Robert Reed - Sanctuary II (Virtual Surround - FLAC) [ADHDerby]







Virtual Surround is a technology which allows you to listen to music, watch movies, or play video games with surround effects using any set of two channel stereo headphones. I'm a big surround music fan and made this album so I can listen it in surround through headphones on a portable player. The sources of this release are the surround versions of the tracks ripped from the DVD-A release. I've converted them to virtual surround with Creative's BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro. Using state-of-the-art technology, it gives an enhanced virtual 7.1 channel surround sound experience with regular stereo headphones.

Continuing Rob Reed’s (Magenta/Kompendium/Kiama/Chimpan A) musical homage to and fascination with the early music of Mike Oldfield, Sanctuary II is very much a Robert Reed album that makes use of the instrumentation and recording techniques favoured by Oldfield on his ingenious early 1970s albums.



If you love Oldfield's early albums of long compositions, and wish that he'd kept producing more music of that style, then you'll appreciate what Robert Reed has managed to do with the Sanctuary albums. Reed deeply "gets" what Oldfield was doing, and has replicated most of the compositional and performance techniques, down to the vintage sound of the instruments.



Sanctuary II features the distinctive presence of legendary drummer’s drummer, Simon Phillips (Toto/Mike Oldfield/The Who).



This release contains 8 bonus tracks: "Willow Song" ripped from the Sancuary Live DVD and 7 tracks from the Bonus CD.
