The Carpenters Singles SACD. Sounds great and Karen's voice has no comparison. Nice action in the rears. Did I hear some tape hiss?

Yes, it's a good Multichannel SACD - tape hiss and all...

Junior Brown's Multichannel SACD "Down Home Chrome" - a Surround Sound Direct Stream Digital (DSD) recording by Telarc's Michael Bishop.

It features Brown's home-made "guit-steel" - a combination Electric Guitar + Steel Guitar and some hilarious country songs (Two Ron's Don't Make It Right, Hill Country Hot Rod Man, Little Rivi Airhead) along with his tribute to Jimi Hendrix' "Foxy Lady"!


Down Home Chrome - Junior Brown (Telarc Multichannel SACD-63612)

You can still pick this one up as a new SACD at Amazon.Com for $24.14. Worth a listen.

Great fun disc - I had the priviledge of seeing Junior play at SXSW in Austin, TX a few years ago - an amazing player - he can go from down home chicken pickin to Hendrix in a heartbeat - here's a few shots of Junior and his "guitsteel" from the show.

It's not your typical Multichannel SACD from Telarc! A lot of fun....

An excellent Multichannel SACD featuring singer Jacintha in her tribute to Julie London - along with her take on Light My Fire by the Doors.
Jacintha is backed by an all-star band and the sound of the music and her vocals is crystal clear.


Jacintha Is Her Name: Dedicated to Julie London (Groove Note Multichannel SACD GRV 1014-3)

The Multichannel SACD is in stock and available from Elusive Disc for $24.99

I've had several Jacintha SACDs on my shopping list for years but not got round to getting any of them, how's the surround mixes on these discs? ambient? double stereo? discrete? it's not a deal breaker either way just curious. Thanks!

The SACD has some surround elements. And it's a direct to DSD recording so the sonics are excellent as well. Unique for a rockabilly/country album.

Just a word of mild caution - while I truly enjoy this disc & would jump at any opportunity to see Junior perform live, this is for the most part, straight ahead, roadhouse country music ala Merle Haggard - with a few heavy doses of corn. With the exception of the few uptempo tracks where Junior cuts loose, it's a pretty laid back affair. Like Brian says, its an excellent recording with some discrete elements that are in line with the style of music.

Yes, a lot of corn. But who can resist a rockabilly Surround Sound album with songs like "Two Rons Don't Make It Right" ?!

On the songs, you can check Amazon.Com for some brief previews of each one in the MP3 section on the album. This is a good way to check and see if the music matches your tastes.

The mix isn't strictly ambient, with some nice musical accents in the surround channels. But the focus is on the vocals and they are very clear and compelling. My favorite Jacintha Multichannel SACD is her bossa nova album. But this one has excellent performances and sonics as well.

Positive Feedback's review of the SACD notes "This album is a sheer joy to listen to from the first note. This may be Jacintha's best album yet. The silky, smooth, and sensuous voice of Jacintha is reproduced with an utterly natural quality, revealing every nuance of her phenomenal intonation, phrasing, breath control, and vocal modulation."
