I agree with 'Brothers in Arms', being it's one of the few DDDs out there. But from Analog to Digital.... ALMOST ANY recording from A&M Records. They always produced albums with great care.

Yes - 90125. I keep going back to that one for the sound. I thought David Bowie's Let's Dance was an awesome CD SQwise, but then I heard the SACD version. Holy crap!

Luv the performance of Raising Sand, but the tape hiss in the recording and the bloated bass drum is horrid. I'd like to sit T-Bone Burnett down and discuss with him exactly why he chose to make this recording sound like it was recorded on a JVC Quintet circa 1979. When you have the technology available to make a clean recording why not use it? It's not like it's expensive, now. I just don't understand.

Hello, I have Yes, 90125, and it sounds dry to me, very dead.

I Still Say...

I STILL SAY,
RUSH-Exit...Stage Left!
Or Moving Pictures, but that one sounds very dead,
especially Limelight. Very dry in the beginning, and that's the
GOLD CD ULTRADISC.

i listen to alot of music with double kick drums, and unfortunatley the metal scene has a tendency to not have the most money for recording, but if im going to use an album as a reference album i'll use Becoming the Archetypes's Terminate Damnation, it seems to be well recorded. either that or Impending Doom's Serpent Servant, its probably the only album that the sound isn't colored in, has good high and good lows.
