Actually, I hope that practice is not adhered to by anyone! What you have just described is not a commentary, it is a "Making Of..." interview. It belongs in a Special Features Second Disk, preferably with the image of the person being interviewed, so that you can see the facial expressions...
(1) Thank you very much for the time and energy spent on this list.
(2) Please use the same larger font - currently used only for the dated upcoming releases - for all of the movie titles, whether recently released, or in production.
Some of the smaller typeface is barely legible to me.
Thanks!
Please ignore the Director's Cut ! We are fortunate that the original concert film is included on the DVD. Go directly there - it is in "features". The Director's Cut pretty much destroys all the virtues of the original terrific film. One of the best aspects of the original film is that...
Black Sabbath - the classic album is "Paranoid", which has their two or three biggest hits. IMHO, their best is "Black Sabbath IV". As far as the others, you can't go wrong with the expanded, deluxe CD version of The Who - Live at Leeds. And an absolute must-have top-of-the-pile is the new...
- Led Zeppelin's How the West Was Won (1972) was released a few days ago on DVD-Audio (it is 48/24, btw). The reason this came out first, is that they worked on both the CD and the DVD-A at the same time. IMHO (and many other fans' as well), this album is their best live material. However, I...
I find it interesting that paintings and art books don't come in a package of music... In other words, at Fine Art Forum, there is no similar thread entitled:
www.cheap-cds.com is always one to check - they don't do pre-orders at all, but the prices can be good, and they ship so that it arrives on release date (check on Friday). At DeepDiscountDVD, search for "dvd-a" and "audio" as well -the "data entry" for the title information is very...
Wait for both Buffy Season Five and Angel Season Two to be in your hands. Watch Buffy Season Five Episode One, then Angel Season Two Episode one. Then BtVS S5 episode TWO, then Angel S2 episode TWO, and so on. When Buffy Seasons 4 & 5 and Angel Seasons 1 & 2 were originally aired, they...
My favorite "default" listening: Ministry of Sound Internet Radio My recommendation for best "electronica" (not electronic - that term does refer to the aforementioned Tangerine Dream/Tomita genre) album is Out There And Back by Paul Van Dyk (his other albums are also good).
I would buy virtually any Trevor Pinnock or Christopher Hogwood recordings that were transferred to SACD. These include the definitive recordings of Handel's Water Music and Messiah, amongst a wealth of other fine performances. I only see availability of "pop classical" recordings by big...
Actually, since someone else has revived this thread, I'll comment that I have now listened to the SACD layers of this release (I came across a used Sony SACD player that was available inexpensively due to a malfunctioning LCD display). My impression of the stereo SACD layer is that the same...
Hello, While surfing, I came across a great thread which should give SACD (and DVD-A) fans an idea of why these formats are not very successful. The people in the thread are amongst those who (outside of dedicated audiophiles) should have the most motivation to be interested in SACD. So...
Okay, I've compared "Wouldn't It Be Nice" on the following Pet Sounds Capitol disks: - DVD-A mono track - DVD-A stereo track - DVD-A multichannel track - 1990 Mono CD - 1996 Pet Sounds Sessions CD Stereo track - 1999 CD Mono track - 1999 CD Stereo track ( I don't have the Hoffman DCC...
My educated guess is that current SACD players will not play SACD II disks, but that SACD II players will play all older SACD disks. Look at the precedents. If 5 years ago, you bought an expensive Sony ES "CD" player, it doesn't play the new format disks, ie SACD. But, the new Sony SACD...
One feature of this disk which should be in all DVD-A's is that there is an option to automatically display the lyrics for the section of the song being played. In other words, you can select that option, put away the remote, and the TV monitor will automatically advance the lyrics display as...
