My friend Ron Wheeler reviews Bachman-Turner Overdrive, remastered in surround sound:
"So in spite of a couple of slight annoyances, its a pretty good transfer. Later on, the engineer pulls a rotational effect on "Free Wheelin'". The section begins with power chords flashing between the front and rear channels followed by a lone lead dipping between the left and right front channels and then he sonically spins the whole soundscape 90 degrees effectively transporting the listener from their couch to the drum stool. Hey I wouldn't have believed it either...but I was madly flaying away on the air drums at the time and the spin gave me a taste of stagefright. Deeper in; "Second hand" has a left-laned lead guitar speed around the room paying particular attention to each of the 4 corners. And on the last track, it's flat-out 5.1 boogie..it had me replicating Arlo Guthrie's crazy Woodstock dance...in my wheelchair...like some kind of a wheeling-spinning-whirling-dervish..."
Ah, music...

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
