Feist: Metals      (1 of 1 found this review helpful)
  April 3, 2014

A great album that comes recommended if you don't own it already. This Blu-ray is not a night and day dramatic improvement on the redbook but it is seemingly less compressed and very enjoyable, just don't expect a sonic masterpiece, I feel its hamstrung by the original recording.. so a rather ... more

  April 3, 2014

I'll keep it very simple. If you want to own the best-sounding digital disc presentation of Exile On Main Street, this Blu-ray is it.

I personally can discern no audible improvement over the redbook (which is unusual for these HFPA's, many clearly have different and/or or superior mastering to their CD equivalent). ... more
Beck: Sea Change      (5 of 6 found this review helpful)
  April 3, 2014

If you don't already own the superb (now out of print and seriously expensive) SACD of Sea Change, this Blu-ray is a total no-brainer, it sounds equally as terrific in surround as the SACD. The Elliot Scheiner 5.1 mix is extraordinary. I have not played the Stereo on this disc yet I am afraid as I ... more
