Avalon Reviews
The problem is to find the Multichannel SACD and not the Stereo SACDs. There are several Internet shops selling SACDs with no such information, what so ever. My rating is based on how I like the Music and the Multichannel mix. Sometimes there are customers giving information on whether the SACD is in Multichannel or not. It's hard to find good recordings in Multichannel SACD.
May be it's just me, but I would very much like to have this information. On this recording the mix is good. This is a must have if you will have 100 albums or more. I have this wonderful SACD-player at home. Please give information on Multichannel or Stereo for the SACD.
In shops they don't select Multichannel SACDs as a particular category. It's much better on the Internet. It gives me great pleasure to listen to recordings in all my speakers, the 5 channel mix. So also Amazon.com, Amazon.uk and Amazon.de. To me this is the best recording made by Roxy Music. I search all over the internet and in shops.
it just has more class, doesn't cost much and makes a better impression.
I think so much of it that it is a favorite CD to give away to new people in my life on occasion.
1982 to be exact.
Despite Amazon's description that the album was released in 2003, the record was actually released in the early '80s.
I very highly recommend this amazing sounding CD.
The album has remained a high point in my collection though I have retired the vinyl to storage and replaced it with CD.
And I always purchase new ones to give away.
vinyl 12".
2 sides and handle with kid gloves to keep away additional snap crackle pop that we had to live with in those days.
Nice SACD. Very nice SACD, the 2 channel version is great, the multichannel surround version is great in a different way.
If you only have a stereo, get the stereo version. If you have have an SACD player and you can get a copy of "Avalon", DO IT. The stereo version of this album is beautiful the 5.1 SACD is "Figgin Sweet.". Being lucky enough to live across the street from an Audio Video store I listened to alot of music being used as "demo" music on a lot of nice systems. Although only stereo, this CD quickly grew on me it's definitely not an 80's sounding recording as Aja is not a 70's sounding recording. When I first heard this CD I was living in Germany in the middle 80's in Frankfurt while in the USAF.
Again there are few other good ones too. It is very hard to get a excellent sound stage while using 5 speakers.
Voice comes out nice and clear. Iam mainly writing the review for SACD quality. It is very well done.
If you are looking for one definitive SACD this is it. We all know how amazing Roxy is. Stage feels large and deep, with lot air.
The stage never floats, instruments are very well balanced. I dont have much to say about the actual content.
