UltraMedia, Inc. Staff Favorites - Movies and music to showcase your system.

Designer and Operations Manager Chris Raso likes these DVDs for drawing out the best qualities of a sound and video system:

• Saving Private Ryan
• Master and Commander
• Diana Krall LIVE in Paris
• Open Range (great audio in the shoot-out scene)

Chris uses these CDs to demonstrate the best of what an UltraMedia, Inc. sound system can do:

• “Live in Paris” by Diana Krall (great live recording)
• “The Gates of Instanbul” off Loreena McKennitt's An Ancient Muse (Bonus Track Version) This is a great song for testing your sub-bass system.
• “Stranger Things” by Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians. (I've never been much of a fan, but this CD has some really nice-sounding songs.)

Designer and Project Manager Mike Brock enjoys using these movies for audio/video demos, saying they do a great job of utilizing all the aspects of a great theater:

• The Fifth Element -“Regeneration” scene
• Finding Nemo
• The Incredibles Star Wars - The Pod Race
• Open Range - opening rain scene, and the gunfight

President Pat Johnson’s favorite demo DVDs are:

• Open Range
• Flags of our Fathers
• Saving Private Ryan (perhaps better enjoyed by male viewers)
• any Pixar animated movies – great for families

Pat enjoys using concert videos to demonstrate a great system’s audio and video combined:

• Santana’s Supernatural
• HDNet’s Friday Night Concerts
• Eagles’ Hell Freezes Over

One of the things Valerie Johnson enjoys about flat-screens is their dual function as art displays. The TV is no black hole when Pat and Val entertain. For years they have displayed interesting photos during a party. Now, there are high-definition DVDs offering everything from magnificent pictures of space to reproductions of the Masters. Check these out for some crystal-clear, dynamic ways to enjoy your special interests, or show off your good taste!

• Space Spectacular – 60 eye-popping photos from the NASA archives
• The Art of Leonardo Da Vinci – some classics, some pleasing surprises
• The Art of Claude Monet – his landscapes shimmer on the screen
• Exotic Saltwater Aquarium – all the beauty, and no maintenance
• The Amazing World of National Geographic – from cityscapes to insects
• 1,000 Places to See Before You Die – brilliant compositions and vivid hues

Go to galleryplayer.com or hdscape.com for more ideas! Blu-Ray releases were released fall of 2007. Another fave: HD-Net Concerts (www.hd.net/music.html). Better than being there.
