A very good album and great music as the reviewers here have emphasised...just two things to emphasise: As with the Columbia Records Kind of Blue, this Columbia release is understated in its use of MC...More for ambiance or to create space around instruments rather than the music is coming from all ... more |

I was originally put off by what I thought to be a "cheesy" cover; two grown men playing cowboys, but
I decided to pick up the CD when I saw it on sale. I was very pleasantly surprised by this album.
It is jazz with Jamaican grooves. The album also claims to have western themes (hence the cowboy ... more |

Even if you don't care for classical music that much, this is a good album to have
if you are looking for something that has a Loreena McKennit/new age flavour with an
international twist. The sounds and melodies are from a selection of different
countries and the music is sublime and ... more |

I think this is a great jazz SACD...I tried to pick one up about a year ago based
on the review I saw here, but the one album my vendor had was sold before I could get
to it. So I only recently got one and yes I think this album certainly deserves
more attention and could easily compete both in ... more |

Well to start with I must say this is the only classical SACD I have...
I collect Jazz and some pop/rock so I am in no position to judge a classical
sacd. However, I do have this to say: It seems to me that this album would work
great with a 5.1 system with full range speakers all around. This is ... more |

| Wow...I think this quest for the luxury of space and obsession with size in the U.S is what is getting the country and hence the world in trouble...bigger homes-bigger mortgage crisis...bigger cars-bigger oil crisis/oil wars...the average U.S citizen equals what?...something like 30 or more Africans in terms of energy consumption? Don't get me ... more |

| As a person interested in listening to quality Jazz or Pop in MC SACD format I think the writing is on the wall...I have just been reluctant to read it. We have a choice of 4000-5000 SACDs as listed on this site. Out of those probably more than half is Classical...that leaves about say 1500...again, if half are stereo only (not MC), that leaves ... more |

| He (Smith) says "Disintegration" will feature a bonus disc of new remixes, and that he's pushing for "Wish" to include a new 5.1 audio mix.
"People seem to want to kill that off, which is a shame," he says of that format. "It's far and away the most fantastic way of listening to music."
Yes..Here I think he is refering to DVD 5.1 surround music ... more |

| Thanks for the replies...I guess it is just a matter of ordering the old from the many choices available on the web...a shame though because I still hold on to the hope of coming across something new in a music store as I go through their Jazz collection, for example. I guess I am a bit old fashioned that way :) ... more |
