I know there are Bowie fans here, FYI, came across this:
Quote:

EMI are to release three Bowie SACDs on September 29th...and here are the details: Firstly, there will be hybrid stereo releases of the Scary Monsters and Super Creeps and Let's Dance albums featuring the 1999 remaster on the PCM stereo layer and a new 2003 remaster on the DSD layer. Also due at the same time will be a hybrid multi-channel SACD release of The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars featuring the 2002 remaster as PCM and DSD stereo layers, and a layer featuring a 5:1 multi-channel mix of the album created by Ken Scott at Abbey Road in January of this year. I had the very good fortune to be present at this 5:1 Ziggy surround-sound remix at Abbey Road, and I have to say it sounds incredible. Perhaps the only time I can imagine it being an absolute pleasure to be surrounded by Spiders!

Good thing I don't own SACD player, or my wallet would have giant sucking sound, he he.

BTW, I have mentioned in a couple threads here that the 2002 remaster of Ziggy for 30th anniversary edition was noticeably better vs 1999 remaster............but never could get anyone interested in disussing Bowie

When you said Ziggy, well, I thought you meant Ziggy Marley. I was like [size=medium]YES[/size]. O well..............

i bought two copies: one for me and one for my bowie-crazed friend. me and her are both extremely happy with it. me for the sound quality, and her for the badass booklet and packaging.

It is a really beautiful informative package, also recently released ALADIN SANE 30th anniversary ed, same deal as Ziggy with bonus CD and improved sound.
