SACD David Elias "The Window" Nice!!

I am sure this SACD has been covered but I would like to give my props to David Elias, an independant who took an acoustic folk band and recorded it in a studio, pure DSD including mixing.

This SACD sounds extremely good. Normally I don't pay attention to folk but the music, in addition to the high recording fidelity, is very nice.

Here is a link to CDbaby where you can listen to a few clips and order: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/elias5

Yes it was covered - http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...ighlight=elias

But very well recorded. Besides CDbaby, I believe it (the disc) is available at Acoustic Sounds and Elusive Disc

Thanks Phil. I just wanted to bring it back up for those new here.

He sort'a reminds me of Bob Dylan with the politics and such extracted, sort'a...

Rachael, the big disc cat! I used to be looking for Hi-Vision Laserdiscs & D-Theater tapes, now I'm looking for HD-DVD's and Blu-rays.

I survived the AFI top 100 Film Challenge! I've seen them all.

Very nice sound, very nice music. Seems like a nice guy too. Posts on another forum sometimes and has an interesting outlook.
I'm looking for more of his work.

I like to live in an altered state/ it makes me love all the things I hate.

Tom, I have not listened to his other stuff, but noted that towerrecords.com has a few other CDs.

I really love song 12, "The Window" A bit somber. It is a nice shift through the set from the more upbeat songs upfront to the later songs with a bit more pain in his voice.

He does seem like a nice guy, he sent me an email after I ordered the disk and asked me a few questions. It is very pure music, recorded by an acoustic band with little processing (at least it doesn't sound like much) and heartfelt lyrics and sound.

I hope everyone can have a listen!

I have enjoyed this album also. Well recorded and a good musician. Highly recommended.
