New Customer Review

A Yuji Sakai Godzilla figure is always a real thing for the fans. The value of the figure is monstrous. Great design,paint and scale. Any Sakai figure is a real treat and always worth the money. 5 stars without a doubt.

This massive three-disc set under compiles pristine 2016 European captures along with exclusive 2015 Tokyo tracks. The Japanese SHM-CD manufacturing brings out incredible macro-dynamics—expertly balancing Tony Levin’s growling low-end, Mel Collins' expressive woodwinds, and Fripp's razor-sharp guitar textures. The live rendition of “Fracture” is a jaw-dropping standout on this release. It perfectly translates the natural ambiance of the concert halls, delivering an immersive live experience.

This double CD captures the colossal eight-piece lineup during their iconic night at the Chicago Theatre, marking the return of Bill Rieflin. The crown jewel here is the inclusion of the “Lizard” suite excerpts (“Dawn Song”, “The Last Battle”, “Prince Rupert's Lament”). This Japanese press fixes original mixing limitations, pushing Fripp’s emotional guitar solo on “Lizard” right to the front with breathtaking clarity. Aggressive, heavy, and meticulously balanced, it stands as a mandatory masterpiece for audiophiles.

This Japanese reissue serves as a masterfully curated gateway into the band's shape-shifting eras. The SHM-CD formulation works wonders for a compilation, bridging the sonic gaps between 1969 psychedelic roots and 2000s industrial metal with seamless dynamic balancing. The soundstage is exceptionally deep and transparent, offering surgical separation on intricate tracks like “Discipline.” It is an outstanding release for both newcomers and seasoned collectors looking for a definitive, high-fidelity anthology wrapped in a gorgeous Mini-LP design.

On this album you can enjoy the amazing skills and different styles from three virtuosic guitarlayers: Paco De Lucia with his innovative flamenco guitar technique, John McLaughlin with his stunning speed and, last but not least, Al DiMeola with his distinctive 'deading' of the strings. The interplay (in different duo's and in the end as a trio) is awesome, a genuine "guitar heaven"! The way they follow or challenge each other is so exciting, these three musicians are the absolute summit. They play jazz, rock, blues and of course flamenco and there is even room for humor when they start to play the tune of the Pink Panther, very cool!

Kenny G’s The Moment is an excellent album overall and offers great value at an affordable price. The saxophone has a pleasing tone, and the performances are wonderful. I would have enjoyed it even more if the saxophone had a little more edge and bite to its sound. Still, I’m very happy with this purchase.

Kyung Wha Chung’s Con Amore is an album I love so much that I already own the original CD release, an MQA CD, and three different vinyl editions. I bought this green-coated CD because I wanted to hear this edition, and I’m very pleased with it overall. Her playing is superb, and the sound is beautiful, making this beloved album a pleasure to revisit.

Starker’s recording of Bach’s Solo Cello Suites is a celebrated classic and, in my opinion, a must-have for any collection. The performances are outstanding, and the sound quality is good overall. I only wish the cello sounded a little more vivid and lifelike. Even so, this is a wonderful album that I’m very glad to own.

Excellent sound quality and a wonderful performance by Schiff. The piano sounds clear and natural, with each keystroke beautifully captured. I’m not sure whether the CD’s green coating makes a difference, but the sound feels especially vivid to me. Schiff’s playing is expressive and refined, making Bach’s Goldberg Variations a pleasure to listen to.

This two-CD collection brings together a well-chosen selection of Pires’s signature pieces and movements. Perhaps because of the green coating, the piano sounds especially clear and luminous to my ears. Her performances are, of course, outstanding. My only reservation is that the excerpts sometimes interrupt the emotional flow, making me wish I could hear the complete works. Still, I’m grateful to have so many highlights of her repertoire in one album.

Krystian Zimerman’s recording is my first choice for Chopin’s Ballades. His playing is simply outstanding. I bought this edition because of the CD’s green coating, and the piano sounds wonderfully vivid and clear. It is a pleasure to hear these superb performances in such excellent sound. I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase.

Krystian Zimerman’s recording of Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos is well known, and I already own it on vinyl. I bought this CD because I was curious about its green coating, and I’m very pleased with the clean, clear sound. The performances are outstanding, and Zimerman’s beautiful piano tone comes through wonderfully. Overall, an excellent album with great sound quality.

Bill Evans’s Portrait in Jazz is a famous and well-loved album. I bought this edition because I was curious about the CD’s green coating, and I’m very pleased with the sound quality. The difference compared with my previous CD is not dramatic, but this version sounds a little clearer to my ears. Overall, it is a very enjoyable listen.

Getz/Gilberto is a classic album with many excellent digital versions already available. I bought this CD to try the green-coated edition, and overall, it sounds great. There is a slightly veiled quality to the sound, similar to what I hear in other versions. To my ears, this seems to be a characteristic of the original recording. Overall, I’m pleased with this purchase.

Ella and Louis is one of my all-time favorite albums. I already own a high-resolution digital version and two different vinyl editions, so I bought this CD out of curiosity about its green coating. I’m extremely pleased with it. Ella’s voice sounds wonderfully full-bodied and smooth, with a beautiful, lustrous quality. Listening to this edition has been a real pleasure, and I’m very satisfied with my purchase.

Diana Krall’s Live in Paris offers excellent sound quality and wonderful performances. Her voice is beautifully captured, with its rich texture and subtle nuances coming through clearly. I’m not sure whether the CD’s green coating makes a difference, but the sound feels especially vivid to me. I’m very happy with this CD.

Nat King Cole’s Christmas album is the one I listen to most during the winter season. I already own a high-resolution digital version and a vinyl copy, but I bought this edition to try the SHM-CD. The sound is decent, though it did not quite meet my expectations. I’ve since heard that a green-coated UHQCD edition is coming soon. Had I known, I probably would have waited for that release instead.

Helen Merrill with Strings offers good sound quality and wonderful performances. To my ears, this SHM-CD sounds better than a standard CD, though I’m not sure how much of that comes from the SHM-CD format itself. Compared with the high-resolution digital version, it falls a little short. Overall, it is an enjoyable album, and I’m happy with this purchase.

This variant of Petal is absolutely awesome to own! The OBI design is amazing! Must have for any Arianator!

If you are into Pearl Jam and Nirvana then you got to get this album. Lovley digipack package with obi strip.
