FIM XRCD - Unbelievable

I just picked up a copy of "Flemenco Passion" by Gino D'auri. (from a suggestion by someone here - Thanks!)

It is the best recording that I have ever heard. I have a lot of music and this is the best.

It is something called an Extended Range CD from a company called FIM.

Does anyone know if there are more of these CDs that are worth picking up?

I've owned Flamenco Passion for a while. There's better recordings than this (there always is) but it is a well-engineered recording with excellent dynamics.

A few other well-engineered XRCDs to try include FIMs own:

o Over the Rainbow, Tony Overwater.
o Autumn Leaves, Jacintha.
o Here's to Ben, Jacintha.

I agree with you Ed, I've had that disc for some time now, and it's been one of test disks since I got it!

A great alternative to XRCD's using the same technology are the K2 releases by JVC. K2 is the mastering technology used to make XRCD's and the K2's sound great and they're at regular cd prices! There have been a few threads on the subject, do a search of K2 and see what you find.
