Lee, I haven't listened to Bryan much since back in the days he played with Eno way, way back in the Roxy Music dayz. I'm liking other veins of music more these dayz, but maybe I'll give it a listen? Thanks for the alert!

Rachael,

I guess I was thinking this was more of a good sign that software availability was improving (albeit slowly)...

I'm still waiting for the Roxy Music greatest hits that were announced for SACD 6 months ago

 

[Lee Scoggins]

Brian,

I'm waiting on that one soon. I heard June is the month. That is looking to be a big release month for the Universal music group folks.

It's funny that this came up. I bought the HDCD Avalon. It's funny how quickly they morphed into a... "softer" sound. I still think "Virginia Plain" Rocks. I still think that first album rocks.
Saw that most of their titles have been re-mastered. Country Life now has its more provacative cover.
EDIT - BTW, my purchasing Avalon wasn't really an endorsement. The original CD release was the first CD I bought. I figured I might give it another go, now that it's been remastered. It does sound better; the difference really is unmistakable.
The album itself isn't too bad. But it is nothing like Roxy Music (the debut album), which is highly recommended.

What Lee failed to mention a very important fact.
This title is simultaneous release of CD/SACD/Vinyl and DVD-Audio
I think this is the first title to have simultaneous release on this many formats.
Depending on the recording heritage, this has the potential to be a great comparison disc.
Regards,

Actually John I did mention that it was simultaneous with DVD audio which I also though was remarkable. I just didn't mention CD (who cares?) and LP (likely to not be a good audiophile pressing).
I just hope the music is good

Depending on the recording heritage, this has the potential to be a great comparison disc.

In reality, when one version sounds better than the other, the discussion will turn from PCM vs. DSD to the usual "the same masters weren't used, and therefore blah blah blah blah blah."
