SHM-SACD

While never considered an audiophile quality recording, the content of this masterpiece has been a big part of my listening history. At first, I was a bit disappointed that this not being sonically as good as I had hoped. After playing it numerous times, and tho it does sound better, it's the rawness that makes it what I really love about it. It's warm and a bit compressed for a SHM-SACD, but overall an improvement none the less.

This is one of those albums that is etched into my mind, so it's easy to review this as a superb improvement in Sonic quality over any format in owned of this title. The instruments are anchored in space and well defined. I am picking up harmonics I've never heard before. The music is so familiar, but the sound is like listening to it for the first time.
