I agree it's nice and two is more than zero but it's certainly not a bunch. Their new/coming releases only shows one classical SACD and more DualDiscs too - http://www.sonymusic.com/releaseschedule/
When was it that I predicted on-going, token SA-CD suppourt by So-ny? Hmnnn, hot dam, I wish I was wrong more often, and I hope this is the start of a trend.
Aaauh Kevin, don't ya have to commit before you can recommit...?
Commit, as I would define it, would mean 10+ titles a month. That's just slow jogging for an outfit like Sony. I wish Telarc would recommit to SA-CD. I took a long, hard look at the new Junior Brown album today... At first I thought it was a hybrid but then realized it was a dreaded DSD-CD!I threw it back in protest!
And last month Sony approved HDMI v1.2 as digital output for SACD. With the pending release of Playstation 3 and Harman Kardon jumping on the SACD bandwagon, maybe something is happening.
Kevin, they'd have to release extensively to make everybody feel like there were one or two discs a month that they actually wanted, me thinks. The catalog they sit on is like the stars in the sky....
Here's the SACD of Beyonce's Dangerously In Love for US$11.99. This is how the SACD looks like....
This SACD was cancelled by US Sony due to the producers wanting 3X the royalties because the disc contained 3 versions of the same album (CD, hi-rez stereo and multi-channel SACD). However, it was released overseas.
Didn't Beyonce's SACD get negitive reviews? I was going to order it when it was just a import....but those reviews started to come in. But I might get it at 12 bucks than 30 as a import. Wish I waited before ordering that Rory Gallagher SACD. I hope Sony releases some more Billy Joel albums...
