This was played way too much around me when it came out in the early 70s. I got sick of hearing it. After having only heard the occasional song played since, I looked forward to this remaster.
The feeling of immediacy is very strong. The details of Cat's singing and the tiny details of instrumental ... more |

The best Bowie SACD, and a disc to demo SACD to my friends. Great material, some songs have considerable power but take several listenings to get to know. There is a wide variety of songs on this album, wider than on any of his others.

Why did they do it? Of the many many possible contenders for a new SACD transfer this seems a very strange choice. Maybe a favourite of a decision maker in Universal Japan?
Listening to this I thought of much better music of the same period - Robert Wyatt, Colosseum, Yes, Gryphon, Jethro Tull, ... ... more |

An excellent SACD remaster. Given the age of the analogue masters the transfer has produced a surprisingly natural and pleasing sound.
If only they had recorded this in DSD ... |

DSD, DXD (plenty of 2L), analogue, PCM and unknown
Every so often I have a burst and reclassify a bunch of SACDs into these categories but still the majority sit in the yet to be classified shelves
This way when a visitor asks to hear SACD I go straight to the DSD recordings and pick ... more |

| A decent set of Nielsen symphonies has been long overdue. I first read about DaCapo's intentions some months ago, and looked forward to these releases. Now that I know they will be recorded in DXD, not DSD, I'm not quite as keen. ... more |

| My 44.1/16 music server is raid 1 with occasional disk copy withdrawal for storage in an independent location.
Any server that takes a long time to rip onto should be at least tolerant of single disk failure.
Has anyone experimented with the SACd ripping code now being shared online? ... more |
