Day Breaks [SHM-SACD] [Limited Release]Norah JonesWide range of instruments featuredGreat audio! Various brass and woodwind instruments featured. Also piano. There are a few instrumental passages that sound superb. SACD brings out the dynamic range of Norahs voice against this wide variety of backing music. Highly recommended.

The Fall [SHM-SACD] [Limited Release]Norah JonesLively fun listening plus dogs themesI find this album a joy to listen to front first track to the very last woof! Dog themes throughout. Music that gets my toes to tapping. Great Voice from Norah Jones and many lyrics to enjoy. I think it's one of Norah Jones best albums. SACD brings great sound. Well-engineered. Recommended.

Not Too Late [SHM-SACD] [Limited Release]Norah JonesSolid performance kind of blueThe music and lyrics seem more like blues than the jazzy spirit I usually receive when listening to Norah Jones. The music is good, Norah's voice is beautiful as every and the sound engineering is excellent. The mood and lyrics presented is not my favorite Norah Jones effort.

Feels Like Home [SHM-SACD] [Limited Release]Norah JonesSmooth jazz Sweet vocals Deep bass linesMy first Norah Jones CD. I enjoyed the variety of tempos and subject matter of the lyrics. Favorite song is "What AM I to You". The music is great. Especially the bass guitar. The vocal are just right in this song.

Berlioz Symphonie fantastique [SHM-SACD] [Limited Release]Herbert von Karajan (conductor)Long due SACD remasteringAlthough the recording itself is well-known, this new SACD enables you to enjoy it in all its full glory. Compared to the latest remastering for the Karajan 70s box, this new edition sounds warmer and in fact really full-bodied compared to the somehow anemic Karajan 70's CD. It's quite obvious for me that the remastering also includes a completely new remix.

Offenbach Gaite Parisienne, Gounod Faust Ballet Music: Karajan / Berlin Philharmonic [SHM-SACD] [Limited Release]Herbert von Karajan (conductor)An hour of untarnished pleasureWhat's not to like with this? The music itself is pure joy and entertainment. This new SACD presents it due to the new DSD remastering in the most rewarding way in my opinion. Compared to previous CD releases, the overall sound is more enveloping.

Breakfast In America [SHM-SACD]SupertrampExcellentBreakfast in America by Supertramp sounds clear and spacious on SHM SACD, much better than the MFSL version. I love this album and can't get enough of the closing track, Child of Vision, fantastic!
-
Brothers In Arms [SHM-SACD]Dire StraitsSurprise soundThis SHM SACD completely surprised me, what an incredible spatial and clear sound quality. so much better than the dull and lackluster sounding MFSL release and certainly much better than the 29th Anniversary release, buy this SHM - SACD, just to listen to the difference with your other CDs.
-
Wheels Of Fire [SHM-SACD]CreamLive performances shine in SACDExcellent sound engineering has given us several historic live performances by Cream. The 16 minute live version of Spoonful has guitar and drum solos that never sounded better. The studio portion of the album includes the hit White Room but not much else. I find several songs hard to listen to, as they lack meaningful lyrics and bland music. Still a great value with 17 tracks and about 90 minutes of running time.

Songs From The Big Chair [SHM-SACD]Tears For FearsHitalbumHit album from Tears for Fears on super Audio cd, with their hits Shout, Everybody Rules The World in a great sound
-
Goodbye [SHM-SACD]CreamSome good, some averageThe version of "Badge" on this SHM-SACD release is very good. The rest of the performances are average. This album is a great piece of history. Perhaps not the best performance or sound engineering of this famous group.
-
Return To Forever [SHM-SACD]Chick CoreaExcellentI have all of the vinyls, decided to take the SACD as well. I like it a lot. Reccomend this to others.
-
Wheels Of Fire [SHM-SACD]CreamExcellentI like all of Cream albums. I have the vinyls but decided to take the SACD as well. Reccomend his albums.

Music Inspired By The Snow Goose [SHM-SACD]CamelExcellentVery good album. I reccomend to others. I appreciate the first album the most. So decided to took the SACD.

Fresh Cream (Stereo & Mono) [SHM-SACD]CreamHistoric classic rock foundation albumThe first album from an early super group in the classic rock category. This release brings the best sonic versions of 13 songs. However, the source material limits even what SHM-SACD can deliver. This SHM-SACD version captures all songs related to the UK, USA, German and Scandinavian "Fresh Cream" album releases, plus six songs from the French EP release. Subsequent album releases from Cream will see improved production and sound engineering results. A good addition to a classic rock collection. 19 songs, mono and stereo 89 minutes running time
