I bought a Sony C333ES sacd player and wanted to try the new format, to test the difference I bought this So (Peter Gabriel)SACD. The SACD version (2 channel non hybrid) far outperforms the CD version. The music is much more multilayered / three dimensional / dense than with a normal CD. Maybe worthwile investing in more SACD titles now. I had tried another SACD title by Sting Sacred Love (Hybrid), absolutely useless. Way too harsh and bright, plus Sting has become very bad indeed. Too old and very uninspired it seems. Peter Gabriel is one of the very few older people who have retained their vocal abilities, comparing with for instance Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Rolling Stones, The Eagles etc, who all seem to need strong female vocalists to hide their own lack of ability on the higher notes / chords. Apart from that if you have a SACD player, get a SACD copy of this album.Read full review
Love this album. I have purchased it several times to make sure I have a good copy. A classic

Some sacds that i've bought sound good, some sound bad (i don't like the mix on Alice In Chains greatest hits... Rooster is ruined!) So (although I don't like all the songs) sounds great. Shaking The Tree sounds good...although not as good as So. Aerosmith Toys in the Attic...not so good. Buy Muddy Waters Folk Singer on dvd-a!
One of the best sounding sacd I own.
