What software would you like to see on SACD or DVD-A?

Sony announced several new titles for SACD release, including titles by Bob Dylan, The Police, and Pink Floyd, at the recent CES. What titles would you pick for the high-rez treatment?

Everything that exists on vinyl.

Dan Webster's picture

symphony orchestras and solo piano

Al Earz's picture

Oh, that's easy! All of Pink Floyd, Moody Blues,Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Dire Straits, Led Zeppelin, etc.

Middle-to-late Beatles albums. I think many of their songs would really work with multichannel SACD (or DVD-A). I could also get into mutichannel Pink Floyd, too.

The rest of the DSD recordings by Telarc, more Telarc Soundstream historial digital SACDs, Reference Recordings SACDs, Mercury Living Presence SACDs, more RCA Living Stereo SACDs and the Beatles on SACD.

Analog,just analog.

I'd like to see new discs from ECM on SACD.

As per The Rolling Stones

J.Liguori's picture

New releases, and William Orbit, Dead Can Dance, PF: Dark Side of the Moon, Joyce Cooling, and Jeff Golub.

what titles would you pick for the high-rez treatment? Why everything possible in the highest rez of them all of course!! That being Vinyl!!!!!

Aris's picture

Scores from Gladiator, Aliens, and American Beauty. All of Holly Cole, Simon and Garfunkel, Steely Dan, Bangles, Heart, and Supertramp. And only from analog transfers, no PCM transfers, when possible. For SACD surround I'll accept new recordings made that way, no fake surround sound.

Can't choose any titles because I abhor ALL hi-rez formats. Now, about those vinyl releases.....

George Peter's picture

Would be a real treat to listen to contemporary jazz music and new surround recordings of, let's say, Patricia Barber and any of the Blue Note, Verve or ECM artists.

GeorgeC's picture

Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, Pink Floyd's The Wall, Oh Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack, Counting Crows' August and Everything After, George Michael's Faith, Jack Johnson's Brushfire Fairytales, Supertramp's Breakfast in America, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite, some David Bowie, Paul Simon, Etta James, and for a party on a disc

Oliver's picture

Kate Bush and Rickie Lee Jones.

Cosimo's picture

Just everything.

KJ's picture

What about everything on both formats? In the same wrapping?

Daniel Emerson's picture

None. Boycott these new formats until the megacorps have decided on a single, best-of-all-worlds disc. You don't have to do their market research for them and you sure as hell shouldn't be paying them for the privilege. Don't get me wrong; I'm not a Luddite. As soon as this ridiculous format war is settled, I shall buy into the winner with great enthusiasm and doubtless infuriate my bank manager all over again.

Stephen Curling's picture

Madonna. Madonna has always had excellent recordings and having the opportunity to explore high-rez audio would be great.

Timo Rislakki's picture

Classical music

chrishladky@webtv.net's picture

Beatles, Beatles, and did I mention, Beatles.

Nate's picture

Everything should be on these high-resolution formats and universal players should be the norm.

JCS's picture

Everything!

Tim Bishop's picture

Moody Blues' Day's of Future Past, Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Waters, all of Jimi Hendrix, all of Eric Clapton, etc. Basically, a good cross section of pop and rock. A wide exciting mix of SACDs would only help!

Al Marcy's picture

A. Part

Tilmann Mahkorn's picture

Just an industry in despair... What else for??

S.  Chapman's picture

Anything except more tepid, warmed-up, warmed-over re-, re-, re-issues of stale material that they then try to sell us at premium prices. I'd like to see all NEW releases issued simultaneously on SACD or on hybrid SACD.

David's picture

I would like to see all of the latest jazz on SACD. All of Diana Krall as well.

Sarosh Anwar's picture

Anything by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Mike Healey's picture

How about some new recordings instead of more reissues? I guess I'm just being silly. For SACD reissues: Led Zeppelin, Joan Baez (Best of on Vanguard), Peter Gabriel, Kraftwerk, Jefferson Starship, RUSH, Andreas Vollenweider, David Bowie, Tangerine Dream, Mouse on Mars, Paul van Dyk, John Digweed, and Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
