Listening to Now In SACD Stereo (or Mono)

[The Rang]

The music is very good as is the sound.
But awful vocals IMO, yelling/rapping too fast, buried in the mix and therefore hard to follow.
An acquired taste for sure.
With a different vocalist I’d love this disc

 

[Clement]

i love the taste--the music is even better!

Wish MoFi had done more Ry Cooder SACDs. I doubt the sales on the three that did come out warrant more

Like the Latin/Fusion thing but found the sound a bit coarse and grainy. Noticed it immediately. Old tapes I suppose.
Still, I enjoyed the disc

Played it again, should have left out the coarse and grainy comment. It’s fine. Maybe just a bad day for my ears first time around.
It happens sometimes

I agree. It's not one of the better sounding reissues from the Quad era.
I suspect the old tapes, as you note, from the 1970s are a big part of the reason why. But then again, the recordings are from 50 years ago....

Well, not on digital anyway, but if you can play SQ LPs - yes! One of my favorite Dylan albums; the SQ is just OK, if it would be drawn from the masters into a new SACD, maybe very good

hoo boy--that's all my ever-dwindling retirement dollars need: investment in more hardware and then LPs! i'll just keep pumping things through neural X (and saving for more speakers to finally get that surround master 2 up and running--grr!)
