Anyone heard the new Moody Blues SACDs yet?

I'm listening to To Our Children's right now and it is quite an improvement over the CD. I ordered it from England. It was actually less expensive from amazon uk and in stock well before the US versions.

I got my set from Amazon.UK on Friday and have been very impressed. I've mainly been sitting back and enjoying them, but I did a couple of quick comparisons on Threshhold and Children's Children of the SACD and CD layers and with my redbook Threshold, and there's no comparison -- the SACD layer of both have more depth, subtlety of tone, spatial info, pretty much better in every way. Days of Future Past is the one that has grabbed me the most in terms of sound quality so far. I've been a Moodys fan since around 1970 and have heard lots of versions of these albums and my gut impression is these are the best I've heard yet. I'm hoping if these sell well maybe SACD reissues of classic rock albums will continue at least in Europe.

Yeah the Moody Blues,they just don't write em like that anymore. It's sad, kids today don't know what they are missing.

The Moody Blues' music pretty much got me into audio. There is so much music to hear - not "just songs" - if that makes sense. I got home late last night and they were on my doorstep. I can't wait to get home tonight, wait for everyone to go to sleep and give these a listen!

FWIW: All of the discs I ordered from the Elusive Disc are stamped "Made in Germany". For those who bought them off Amazon.UK, I wonder if those were made in Germany as well. If so, I'd guess they are the same source.

In Search of the Lost Chord--It's a shame this is not in 5.1. I had it on the quad reel to reel and have the quad 8 track. Back then they sounded great. The rest are the best sacd multi channels I've heard--most of the others have noise in the rear channels-the next best is the Stones Sympathy for the devil. As far a front channel goes--don't miss it a bit. For music, I'm not big into center channels.
