Culver
City, CA-March 19, 2013-Marshall Blonstein and his reissue label
Audio Fidelity have reignited interest in the Super Audio Compact Disc (SACD)
format.
Two
classic progressive rock recordings have reintroduced the format via the
specialty label. Rush and Yes head up the collector’s series with the Rush
masterpiece Counterparts (1993) and
the legendary Yes classic Close To The
Edge (1972). The two renowned progressive rock releases remain cornerstones
of the genre and are revered to present day as benchmarks for the genre during
their respective decades.
The
essence of progressive rock is exploratory and complex and each release
highlights those factors poignantly with their own particular approaches and
styles. Yes was classically influenced with Rick Wakeman’s keyboard flourishes
and Rush made their own unique inroads to progressive rock with science fiction
themes and in this case, with introspective lyrics in regards to relationships.
Yes provided dreamy soundscapes and spiritual lyrics with complex suites that
seamlessly flowed like a river into an ocean of sounds and wonderment, while Rush
offered an endless array of rock sounds in different shapes and forms. Both
albums have their own unique trademark sounds that continue to bring endless
hours of joy to their fans.
The
SACD format is one that focuses on more distinct and clear sounding recordings,
much like the Audio Fidelity gold discs. Each CD comes in a windowed slipcase
with a duplicate of the original cover and CD booklet. The format lends itself
well to all the high points of each recording while also allowing the listener
to detect subtle nuances that become crystal clear because of the remastering
within the SACD format.
Audiophiles,
collectors and music lovers alike will appreciate this incredible music that
has been given a new lease on life through the Audio Fidelity SACD releases.
The recordings can be purchased directly through the label website or through
major Etailers such as Amazon.com
