Listening to Now In SACD Stereo (or Mono)

[The Rang]

Oliver Nelson - Screamin’ the Blues

Great album, tons of energy

 

[The Rang]

Hampton Hawes - Four!

I continue to be impressed by the Craft Recordings SACDs. On this one Barney Kessel and Red Mitchell are the standouts IMO.

 

[The Rang]

Booker Ervin - The Freedom Book

Good album overall though I find Ervin’s style not quite as pleasing as many other sax players. And the recorded sound of his instrument, pinched and firmly on the left side, takes some getting used to.

 

[The Rang]

Albert King - Born Under A Bad Sign

Really enjoyed this Craft SACD. His voice is mixed really low on a few tracks but that’s OK, kind of adds to the gritty sound.

 

[The Rang]

Eric Dolphy At the Five Spot

Don’t like live albums as a rule, but that stance gets thrown out the window with this one.
Other than the last couple of minutes of Bee Vamp the sound is good

 

[marpow]

What better way to wake up with a song called Sunrise from the 2004 release, Norah Jones-Feels like Home.
This Hybrid Stereo SACD released 2012, DSD64-DSF file. DR's are 11,12's, 13's, 14's.

 

[The Rang]

Lightnin’ Hopkins - Lightnin’

Raw and simple, clearly recorded.
Can really sink into this album.

 

[The Rang]

Jimmy Forrest - Out of the Forrest

Not really familiar with this artist but what a great album. His sax is beautifully recorded.

Linda Ronstadt HEART LIKE A WHEEL [MoFi Stereo SACD remaster] simply gorgeous!

 

[The Rang]

Clandestine Amigo -
Temporary Circumstances

This SACD is from PS Audio’s Octave label.
The music is well crafted and those involved have undoubtedly put their heart & soul into it, but nothing here moved me at all.
The recording is nice enough but doesn’t scream “audiophile” to the degree I expected.

EAGLES THE LONG RUN [MoFi Stereo SACD remaster] Another excellent SACD!

CROSBY STILLS NASH [MoFi Stereo SACD] REALLY hope that RHINO considers this and other CSNY albums as possible NEW albums to remix into QUAD for future release as QUADIO BD~As in 192/24 resolution.

Not gonna happen. Maybe Atmos for streaming or to include in a box set, but the only new quad mixes we'll get these days are from Michael Dutton, @kamranv, and @edisonbaggins.

JJ, if you watched the Rhino QUADIO LAUNCH video recently shot in LA, the three Rhino reps including Foraging Rhino [Steve] did mention RHINO/WEA are currently working on QUAD [yes QUAD] remixes for catalogue titles [new and old?] and one has already been done and all the reps agreed it sounds GREAT.

I'm sure CSN/CSNY will eventually show up with new ATMOS remixes on streaming platforms but perhaps they may show up on physical BD~A QUADIO discs sooner ... than later!

BTW, Crosby Stills Nash and Deja Vu were previously announced in the early 00's for an MLP DVD~A release but never materialized! Sad but true!

Deja Vu release

It was also slated for MQA CD release. That never happened. Truly deja vu happening here

Eric Dolphy - Out There

Apt title for this excellent sounding AP SACD because it’s use of a cello it is “out there” IMO, in a good way.
Have the old domestic Prestige SACD too, this AP is much better.

 

[Quad Linda]

Evenings at the Village Gate - Coltrane w/Eric Dolphy Japan SHM-SACD
Singles Collection - Rolling Stones 3 SACD
All n All - Earth, Wind & Fire Japan SACD

Miles Davis - Bags’ Groove

Had no idea this 1957 album is actually a comp of material from a couple of 1954 sessions originally released on 10” LPs.
I’ve read differing reviews on the sound but other than some issues with Take 2 of the title track I think it’s good on this AP SACD. Sure can’t argue with the music.
