Wish you were here sacd iso

The drums kick a bit harder and the soundstage is ever so slightly deeper on my vinyl version. It does sound quite a bit better than the CD layer however in both aforementioned areas. I can't comment on the 5. This is THE album you show off your 5. Great 5. Simply Great!!! Welcome to the 5. I'm just sitting here with a big grin from ear to ear! How many thousands of times have I played this album and how many different versions do I have?

No idea - but this is well worth the investment. Great mix and sound is simply amazing! And to think I just ordered it on a whim! If, like me, you think you have played this album out This reminds me of when I was kid in the 70s and putting it on my dad's stereo with headphones after everyone had gone to bed, thinking I was cool.

Yeah, it's that kind of awesome! Write a review and let people know what you think of this product OR just rate it. Top Sellers. We Accept. All rights reserved.

You can hear different instruments in rear surrounds fantastic. Playing this now , a recording I've listened to a thousand times maybe a little less or more, who knows but its like I never heard it before.

Just got around to putting my new copy in the surround system. View other items by Pink Floyd. Send to a Friend. Print this Page. Fourplay Fourplay. Time Out Dave Brubeck Quartet.

Brothers In Arms Dire Straits. Tumbleweed Connection Elton John. Just finished listening to it. Every fan of multichannel audio should have this SACD. The best two tracks in my honest opinion, in terms of how they were mixed, not in song preference, are Welcome To The Machine and Have a Cigar.

All the crazy effects in Machine are placed so well and balanced, tons of action in the surrounds but do not take away from the fronts AT all.

The mix honestly feels so natural, unforced, as if it was originally recorded with the purpose of being listened to in multichannel. The front soundstage sounds so full with unbelievable separation. Now to listen to the original quad! I've never heard it but I really cannot imagine it is better. Hands down. The artwork is top notch with postcards of the original artwork for the album on it.

The whole thing is unreal. I can't recommend it enough. Any fan of multichannel audio needs to be buy this. Was this review helpful to you? Review by analogue January 24, 24 of 40 found this review helpful. I will be in the monority here but I was not impressed nearly as much as the other listeners with this new Pink floyd sacd. Oh yes I will try to explain why I feel this is so. The first hint that something was amiss was that absolutely no tape hiss was heard on this disc.

The alarm bells started going off immediately. A perfect example of the deadened sound on this sacd was the introduction to the drum kit on the first track. In all other versions it had far more body and a much deeper bottom end. This time around however It never reached its full sound density. Time and again there are so many examples of this negative quality on this disc. Almost as if a veil or soft blanket was placed over the speakers preventing the full saturation of sound. I have head this album many a time over the years but never this dull or soft bodied.

Increasing the volume may help a bit as there is no compression but unlike many sacd's that do pop into focus this one never does.

The increase in volume only highlights the negative traits on this disc. There are times where the bass is very much lacking. Pink Floyd were fantastic studio musicians and they make great recordings. This album should have sounded much better than what we are hearing. There is nothing dull on this album until now.

Each and every time I listened to thids sacd I was struck by how restricted the dynamic range really is on this sacd. There was always something negative that prevented me from connecting emotionally to the music on this disc. In comparison to the Doug Sax mastering cd from the early 90's this new sacd falls short on many levels. Namely a restricted sound stage both from back to front and especially side to side.

Compared to the cd it is limpid in the dynamic range area. Nothing really sticks out in the usual 3d holograghic sense. And as I said previously this is the first time I have heard this album dulled down as it is. A very unfortunate happening. I hate to say it but the cd is the preferred listening experience. While the cd is not as smooth as the sacd.. When hearing the regular cd this dsic captures more of the effects that Floyd were after and it offers the better emotional connection and feel.

And believe me.. Whatever instrument is heard on this sacd sounds ever so slightly muffled and restricted in sound. Instruments never bloom and there is no air around them. On the cd they spring forth in a more believable way.

Even the sax on certain tracks is very flat and dull sounding on the sacd wheres the cd offers a more covincing sax sound.. Welcome to the machine was a tragic example of what Im talking about.

Throughout the years.. The layered syths breathed with organic life The song had mystery and a scary detachment Nothing grabs the listener. This song used to be a force of nature Whenever I expect to be uplifted I am simply unmoved by the content.

This song always had a very poignant and sad feel to it but not now. In previous versions the acoustic guitar sounded so lifelike and had so much air around it
