The CD+DVD-Audio of Porcupine Tree's Lightbulb Sun arrived on Fri. Heard the album in 5.1 in one sitting yesterday. Wow...

I heard over the summer that the great Paul Bishow, producer of the many fantastic hi-res titles for UMG, is no longer with the company. *sigh*

Man, another good one. Just got an advance copy... Telarc is hitting 'em out of the park lately. Hot on the heels of the phenomenal "Ray Sings, Basie Swings," we've got the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet's "Brazil," also to be released September 25, 2007. The music is intoxicating. The...

I much prefer this release, but that's just MHO. I think they actually complement each other, but if I had to pick one - this one would be it. These are jewels of Charles' vox performances from the mid-1970s placed in newly-recorded big band arrangements from the Count Basie Orchestra. He's...

Once in a while, we get a jem of a surround release. Lately, it seems these moments are few and far in between. Bless Telarc and Concord for the hi-res surround version of Ray Charles and The Count Basie Orchestra's "Ray Sings, Basie Swings", to be released September 25. More often than not...

Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow SACD. From the original quad mix. Awesome. Can't believe I waited so long to get this one. Highly recommended!

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Rage Hard: The Sonic Collection.

Isn't that a great release? What a coda for Brecker...

If you're into Bartok, the recently released String Quartets 1&2 on Praga with the Parkanyi Quartet is mightily impressive on all counts: warm, highly detailed surround mix; magnificent playing. Kudos!

Michel Camilo's upcoming release on Telarc, Spirit of the Moment, is outstanding. First-rate recording of a hot jazz-trio, captured live to stereo and surround simultaneously in the hi-res native multi-channel Sonoma DSD Workstation by Robert Friedrich. This and the recent release of Tierney...

Why thank you, Lee. Hey, I learn just as much from the good folks on this forum!

Heads up...Fragile is back in stock at CDUniverse. Bought it for a buddy of mine who had procrastinated until he couldn't find it anymore!

Tierney Sutton's new SACD, "On The Other Side," is quite remarkable. The surround mix is subtle, but the performances, production, and engineering are outstanding. Sutton's ironic, dark interpretations of songs about happiness is impressive indeed. "Get Happy" (version 1) is damn near...

I can't go into details and specifics, but I wouldn't hold my breath for new UMG titles on SACD (which is not really news, is it?). No info on status of currently available product. Have heard nothing re: Blu-ray, etc.

Just ordered the UMG Elton John SACDs. I just found out that we won't be seeing SACDs from UMG going forward, so I'm stocking up on what's left.

Just got these in the mail from the good folks at Telarc... The Never Ending Waltz - an hour or so of 40+ waltzes strung together in a non-stop segue. It is quite a dreamy disc and I loved it! Also just started spinning Sibelius' "Kullervo," and was quite impressed with the work and the...

No prob. Just ordered my Stranger too. Late to the game. Whew...
