Hi everyone,

Yes, I know this is an SACD site and the chosen format is DVD-Audio, but I would still like to know if anyone has purchased either the Nightfly and/or Perception box set and if so, could you share with the rest of us your feedback?

Could this mean that DVD-A is not actually ... quite ... dead ... yet?

Hey Dan,

I have all of the Fagen and new Steely Dan in DVD-A (Nightfly, Kamakiriad, Morph the Cat, Two against nature and Everything must go) and they are all exceptional. The recordings are all top notch and the 5.1 Surround mix just plain demonstration level (varied and tasteful). A good comprison is Gaucho which I also have on SACD. Many of them were very difficult to fing so I wish I had known they would be reissued as a boxset.

I don't have the Doors Perception boxset but I do have L.A. Woman on DVD-A. The sound is good and improved but the 5.1 Surround mix although interesting is not a major incentive to buy it in this format. It's nowhere near the quality of the ones above.

Hi,

the Doors Perception Box was news one year ago.

The sound quality is excellent and I only listen to the 5.1 mix because they are excellent.

PS. DVD-A "died" already some years ago = record companies lost interest

The doors box is excellent, but can also be ordered in a much cheaper version, which is - concerning the sound - exactly the same.

Canadian members of sa-cd.net can rejoice...

Steely Dan will be performing for the first time at the 2008 Montreal Jazz Festival. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, March 6 at steelydan.com...

Sorry, I work for TicketMaster so I have to keep an eye out for things like this...

Cheers,

Dan

The Donald Fagen set does not contain DVD-A but MVI discs, which are DVD-Video discs.
