Björk: Vespertine        (5 of 5 found this review helpful)
  April 3, 2004

What a journey! If you are a fan of Björk... this is one SACD that you've no doubt been waiting for. If you want to experience what a good pop multichannel mastering can do for your set up... this SACD should be on the top of your list! I've been to waiting to grab hold of this SACD, as I've ... more
