The best Roxy music album in SACD.SACD has the best sound quality for this album. Everybody should have this album in SACD.Thanks
I have been experimenting with 5.1 music for 10 years. It has a very relaxed sound to it. Most have been disappointing, seeming more of a gimmick than anything. This album provides a very natural sound that isn't forced into the 5.1 format. If you have the original, you owe it to yourself to hear this in 5.1 format. Excellent
Instruments are discretely placed in channels. This multi-track effort from Roxy Music deserves every bit of the hype it is receiving on every audio blog as to it's quality. This was always one of my favorite CDs - the only Roxy one I still have ever owned - but it's re-mixing for SACD is truly a stellar effort by those in the studio. not just an echo of what is in the front channels as so many other multi-track discs are guilty of. Buy this and you will thank yourself for your upgraded SACD player and 5.1 surround system.
If you have an SACD player with decent amplification and speakers, then you will be rewarded by an album which must be considered as one of the finest engineered albums of all time. The treble is clean and clear without sibilance or stridency which allows you to hear every instrument and note.The deep growling bass line of Neil Jason on "While My Heart Is Still Beating" is simply amazing. The balance of sound is superb. You are never left wanting more bass, which is deep, growling and authorative. On all tracks, Bryan Ferry's voice is rock solid in the centre stage and Andy Mackay's saxaphone never sounding more sweet.The album Avalon is the first album I go to for my own listening enjoyment and also when I want to show off my excellent sound system. I cannot recommned this album highly enough.
Regardless of the SACD quality, this album is truly a gem. It will last the ages as a breathtaking panorama of vocals, emotions and music that when combined make you feel good and hopeful that love can be found.and cherished. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
