In Reply to: Genesis, a new kick-start for sacd posted by Berlin on November 9, 2006 at 10:15:48:
I would be happy if the Genesis SACDs come out. And, - I certainly will buy a couple. These have been in the works for years. And, just because the recordings get redone, doesn't mean that they'll ever see release. Hopefully, they won't get jammed up like the Eno SACDs.But, I don't think that this has anything to do with the rapid disappearance of SACD, blue-ray, or Dual Disk... all are becoming novelties, and going the way of vinyl. All the while, the archaic dinosaurs, the major label industry players, try to struggle against the rising tide, - refusing to learn how to swim; their death is near.
And, I couldn't be happier. With all they've done to exploit and bamboozle both their artists and the consumers, - I wish them a happy and quick death. For years, the majors have grubbed in the dirt for every single penny, not letting up. Now they SAY that they're providing more value, - by raising prices? When really, it's too late, they've already lost, and there is no more value in physical media.
My hard drive is filling up, and although it's going to take a while for them to disappear, - CDs and all physical formats are essentially irrelevent.... With their continued investment and losses in SACD, DVD-A, Dual Disc, and now blue-ray, - it only serves to exacerbate their losses, and provide us the amusement of watching them die
