• Best Surround Sound albums of 2004....according to your Grammy...

  Grammy nominees for best surround sound album of 2004 are in....here... Roxy Music's "Avalon" (SACD), Ray Charles' "Genius Loves Company" (SACD), Mahler's "Symphony No. 4" (SACD), Bonnie Raitt's "Nick of Time" (DVD-A), and Ladysmith Black Mambazo's "Raise Your Spirit Higher" (SACD) as surround sound recordings of 2004...The ceremony takes place on February the 13th, 2005. Unfortunately; I suspect this awarding will occur off camera and will only be mentioned on Grammy's captioning ticker...!
