Comment by Ben Leggett - September 14, 2021 (1 of 1)

In my opinion most "rare and expensive out-of-print" SACDs are not worth the expenditure - this is the rare exception.

Unfortunately, most/all of the US regular CD releases of this album were HDCD encoded - and encoded in a way that doesn't take advantage of that format particularly well.

Even the Qobuz digital release is - again - a rip of a HDCD-encoded disc.

That leaves this SACD as the best digital release of this album you can get, even in 2021, even if you ignore the multichannel layer.

And the multichannel layer is excellent.


It's a gigantic shame that this hasn't been reprinted by any boutique labels, like the Pink Floyd discs have.
