Since I'm new to DCD, I'm just wondering if there is any consensus on which of the nine SACDs might be considered essential? Any advise on which SACDs to start with will be appreciated.
Of the new SACD's, I'd suggest starting with their live '94 album, "Toward the Within." It has many of their best songs from their first six albums plus new tracks (at the time.) It's a nice long collection of very well recorded material. It might not be quite the sonic equal of their best studio recordings, but the performances are great and it is a good overview of their oeuvre.
I just completed listening to the SACD layer of "Serpents Egg" on our modest family room system (I don't have a player in my main rig). Moving on to "Into the Labyrinth" next. I have the vinyl and redbook versions of that, so comparisons should be interesting.
