Right On! pdn

the 1st big wave of digital (CD) remasters started in 1994- 1996.
The 2nd wave started around 2000 due to a newer format SACD coming into the general buying public. While it is true that the first batch of SACD discs arrived onto the scene in 1997, many of those titles, were hit-and-miss sound quality wise.

Happy Listening!

Over several evenings now, various early Michael Brecker recordings:

S/T (1st as group leader; track 1 is "Sea Glass")
Don't Try This At Home
Now You See It...Now You Don't
Tales From The Hudson

Also, Yellowjackets:  
Like a River
Timeline

Some of their recordings get awfully close to sounding like "smooth jazz" (e.g., several tracks from Like A River) but for the most part, on these two albums, a nice balance of non-banal accessibility and attention-holding complexity with great musicianship throughout.  Timeline, especially, is the more consistent recording in this regard.

I also visited Michael Brook you recommended. Very nice.

New remixes from original tapes by Barclay James Harvest are excellent. Three disk sets are fair priced, have 2 CDs (remix and flat transfer) and DVD with 24/96 and DTS 5.1 mixes (also a great listening, but well, those are not CD )) )
A touch below Steve Wilson remixes of Jethro Tull, but still...
