Free Music Notes for Toto IV (Multichannel/Stereo)
Free Music Review: Recording; Awsome, multichannel; ho-hum.
Hit: 4 Stars
I'll start by saying, Toto is my favorite band of all-time, bar none!
Having said that, I don't think this multichannel SACD got the treatment it deserved. As expected from one of the finest recordings of its time, the stereo track is awesome........but, I and I imagine most, people buy SACD for the multichannel track, and I don't think this one delivers. The only song that is really "opened up" in 5.1 is Africa, every other track appears to just have a bit of reverb or echo here and there. Not the precise localisation of instruments around the listener you get on some other SACD recordings. I must say, my expectations of this SACD was quite high when I heard Elliot Schiener was involved in the 5.1 mix, which makes it even more disappointing having heard some fantastic sounding 5.1 mixes he has done in the past. Eagles, Hell freezes over and Fleetwood Mac, The Dance, to name just two. I only have a few SACD/DVD-AUDIO discs to compare it to, and it falls short compared to the likes of Pink Floyd, Dark side of the moon and The Eagles, Hotel California.
Don't get me wrong, I love this album, and I believe it should be a staple in every bodies record collection, but the multichannel version could have been better.
Cheers, Wags.
