Thanks Adam! The choice is mainly based on QQ members comments. So I repeat again - I love this forum!

The album cover reminded me of this song by Badly Drawn Boy (tenuous link)

It's not a fantastic mix and it's way too loud (as I recall), but the music is an awful lot of fun - not quite as good as "Spend The Night" but a pleasant pop-rock sugar high all the same. They've also done a number of fun covers. Given the compression of most of their music, you won't be missing much streaming it off Spotify.

I knew the CD side was compressed but Ralphie said the DVD side was ok

As I recall (dangerous, I know) it's not compressed to death like the CD side, but the music is naturally pretty compressed and lacking nuance even without further DRC. It's meant to be loud and fun.

Your description is spot on...I decided to take a listen....the DVD side doesn't sound "crushed" at all...it's that "dense" pop sound that Indie artists sometimes have...and it is "fun" as well...you are 2 for 2...I like it..sounds like a "raw" Joan Jett type of vocals..

And one of the RARE Atlantic Records MLP DVD~As released in Hi Res and quite rare because of the recall [it was one of the Dualdiscs' early TEST releases in the Boston area].

Enjoy, Clinty.

Just BUY it.

Well... First of all I must admit that I love Dead Can Dance and the fact Peter Ulrich was a DCD member is the only reason I bought this SACD. But after listening I was slightly disappointed... The content is a mixed bag, I liked may be 2-3 songs, music is very specific and not everybody's cup of tea. I'm not impressed by surround mix either, the rears almost ambient... The fidelity is ok, and it's plenty of good bass here. I don't think I'll be spinning this often.

Almighty Blues; London & Beyond - Wishbone Ash (Hybrid MultiCh SACD)

Poncho At Montreux - Poncho Sanchez (DVD-A DualDisc)

well.. i'm glad i got this for the music first and foremost, as the surround is a big fat waste of ambient time! fortunately i love this kind of bongo Latino stuff and its a genre fairly well represented by decent multichannel, the Concord SACDs of Poncho's music are miles better surround mixes than this! arrrrribaaaaaa!!! ayeayeaye aaaayyyye!!!!!
