Duran Duran: Astronaut      (5 of 5 found this review helpful)
  January 16, 2006

Duran Duran have always been a band I kinda liked. When I saw they released their lasted album on SACD I went for it. Now I wish I didn't. The song are good some of them even great. But then there is the sound quality, which is bad. And when I say bad, I mean really bad. This is one recording that ... more
Lara Fabian: 9      (1 of 1 found this review helpful)

Since I don’t speak a word of French and we don’t get any French artist on Dutch radio it’s always an adventure trying to buy French titles at amazon.fr. The not getting any French artist on Dutch radio is the easy one to fix, thanks to the huge amount of P2P programs out there it’s pretty easy to ... more

This SACD is a collection of songs by different artist and contains some of the most natural sounding voices and music I have heard so far on SACD. But this doesn’t mean I like the album. I got it for free which is always nice but the music on it just doesn’t do it for me.

This is a bit of a strange outing for Traincha (or Treintje Oosterhuis which is her real name). After having a lot of chart success as the singer of the popular Dutch band Total Touch she started a solo career. But she always stayed in the pop scene. A few years back Treintje broadened her horizons ... more

Bill, Glad to hear you do not have the same problems with them, they do have pretty good feedback on Amazon that's why I took the plunge. But if they have no way of knowing they should not sell them as SACD, should they? Marc ... more
Watch out using Amazon marketplace sellers
January 7, 2008
This was my first time using Amazon marketplace but it will be my last. Both SACD's (Herman's Hermits and Animals) turned out to be normal CD's. Seller Import CDs.com clearly has no idea what they are doing. They won't give a refund on the disc that are unpacked, but since the box gives no indication, I had to unpack to find out if this was the ... more
