John Lennon - Imagine Ultradisc II™ 24 KT Gold CD

Dynamics and sheer energy at their best! The drums solos are a severe test for any HiFi system if played - as they should always be - extremely loud (a live drum kit sounds very loud...). A realistic 3D image is included too. Musically, you have to love this Toto-style kind of Music.

The Hunter was released 5 years after her breakthrough with 'Famous Blue Raincoat'. It is a varied affair with several songs given by Todd Rundgren, Donald Fagen and mentor Leonard Cohen (who puts in another guest appearance) as well as self penned material. It's the voice that matters, and hers is crystalline.

"Brothers In Arms" was pretty much the success story of the 80's and was primarily fuelled by a slate of huge hit singles like the classic "Money For Nothing", "Walk Of Life" and "So Far Away". Obviously the production and Mark Knopfler's superlative guitar playing are exemplary as usual. Here's your chance to experience it all over again in glorious xrcd2 sound!

This recording has been mastered by the new K2 HD format of 24-bit 100kHz. With more than 50 versions of this Tchaikovsky classic on the market, this Decca version was chosen for its performance and sound quality. Tremendous soundstage and clarity of details, the K2 HD Mastering does make a difference!

"Record to Die For" - Stereophile Once in a blue moon, there might emerge a particular recording which is so special that it outshines its peers of its time. "Café blue" is exactly such a recording!
