Vinyl LP pressing. 2016 release from the veteran New Zealand musician. M: Darkmotif Dancehall, the second platter in a four album collection, is the most experimental. It's been over a decade since Roy Montgomery's last album, and R M H Q is a hell of a return. This release contains four distinct records of new material. Listening to any of his work is a visceral experience - repeating phrases swell and decay, immersing the listener in the cyclical narrative of his compositions. Montgomery was in his rock band period in the eighties, when the dark, minimalist post-punk of The Pin Group lead into the gloriously open-ended freedoms of Dadamah. After a quiet spell, he returned in the late nineties, producing towering spires of guitar lines that exposed fragility between the strums. With his solo releases and in collaboration with Flying Saucer Attack, Bardo Pond (Hash Jar Tempo), and Chris Heaphy (Dissolve), his focus shifted from the truth-mining of rock music to epic celestialism. His ambitious yet humble tracks outstrip their origins, and Montgomery toured the world sitting cross-legged on the floor, playing twenty-plus-minute compositions. A long period of silence followed, marked only with a split album with Grouper (who lists Montgomery as a primary influence), involvement in Torlesse Super Group, and a couple thematic variations serving as soundtracks for films. Instead, he focused on his personal and professional commitments. Unfortunately, two horrific events preceded his return: the Christchurch earthquakes of 2011 condemned Montgomery's entire neighborhood save for his home, stripping his street of a community; and, as a volunteer firefighter, he saw first-hand the destruction and loss of life in the city center. Additionally, since 2014, illness in the family has dominated his life. Self-expression once again demanded an outlet. R M H Q is four albums conceived and recorded over a very short period, each of them carrying a distinct focus and mood.

Excellent sound and function
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
We're very pleased with this unit. We use a 3.1 system in our TV area, stereo plus center channel and subwoofer. It's nice that this unit supports that. We get very nice imaging from this, and don't really miss the surround speakers.
**We had to replace the old HDMI cables with new ones that could handle the larger bandwidth of 4K. If you're cables are 5-10 years old like ours, newer cables are required to carry a modern video signal.
We like the Yamaha sound, and are able to EQ it easily to sound right for the room. I've used several receivers over the years of various brands. Yamaha consistently delivers good sound and reliable product. I've never had a Yamaha product fail and fewer than 15 years.
There are other units out there with more gadgets and gizmos, bills and whistles, not to mention smoke and mirrors. We want a good sounding reliable unit that plays nice with all of our AV sources and TVs. If that's what you're looking for, look no further than this unit right here.
If you get a good price on this, it's unbeatable.
Sony, Onkyo, Denon, Marantz, etc. - they all make good units with signature sounds. If you aren't familiar with them, and If you can't listen to a bunch of stuff, buy this with confidence.
Here's an unsolicited recommendation: high quality speakers will do more to improve your listening experience than any receiver. If you're looking for an upgrade, start with your front speakers.

Love my Yamahas
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
RX 385 replaces my much-loved 10 year old RX 375, which I inadvertently fried while experimenting.
The 385 has some newer features, including bluetooth. The old model and this both use the handy YPAO function to tune the audio speakers' depth of field to the listening environment. It's a broadcast mic that you just plug into the front of the receiver for a few seconds to determine each speakers' distance from viewer. Kind of a sonic echo measurement of seating to speaker. It's a foolproof, remarkably clever, timesaving gizmo. The YPAO mic is absolutely included with this unit, looks like a little plastic cone.
Also important to me, Yamaha has replaced the old spring clips for rear/side speakers, which are now the better screw and cap posts, as they have always been for the two front speakers.
I recommend rocketfish HDMI 4k/8k cables to connect this receiver to your tv and to whatever other components you want, such as a bluray. Sound quality is excellent if your speakers are good. (I like KEFs.)
Of course you may prefer wireless speakers, but I'm already committed to wired ones. I used rocktfish banana plugs to connect my speaker wires to the RX 385 receiver's speaker posts. Neat and clean.
With a choice of 2 front, 2 rear, 1 center speaker, plus one coaxial plug in for a subwoofer, your movies and programs are going to sound far more detailed and staged than you'd get from the tv or a sound bar. It's a more immersive and compelling experience. (I use only 2 fronts and 2 rears and don't feel I'm missing anything.)
Yamaha receivers and other components are my favorites: relatively inexpensive, well designed, solidly built, and not fussy to install. If you find yourself in a pickle there are a couple of helpful youtube videos.
I find with the RX385 again that Yamaha does not disappoint me.
