Abbey Road - Blu Ray. 5.1 only, sadly. Unlike many of my surround listening choices, this is universally loved by the whole family. The kids specifically request it.

My five year old likes to sing "I Want You (She's so heavy)".

Michel Legrand has never been well represented on hi res physical disc. His remarkable career included brilliant soundtracks for many a memorable movie and one of my very favorite collaborations was this brilliant 1966 album with Barbra Streisand in which his arrangements are never short of STUNNING

I'm sorry you think you wasted your time on your review. I find your review most thorough and informative. Your specific support really helps this reader understand your p.o.v. I appreciate thorough, heartfelt, and well-supported reviews; hell, I'd give your review a 10! Your review reminded me of a problem I have with some polls. I'm not sure if this Audio Fidelity is a Must Hear:

George Benson Breezin'

The POLL opened in December of 2004. Until August of 2014, the reviewers were rating and commenting on a 2001 DVD-A release. After that point, most, if not all, reviewers are commenting on the Audio Fidelity SACD. There are positive and negative comments on both releases. Ultimately, the poll rates the title as a 7.33. I understand keeping the two releases under one umbrella since the 5.1 mix is the same, but many comment on a fine tuning of the Audio Fidelity release that lessens or eliminates what many found problematic on the DVD-A release. Ima keep listening and decide if this makes my AF Must Hear releases, until then, WRITE ON @Hamilton59 -- I appreciate the time you put into crafting your responses! Stay Surrounded, comrades!

Clement, I must admit to being somewhat of a 'critic' regarding BREEZIN.' I own both the Warner's MLP DVD~A with bonus tracks [which admittedly sound BETTER than the album itself] and the AF 'corrected' mch SACD [sans bonus tracks] and I was still disappointed in the overall sonics. I have read this was somewhat of an audiophile 'darling' among vinyl purists but feel this remix hardly captured that 'spark.' It still sounds laid back and doesn't have the sonic thrill I anticipated. Compared to other DVD~As and AF mch SACDs, I suspect it had to do with the masters supplied to both factions from Warner .........

Doubtful we'll ever hear the sonic sparkle vinyl purists experienced as Breezin' has had two surround releases so I suppose the AF SACD will ultimately remain the better of the two...but, IMO, hardly DEFINITIVE!

Max Cooper's EMERGENCE. Whoa! As it started with simple geometric forms, I found myself listening more to the Atmos mix -- very cool -- but as the figures and music became more involved, I found myself mesmerized by what was unfolding before my eyes, as sight and sound merged in a cosmic evolution of, well, everything!

Unlike most "novelties," I can see myself watching this again and again: it made me think I could almost understand higher mathematics, as the cosmic threads became galaxies became black holes, and worms and jellyfish emerged from the same principles.

A recommended head trip! Made me yearn for the intoxicants of my college years -- but it wasn't necessary!
