jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	Those retards at Amazon always do that when a real release date isn't known.

Foobsie Oscar® Winner	Yeah.... and know what even stranger? I just purchased the SilvaScreen John Barry 4 Disc compilation (Silvascreen, 2001) for a mere UK pounds 9.70 SHIPPED! (Used a Thomas Cook 5 pound certificate) MAN WHAT A BARGAIN!!! U.S. listed price $37.99 phew BTW: does anyone know if the "Lion in Winter" edition they have up at amazon.co.uk, releasedate May 7th is the expanded and remastered edition?

ManOfSorrows Oscar® Winner	Hmm, should I order that John Barry 4 cd? It's only $17 here in Sweden. Quite cheap for 4 CDs. Is it worth it?

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Oh my God! Are you kidding? As big a skeptic as I am about the Silva stuff, their Barry tends to be better than many of the other composers they cover, and that's a HELL of a price! I'd jump on it! Does the winky-face mean you ARE kidding???

Foobsie Oscar® Winner	Just visited the Silvascreen website.... The discs are encoded using Pacific Microsonic's HDCD (r) recording technology. My experience is that music really comes to life over the audible range and the spatial distribution is also optimal on Surround Systems.... Also Dolby Surround encoding on the discs... MAN I AM GOING TO MELT WHEN THAT BARRY SOUND POURS OUTTA MY SYSTEM...... glowing NW: TOTAL RECALL- Local Television Channel Goldsmith's score is like pure ballet along with the carefully choreographed action scenes, moves and camera vistas.... Like chocolate for a baby.......

It seems all their discs have HDCD and DS, at least the Bond and Goldsmith compilations do. Actually, the additional HDCD information can only be read by HDCD-capable players. The DVD/CD player I bought a few weeks ago actually is able to decode the HDCD signals, but I didn't notice much difference - because the CDs sounded already great on my old player. Sketches on Star Wars (on Varese) and Williams' Rosewood are also HDCDs. NP: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Churchill/Harline/Morey/Smith)

Foobsie Oscar® Winner	Marian.... it doesn't matter if your regular CD-player doesn't support HDCD (it doesn't have the chip onboard)... However it does make a difference, doesn't matter if you don't have the decoding chip..... HDCD is based on ENCODING and DECODING.... Greetz Marian, I am there June 28th.... till June 30th... London.... Jerry HERE I COME! Oeh... and he better sign my copy of Total Recall!

However it does make a difference, doesn't matter if you don't have the decoding chip..... HDCD is based on ENCODING and DECODING.... Errr...I'm not sure what you're trying to say. All my HDCDs sound great on "normal" players, but the extra information is only used by players with the HDCD chip (my player shows a light when it detects a HDCD disc). I wonder how the HDCD decoding actually works? Because when you simply copy a HDCD with an audio program on your computer, the result is still HDCD encoded. quote: Marian, I am there June 28th.... till June 30th... London.... Jerry HERE I COME! Oeh... and he better sign my copy of Total Recall! I hope we can meet somewhere! I have yet to decide which CD(s) to take with me (Mark Hatfield said he has a 3 disc limit when signing), but one of them will be Final Conflict.

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	HDCD hides 4 extra bits on the CD. Like Marian said, you obviously don't hear the "HD" information if you're listening to it on a normal CD player. You are reaping the benefits from having a well mastered CD, though. HDCD Technical Paper Simplified explaination quote: HDCD works its magic by upping the usual 16 bits of resolution (the normal CD standard) to a full 20 bits. A patented, sophisticated recording and playback system encodes these additional four bits of information while maintaining perfect compatibility with the existing CD process. By doing so, more information is encoded on the CD, resulting in better sound quality. The subtle details so important to conveying a convincing illusion of reality are more likely to be "caught" by this superior digital process, and HDCD discs are usually touted for their greater transparency, smoothness, and overall naturalness of presentation. In order to realize the full benefits of HDCD, you need a CD player which has an HDCD chip installed - but even if you don't have one, HDCD recordings will always sound superior to ordinary CDs when played back on any CD player. Why buy an HDCD player when SACD (or DVD audio) will be so much better?

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Thanks for the info. Does this mean that the couple of "20 Bit" classical CDs I've seen in stores are in fact HDCDs as well? And fortunatey, there's going to be a DVD-Audio upgrade for my player later this year. Can't wait to get my hands on those Goldsmith discs, if it's true that they're also going to be released in DVD format! NP: Jean Sibelius: Tapiola (Berlin Philharmonic, Hans Rosbaud)

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	Yeah, I think HDCD is a synonym for a 20-bit CD. I wouldn't be surprised if those Goldsmith discs are released in DVD-audio format -- I wonder if the release was delayed for the pressing of a DVD-Audio disc. I remember the Telarc website only had the CD and SACD versions for sale briefly in March. NP: QB VII -- Obviously not a HDCD, DVD-Audio, or SACD recording. Fantastic score and performance, though.
