the first time i listened to Jackie Evancho's Blu-ray concert "Dream with me", i found it a bit lacking in athmosphere and presence and thought a couple of times that there was a little bit of distortion in the orchestra sound, so i listened again yesterday and found that the vol. was not set right. at -8 dB re. Ref. Level/PCM 5.1, it's excellent.
it will "rock" you.

Good question - what is the "Experience" version? Doesn't look like surround/hi-rez.

I'm not clear on this- Is there a surround, hi-rez disc available for WYWH without spending the $130 or so for the immersion set? I love that recording, but not to the point where I feel I need themed nick-nacks. Just the SACD: http://www.elusivedisc.com/prodinfo.asp?number=APSAM33453It's $35 and they probably add shipping to the wound.

Downloaded and listened to the ATO Records Fall Sampler: http://atorecords.com/featured/free-13-track-sampler/Quite a random collection. I liked "My Morning Jacket – Victory Dance", but particularly enjoyed "Danny Barnes – Fun".

Thanks Henry and David- This didn't show up at Amazon the other day when I searched for "Wish You Were Here" (now either, as I checked again and only get the standard Redbook, the huge immersion box set and the "Experience" two-disc version. Jeeez, they really know how to market this stuff!

I'm not a Holiday music kinda guy, and I never bought "Natalie Cole Sings With the Dead," but...
Amy Winehouse/Tupac Shakur: "A Christmas Duet" got my attention.
It has all your old faves, digitally sampled and smashed together like razzleberry pie.
*Black Christmas for Whitey *Santa Ain't Sh-- *Pine Cones and Needles *My Yiddish Kwanza *Silent Nights (A perpetual loop "round") *Slay Bells *Rudolph was my Dealer *Holiday Tats *My DirtNap Angel *I'm Fixin' for Chistmas
And my all time favorites, *The Little Gunner Boy" ("....this is my gift to you, a-rat-a-tat-tat...") AND *Chestnuts Roasting, Open Fire!
The recording isn't up to snuff, but its' just for a couple of weeks a year.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
