Click to expand.I find the 5.1 PCM version has more echo which I don’t like. This seems to be the case on a lot of 5.1 Dolby mixes. The absolute worst offender in this respect is the latest Woodstock anniversary Blu Ray. That one has so much new material but is marred by echo heaven. And to top things off the Dolby 5.1 is your only choice!

Nov 7, 2018 - Jimi Hendrix had a lot to say in 1968, when he released Electric Ladyland, the third and final album with the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Captiveworks cw 600s premium bin files. Electric Ladyland is the third and final studio album by English-American rock band the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Released by Reprise Records in North America and Track Records in the UK in October 1968, the double album was the only record from the band produced by Jimi Hendrix.

Horrible 5.1 imo. I believe Kramer did that one too. He did a much better job on the new Monterey Box. I really love the latest Monterey Blu Ray.

Hopefully a 50th anniversary Woodstock release will rectify the current echo laden release. I find the 5.1 PCM version has more echo which I don’t like. This seems to be the case on a lot of 5.1 Dolby mixes. The absolute worst offender in this respect is the latest Woodstock anniversary Blu Ray.

A few caveats to mention first; my 5.1. Setup is in my combined man-cave/guitar room/music room/gym. I was listening to the album while doing a work-out so I wasn't able to devote full attention to it. This means I also wasn't in the absolute sweetspot all of the time, and I also think my system could use a little calibration and tweaking. I only got into this a few months ago, but have been loving every second of listening in surround. At its best, it can be an immersive experience that takes the music to a new dimension.

So my first and foremost criteria when judging a surround mix is this; does it transport me and immerse me? The answer in this case is yes, at least some of the time. I will say that in general, I think Kramer has done a good job. There was some hesitation when this was first announced due to Kramer's lack of experience in mixing for 5.1. There are mixes out there which are an outright fiasco (can't say I have hear any, but I don't have that many surround records yet), but this isn't one of them. Generally, it provides good seperation with discrete elements in each speaker, working together to create an immersive whole.

But there is some song to song variation in how successful it is at making the whole thing hold together, and also to how well it immerses you. To be totally fair to Kramer, we have to remember that anyone hearing this, is going to compare it to.

- the stereo mix of one of the greatest albums of all time, that most listeners are going to be intimately familiar with. I know that I, for one, would be able to immediately pick out any different/new elements in a mix, compared to the stereo mix which I have probably heard close to 1000 times since I first heard it about 25 years ago. - any new approaches to the mix, be it in instrument and voice balance/placing/tonality/fades/effects, will immediately feel unfamiliar and strange. - the stereo mix is, IMHO, one of the greatest stereo mixes of all time. It is such a complex record, and the stereo mix manages the admirable task of adding to the complexity, while still maintaining a very strong, fundamental sound and punch, uniting and even enhancing on all the elements it is made up of. So with all that out of the way, in my opinion this mix frequently succeeds incredibly well, but there are some elements and some songs that are less successful. Let's do it song by song: 1).And the Gods made Love: Nice swirling sounds as expected, like stereo only enhanced to work in 360 degrees.

Works very well. 2)Have You Ever Been (to Electric Ladyland): love this mix. The stereo is a touch murky and it never really gelled with me as an opening number. The surround mix opens it up and the backing vocals are really enhanced, making it a warmer, more welcoming opening track. The lead guitar parts don't stand out quite as well as on the stereo.
