Free Music Review: A classic album (CD) made more...interesting.
Hit: 4 Stars
There's not a lot more to actually say about the CD itself; its a classic in blues/rock that still gets me jumpin'.
The only thing left to do with it is to "refresh" it, by improving the resolution, and debatably, making it a multi-channel format. Well, they succeeded on one front, in that the resolution is as superb as sacd will allow, in other words, outstanding. Mind you, this is before the recording engineers of today RUINED rock and pop recordings by increasing the dynamic range until everything is distorted and un-listenable, so this sounds quite good.
Where there is debate however is the multi-channel mixing of the sacd. Is it your cup of tea? Its not always mine, simply because I don't like to hear the rhythm guitars in the rear; I like to hear my music (usually) in stereo...centered in the front. Also, the multi-channel mixing is up to the taste of the engineers or the band--they decide WHAT goes WHERE: Do the vocals go in the center channel, or through the main speakers? Where do the guitars, drums, background vocals go? Its all up for interpretation. At its best multi-channel mixing DISAPPEARS and is unobtrusive--everything just blends in and creates a immersive wall of sound. At its worst, its corny, gimmicky, and the instruments don't fit in. This mix lies somewhere in between...its not bad, just not the best I've ever heard. What makes it worth buying is that you can finally hear this classic in sacd detail. And besides, you can always down-mix it to sacd stereo if you want. You decide. Hey, you might LOVE the multi-channel mix anyway.
The other con is that it is ONLY playable on a sacd player...this is NOT a hybrid disc.
