Neil Young goes Blu Ray think it will catch on?

Goldmund already has a $16,900 Blu-ray player out, they are already here....

"will be released this Fall".

I will believe it when I see it. The Neil Young archives have been up for release for about the past decade but each "new" technology that surfaces stops him dead in his tracks as he determines "is this the one I have been waiting for?" A few years ago it was DVD Audio that was going to be the technology, now it is Blu Ray - unless something new pops up in the next 4-6 months.

This is not a slam on Neil, I have been a fan for 40 years and I cannot wait to get my hands on the archives, I just grow weary of his quirks.

The archives have been a long time coming. This is probably for real. Neil Young has long been on record (no pun intended) about how poor CD quality is when compared to vinyl. I think it's just that he's been waiting for a digital format with sufficient quality. It's probably an artistic integrity sort of issue. He must be satisfied with the Blu-Ray quality due to its greater storge capacity. The last paragraph in the article really sums it up.

I have been enjoying Blu-ray for nearly a year - yeah I do think it will catch on ....eventually. Do I think you need to pay $17 K for a player...no. But I have tin ears...
