The must have SACD!

"Without a doubt, this is the quisessential SACD for all SACD lovers. The sound on this disc is mindblowing and the warmth and clarity of the recording is flawless in all aspects. The discrete 5.1 surround mixing is done very tastefully and it's almost like being right there in the recording studio with all the instruments/vocals surrounding you in sheer bliss. All tracks on this SACD are brilliant and I think Ken did a great job in picking these selections from the magnificient Telarc/Heads Up SACD range. What's more, Ken gives you detailed info on the surround recording of each track telling you which instrument goes into which channel and the highlights to look out for in each track too. Check out the track from Ladysmith black mamboza, and also the spyro gyra and yellowjackets tracks. To sum it up, this is the only SACD you'll ever need if you want to show off your 5.1 surround SACD system. Well done sound & vision!"

Technically good , but lacks content

"Good cd , in a matter of technical interest about how a SACD would sound like, but i think it lacks quality in the music collection itself (artists,songs)."

A good listen too!

"I bought this because of good reviews AND to catch a sample of artists I don't know. Even without the limitted amounts of well done multi-channel music out there, this would be a must have. My two favorites are the gospel sound of "Don't Let Nobody Drag Your Spirit Down" and the acapella "Wenyukela". Both transcend the normal plane of musical recordings."
