This album is a natural for multichannel, and I knew that Trent would impress with the MC mix. The only question in my mind was whether the hi-rez could improve the digital nature of the recording. As one of the the reviewers from amazon.com points out, doubters need only listen to the bass drum on ... more |

When I heard that the 4.0 surround mix of this sacd had a guitarist in each speaker, I envisioned some missing scene from a Robert Rodriguez film where 4 mariachis meet at the cross-roads and the listener is caught in the cross-fire. Thankfully, this sacd is not like that, and there is very little ... more |

I second everything the previous reviewer wrote. All I can add is that the presence of the instruments is so good, if you close your eyes you just might see Snoopy doing his dance in the middle of the room. |

I was dubious as to whether this sacd would be worth the extra money, as the Universal website showed a low bit rate for the DVDa, which I assumed would mean a low bit rate PCM master. My initial impression on the stereo sacd confirmed my doubt. However, one listen to the multichannel layer and I ... more |

Have to agree with everything the previous reviewer said. However, while the bass certainly stands out on this disc, I don't think there's a dedicated .1 channel direct to the sub.

| Try these:
Classic discs:
1) Bill Evans Trio -- Sunday at the Village Vanguard (Analogue Productions hybrid stereo) -- this one will set you back $20+, but in terms of both sonics and music, I vouch that it's worth every cent. This is piano, bass, and drums -- jazz in perhaps its most fundamental form, which is perfect for getting a feel of ... more |

| Thanks Tjobbe. Sounds good. Now I just have to wait for the dollar to rise against he euro -- amazon.de wants almost as much to ship the cd to the states as they want for the cd itself. If you hear the MC mix, I'd be interested to know if it's "adventurous" or not. ... more |
