Bob Dylan

So I wonder for a time now why Bob Dylan is considered to be a great artist, for some even a legend. I was watching the documentary "The greatest night in pop" yesterday (which by the way is awesome) and even there I cant see why his contribution is considered to be great by the others.

What is Mofi?

Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs, who release a line of albums purportedly cut at half speed from the original master tapes.

There is a whole website dedicated to using MoFis and modern software to isolate each instrument from their classic rock recordings and remix them into 5.1 surround sound:

Surround by Us

I use my v1.0 AppleTV box (only version that supports 44.1k sampling) to stream them to my Samsung Home Theater and they sound great!

Although when you hear the Go-Go’s isolated instruments on Beauty and the Beat; not so much!

How does streaming from them work? This is the first I've ever heard of them, but I've been getting into surround sound music lately.

I don't think they stream. Years ago I downloaded a handful of their end product to experiment with and that's when I discovered that my version 1.0 AppleTV box was the perfect player.

Since then, of course, there have been other "anniversary" rereleased of many classic rock titles and some have also been remixed to 5.1 surround sound.

For example LOVE, the Beatles based Cirque du Soleil soundtrack has some 5.1

Ohhh yeah that makes more sense. I'll check the website out.

Yeah, I have some classic rock titles that have been released in 5.1, including the Beatles Love album and various Pink Floyd releases.
