Just found reasonably priced stock of these, so this completes my DM SACD collection.
And I've always thought 'twas Black Celebration...It must have been their biggest seller in their catalog or they didn't make enough copies of this particular title.
Where did you find it?

Anyway, PM sent.
Hi,
I'm new to this (great) forum!
I am also desperately looking for SOFAD SA-CD at a reasonable price. Could you please PM me where to find it?
Your help would me very much appreciated.

Listening to this one for the first time now on SACD - will vote later but I just wanted to say that the first track (Walking in My Shoes) sounds like utter garbage - compressed, loud, muddy.
But it has to be the sound they were going for on that song as the rest of the album seems to be much better. It's not really an audiophile album to start with but I'm enjoying the mix right now.
Great find GabeL
you know you've made me think on about this one and I don't think I've ever played my SACD of it, as I picked it up by chance in a thrift store, it went on the pile and got buried under a load of other stuff I was more interested in! Oops..!
..Time to give it a spin at last methinks!
I look forward to your review fredblue (hey, that rhymes)
Most DM fans hold this album up with Violator as some of their best work. As a lifelong DM fan, I have to confess that it isn't quite up there in my opinion. Song wise, there are some belters, no doubt, and the building pain and anguish in Dave's vocal across the album is both beautiful and tragic, more so when you realise the personal pain that powered that performance. But for me, it lacks the consistency of the three previous albums (Black Celebration, Music for the Masses and Violator). From a surround POV, it's as good as all the others and exposes the detailed layering of sounds and vocals that seemed to get lost in the stereo mixes.
And I wish they'd release a 5.1 mix of the SOFAD live album, if only to satisfy my completist OCD
(and don't get me started on the lack of a 5.1 Delta Machine mix :howl )
"shout.. shout.. let it all out..!!"
Now THAT would be an album I'd pay ridiculous sums of money to own in 5.1
have you heard the Mercedes sampler DTS disc with TFF's on it?
