One of my favorite works of all time!
That being said I was disappointed by the sacd! This mix by Todd on side one on either the lp or cd has always been a bit fatiguing with what always seemed to be lite on the bass and heavy on the upper mid range and lower to mid highs. There is so much looping going on that can really crowd the mix. but I always felt that better eq'ing could have helped the sound but alas it sounds as if there was no attempt by Todd to fix it. Now I found the fatiguing aspects to be even more fatiguing in high rez. The lp's I own did not seem to hurt my brain so much as this sacd but to refresh my memory I will revisit the vinyl this weekend on my new old Denon DP-120 with My Shure V-15 III all dialed in. There should have been a bit of remastering done here Todd!
