reverb adds a lot of ambience that I personally enjoy. Much of the rest of the album does sound lacking though. It's like it needed some of the holes filled.

What's the cheapest way to get a 5.1 mix system? I would love to hear it but I'm never going to listen to it beyond that.

As recommended by someone on Facebook:
Logitech Z506 Surround Sound Home Theater Speaker System sells for $53 on Amazon. You can connect them directly to your computer via a standard speaker/headphone jack.

Recently discovered that Ken Callait created a surround sound mix of Monday Morning in 2008 for an Acura demo disk. Elliot Scheiner, who mixed The Dance, prepared the majority of the surround sound mixes on that disk, which also included a tutorial by him on the DVD.

If you buy one (or any cheap speakers), buy a new set. Any used system for sale on Amazon or Ebay was probably returned for buzzing speakers which is a common defect.
Infact I would probably buy it at Best Buy or Walmart since you can exchange it easily if you get a dud.

I'm going to get some surround sound speakers for my blu ray.. I have a sound bar and woofer. All I have to do is add the other 2.
Well and then get the physical discs.... oy.. Fleetwood Mac has cost me thousands of dollars.

In the 60's like most kids I had a cheezy record player, but in early '73 my grandmother made my dreams come true and bought me a quad system. So, I collected quad vinyl and 8-tracks for years only to be frustrated by so many artists not being available in the format. Thanks to recent boxes like Macs, we're getting surround for the very first time and vaults are being raided for old quad mixes and now being re-released in blu ray and sacd. I have over 500 surround titles now and wouldn't even think of buying yet another stereo remaster..

I have Dark Side on SACD. You need a SACD player which are semi easy to find at thrift stores now. Many Sony and Denon and some Yamaha DVD players have the SACD logo on them. If you plug them into any 5.1 surround amp you can hear the SACD in surround, it also works for the 2002-2003 era rumors Say You wWill surround discs.

there are 2 surround mixes for both Dark Side and Wish You Were Here. the original quad of Dark Side was done by Alan Parsons (of the Project) and is superior to the 5.1 modern surround mix.
True discrete surround can be so much fun....I used to isolate the rear speakers alone and you would hear all kinds of things you didn't even know were there listening to the stereo version, because the more instruments, the more things get buried.

I love to isolate, too!!! Welcome to the Machine is amazing in Quad.

Rumours & Say You Will were released back then on DVD Audio; your player needs to be able to play those (as they are different to SACD).
Other brands than Sony often combine the ability to play both SACD and DVD Audio discs (look at the logo).
Currently having my own listening party. Mirage this am now Tusk on 5.1 SS. I love it! It would have been nice to have Tango on this format. Everywhere among others would have sounded amazing. Rumours, White album and Say You Will up next.

SYW has incredible mixing. I've listened to it a million times with headphones and was always blown away especially Everybody Finds Out. The drumming and the music is like musical thunder going back and forth in the mix.

Yes! I really do love SYW SS 5.1.and EBFO is one of my favorites. I currently have the White album on….Landslide is amazing!
Sugar Daddy is like a completely different song.

FUN. :D
I bought an Onkyo receiver and a pair of Klipsch speakers on Black Friday. Heard things in Rumours I'd never heard before.
I will have to give Say You Will a listen in the near future!
