I have never been a Peter Gabriel fan, but as I was perusing SACDs yesterday at Best Buy, I figured what the hell and bought Up.
I took it home and listened to the first half of the album on headphones and was very impressed with not only the music, but the sonics were masterful. I am normally not one to buy for sonic reasons, but i am glad I did.
I took the CD over to my brother's house to hear it on his multi-channel system.
Growing Up in multichannel is, bar none, the very best sonic presentation I have ever heard, and by a long shot.
I was awed at the phenomenal multi channel mix. Everything seemed so natural, right in its place. The MC mix on his Sony 555 made the stereo mix on my SCD-1 sound bland and boring in comparison.
I can not wait to hear the rest of the album and get to know it better. As far as I am concerned, any SACD MC sampler that does not include this song is just a waste.
