'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' Movie and 4K Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. I’ve never quite understood the appeal of Jason Momoa as an actor. I’ve never walked away from a movie of his and been impressed or blown away by his performance.  He has the look of a movie star, but he doesn’t really stand out in his film roles.  He’s merely just a buff dude on screen. Of course, we have seen…

Is Apple music really better 😕 I like the Spotify green but I am easily swayed

i wont lie to you, on the phone it sounds very similar, almost the same in some ways but apple music does sound deeper sometimes, especially if dolby atmos is turned on. but on a computer (i have a mac so idk if this changes anything) it's completely different. listening to apple music on a computer feels like i'm in the studio with them, listening to it exactly how it was intended to sound.

Previously Unseen Footage from Ziggy Stardust Tour Released as New “Starman” Video

Bits and pieces of archival film capturing David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars performing “Starman” have been stitched together create a new video for the song.

Captured by Mick Rock in color and black-and-white video on the 1972-’73 Ziggy Stardust tour, the new-old montage finds Bowie and the band milking it for dazed audiences. Playing 12-string acoustic guitar or nothing at all, Bowie is a sight, weird as he ever was, crazy ahead of his time and making music that stands the test.

Soundtracked with the studio version of “Starman,” the previously unseen video follows a similar treatment of “Ziggy Stardust” and announces the Sept. 6 re-release of the Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars in Dolby Atmos.

While that’s great for audiophiles, what Bowie fans really need is more of Rock’s long-stashed videos.

About this play: Starring Andrew Garfield as Winston, Cynthia Erivo as Julia, Andrew Scott as the alluring, mysterious O’Brien, and featuring Tom Hardy as Big Brother, Audible presents a new dramatization of George Orwell’s classic tale.

'The Beekeeper' Movie and 4K Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. Jason Statham is one of the most successful action stars of the 21st century, even though he’s not exactly reinventing the wheel with his performances. In most cases, if you have seen one Jason Statham performance, you have seen them all. He’s a calm, cool and calculated killer with a sense of humor. There is an…

A reissue of The Beatles' collections "1962-1966" and "1966-1970" has been released

On November 10, new editions of the Beatles 1962-1966 (“Red Album”) and 1967-1970 (“Blue Album”) collections were released.

The first version of these albums was released 50 years ago with the aim of collecting the best songs of The Beatles in two editions. Now the number of songs on both collections has increased, and all compositions have been remixed in stereo and in Dolby Atmos. The 1962-1966 compilation now opens with the UK single version of "Love Me Do", while "Now And Then", featured on the 1967-1970 compilation, completes the collection spanning the band's career.

The reissue includes songs that were remixed in stereo and in Dolby Atmos for the latest reissues of The Beatles albums, including Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (2017), The Beatles (The White Album) (2018), Abbey Road (2019), Let It Be (2021) and Revolver (2022), plus new stereo mixes for Compilation 1 (2015). All songs not included on these releases were mixed in stereo and/or Dolby Atmos by Giles Martin, Sam Okell and Paul Hicks at Abbey Road Studios using audio de-mixing technology from WingNut Films. The new "1962-1966" and "1967-1970" are accompanied by articles written by journalist and author John Harrison.

You cant fix a recording in your system.

It is obvious that once a recording is published it is fixed. Analog or digital makes no difference once it reaches your system it is what it is. If it is flawed there is little to do. Oh you can use a multiband equalizer (shudder) or a dynamic range expander (for some recordings) but that is a bandage on a broken thing. It will not fix the stereo image if it is not there.

I tripped over a nugget of information at the online TAS blog. My attention was snagged by yet another half million dollar speaker then diverted by this other thing.

I played the two tracks, A & B, as instructed and quickly chose B as preferred. It was recorded with a single stereo microphone. If you read all the blah blah on either side of the demo you get the idea.

I listened with cheap earbuds plugged into my computer. It was a very noticeable effect.

Single mike recordings are rare as it is easier to do multi mikes into huge mixing boards so things can be tracked and mixed. Faster, easier to fix mistakes and all that.

Audiophiles will spend big money and judge the quality of their system on its ability to produce a good image. This small nugget shows the basic image quality is not in the playing, but in the recording.

As an aside the funky speaker in the photo is a Linkwitz open baffle behemoth that sprays sound all over the room front and back to artificially create ambience and presumably image. I think the concept is deeply flawed.

So what does this mean? Two very good examples of single mike recordings are Trinity Sessions by Cowboy Junkies, and Jazz at the Pawn Shop (sort of). Pawnshop was recorded with several mikes but they were arrayed as ORTF pairs which are two close set angled outward and each pair is lets say a quasi-single mike. Trinity was recorded with an Ambisonic mike that has 4 cartridges arrayed in a tetrahedron. The example B was done with a Blumlein stereo mike with two cartridges at 90 degrees to each other in one case. The main thing is the actual space and phase information that captures the "image" are preserved with a singe mike. That is why they sound so good.

One is a legendary pure analog recording the other is pure digital.

The brilliant Mercury Living Presence recordings are not single mike, but otherwise minimalist with just three mikes, L, R, and Center.

It is possible in the mix and processing to fake image. Those Supertramp albums have cool effects like a saxophone moving from the back to front and left and right. But that is all studio magic.

Qsound and Dolby Atmos create effects to mimic a sound stage. There are other methods that in your system feed out of phase information through each stereo speaker to cancel out some sounds from the other side and create a virtual headphone effect. These are all fake and frankly work only for a limited listening position. Headphones work too.

This resolves down to getting recordings that are done certain ways to get a good honest image. You may like a given musical performance but the image can be real or fake. An example of a good fake recording is "Diana Krall in Paris." Listen to how the image is portrayed in the mix then look at the photo of the band on stage.

Oh another anti-example is Getz / Gilberto. Very Naive recording some studio ambiance, but Astrud's vocal is hard to one side. Weird, but that is the way it was made. Actually not stereo. I think the original release was monophonic and Stereo was so new.

Fool me once shame on me.
