You get to pick five SACDs to show off the potential of the format....

"You get to pick five SACDs"... how can you have misread that?

 

You were close but the thread title is "You get to pick five SACDs to show off the potential of the format.... In other words titles that are already SACDs .

Bill

 

Well.....it's been two weeks since my last confession so I guess timing is everything.

 

Silly me, I forgot one - Steve Davis "Sound Of Silence" on DMP...... Awesome recording.

 

John,

Sound of Silence sure is a fine sounding SACD .

How many Hail Marys will that be .

It's the extraneous "You get to" that got him.

 

It's in similar situations with my wife where I seemingly have no way out that I exclaim "Hey!........I ain't no hula-hoop eyed, chicken neck jive turkey" which creates such an awkward moment that I then make my escape. It did seem like a wish list scenario though. Maybe I should blame society or blame Bush 43, all the kids are doing it.

 

Frantic is great if slightly uneven. Multichannel is very well done. One of my faves and surprised it doesn't come up more often. It also was on DVD audio which I meant to get but never did.

 

I have the Frantic DVD-A as it was available last year from Grooves-Inc for around $30. The SACD is hard to find and the prices are quite high. As far as music content goes I prefer Avalon and Boys and Girls over Frantic. I agree that the Frantic multichannel mix is quite good.

I thought the sacd used the original lp quad mix?

 

I have the 2 dvd set of this and it sounds great, but I guess not as good as the sacd, but it'll have to do!

 

Here's 5 of my favorite SACD's that I don't think have been mentioned :

Propaganda - A Secret Wish <Multichannel>
Doobie Brothers - The Captain And Me <Multichannel>
David Bowie - Heathen <Multichannel>
Talk Talk - The Colour Of Spring <Stereo>
Simple Minds - New Gold Dream <Stereo> <the dvd-a which is multi-channel and has longer mixes is better, though>

Let's make it a six-pack :

Moody Blues - On The Threshold Of A Dream <Multichannel>

 

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bayou Country, Green River & Cosmos Factory in fact all 6 albums on Analogue Productions
Deep Purple - Live At The BBC Audio Fidelity
David Elias - The Window Sketti Sandwhich
Patricia Barber - Cafe' Blue MFSL

 

I have Hayes Soul and Krauss Favorite, but both are sealed. Convince me to pick one to open!

Does anyone think The Kinks Muswell Hillbillies and Misfits stand out?

 

I have Muswell Hillbillies and it does standout.

 

Sonny Boy Williamson Keep it to Ourselves (Analogue Productions) deserves consideration. Anyone else like it?

 

Go for it, open both of them and enjoy !

Bill

 

Disrupting your "the five". Phoebe Snow S/T Analogue Productions.

 

I'd pick the recent Hall & Oates MOFI issues of 'H20' and 'Private Eyes'. They would show how bright and shrill the format can be!

 

There is a multichannel SACD of The Doobies Bros Captain and Me?? I know of the DVD audio but the SACD ??

Wow. Missed that one. How does that compare to the two channel MFSL? I do have that and it is one of my favorite SACDs.

 

I won't go there
But I offer this > http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/doobie-brothers-captain-me-japan-wea-sacd-hybrid-5-1.282090/

The old OOP multi-channel DVD-Audio disks of this fetched a dear price prior to this multi-channel SACD release. After the SACD release the OOP DVD-A plumeted. That alone should tell you much.

If you want Captain and Me in multi-channel I wouldn't hold off on the SACD as it seems to be going OOP. But is still available at a reasonable price.
