I have a CD-4 conversion of this one. I already voted a big, fat 10. SO BLESSED to now have it on Blu-ray . . . and an Atmos mix to boot! Today, i'm blissed out on the Quad!
Morelenbaum2/Sakamoto LIVE IN TOKYO 2001 {Warner Japan/MLP DVD~A 5.1/96/24] An absolutely exquisite set from Paula Morelenbaum VOCALS, Jacques Morelenbaum CELLO, Ryuichi Sakamoto PIANO and Luis Brasil VIOLAO. 15 tracks sung in Portuguese and the musical accompaniment is sublime.
