5.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, Greg, but I beg to differ., March 20, 2000

I'll have to take issue with the previous review written by Greg Ulbrich. Greg called me at work to tell me how taken aback he was by the results of this new remastering of "Gaucho" (which is just about my favorite Steely Dan effort). So I thought, "How bad could it be? " After work I went home, and we listened to it together. Sorry to disagree, sweetheart, but this CD is totally BOSS. Sure, the bass is a little pumped up, but if you have the equipment to play this little baby, you can adjust it to your heart's content. As for the relegation of the backing vocals to the rear channels, I'll admit it was a bit disorienting at first, but we're so used to simple stereo that any recording in this format is likely to be a little jarring. THIS IS THE FUTURE OF RECORDED MUSIC. Get used to it! Oh, how I love "Gaucho." "The Glamour Profession" has got to be one of the coolest, slickest tracks of all time. Greg, I'll bet you'll be giving this recording FIVE STARS a year from now!

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Have" DTS Disc, June 25, 2001

Excellent music, excellently mastered. This is a 5.1 channel DTS CD. It is playable on any A/V system that can decode DTS and has a digital line back to a CD or DVD player (even ones that can't play DTS movies).

The surround mix has been critisized for having the horns in the rear channels. However, the mix is consistent in the location of the instruments (no flying trumpets), so I really like the use of the surround channels. The bass is punchy and well defined.

Overall this disc is highly recommanded and I still use it to show up what an A/V system can do (even with DVD-Audio discs available).
