Review important for another reason: SACD vs. CD layer comparison

Moving from the standard red-book CD layer to the SACD layer is similar to viewing something through a veil of fog and then viewing it once again once the fog has lifted. Though the image is basically the same, but the site itself is has far more presence and life then before, the same holds true with the SACD layer. It is remarkable just how much of a difference it makes on this particular album.

Take for example the opening track, “Valse Hot,” once again. While earlier, there was a certain amount of compression in the upper treble range, it is gone from the recording. In fact, all of the fuzziness which might not even have seemed apparent at the time is gone. You can hear the band as though it was performing directly in front of you. All the time and location information is perfectly preserved and it makes a huge difference in the appreciation of the music itself.
