Good Music -- A few surprises

"Some really interesting music which, I enjoyed. However, there were a couple of surprises.



This is around my 10th Hybrid SACD, and this is the first one that I've come across that was not multichannel. So, beware, if you are looking for a multichannel SACD -- this is only two channel SACD. Now, I understand that if I want multichannel SACD, I have to look for the word "multichannel". The two channel SACD music sounds very similar to normal two channel CD, at least to me.



There are 11 CD tracks on this hybrid SACD and they are the same 11 tracks shown in the "Listen to Samples". The interesting thing about track 11 is that it consists of the song, "Alleluia", followed by a long pause, followed by a cover (by Julia Fordham) of "Loving You" (the Minnie Ripperton hit).



There are 13 SACD tracks on this hybrid SACD. The first 11 tracks are the same as the CD tracks, except that Alleluia is the only song on track 11. Track 12 is "Funny Guy" and track 13 is "Silver".



The disk documentation does not mention "Loving You", "Funny Guy", or "Silver"."
