Bjork coming to SACD
I just noticed Bjork's Vespertine is coming to SACD this coming weekend on the Hong Kong e-tailer layoyo.com's website. While I have heard Bjork titles will be coming to SACD, I didn't realize it was this soon. I checked sa-cd.net and this is not on the "Upcoming" list, and nor is it on Universal's "Upcoming" list of releases here in North America. |

Bjork is on Warner here, so there will be no SACDs here. I wouldn't be surprised to see a DVD-A announcement at some point.
Also, most, if not all of her albums were recorded in PCM. Vespertine is 24/48 PCM.

Yeah, I have the Vespertine DVD-A. Probably close to two years now.
I was referring to the other titles as DVD-A candidates in the states.

Bjork's website is already offering it:
http://pinnacle.bjork.com/#VespertineSACD
Acoustic Sounds is selling it in N. Am. for $29.99.
I'd love to read some reviews before paying that much for it.

From the website:

masterpiece: Vespertine.First in a series of SACD releases of Björk's back catalogue: Debut, Post and Homogenic to follow later in 2004.

I saw it for sale on either Amazon U.K. or France two weeks ago. I bought the DVD-A about a month ago or I would have ordered a copy. Seems like it was cheaper over there....?
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.

I'm itching to get Debut, Post and Homogenic.
I already have the Vespertine DVD-A and CD, unless the SA-CD offers something new, I can't justify getting it.

I'd just buy the Vespertine DVD-A from Circuit City for $13.99 before paying $30 for the SACD. The album was produced in Protools 24/48 PCM.

Well, I took the plunge & ordered Vespertine from Acoustic Sounds for $29.99 plus $5.95 shipping (ouch!). To soften the blow, I added a Ravel SACD for $19.99. Because Acoustic Sounds charges the same shipping fee regardless of how many discs you order, it makes more sense to order at least two.
However, Acoustic Sounds has a release date of March 16, but still lists it as pre-order. Bjork's site still has a March 8 release date. Has anyone actually gotten the disc yet, or seen any reviews?
