On vinyl
"An album of vaporous intensity" according to the sleevenotes, and so it is. Along with Tago Mago this is the group's finest achievement. Sounding superb on this SACD.
Nice swinging jazz...

I wouldn't argue too much with that, except I have a really soft spot for Soon Over Babaluma. Partly because I was expecting a big drop with Damo going.
The Rolling Stones - Bridges to Babylon,

Yes Nick. "Chain Reaction/Quantum Physics" on Side 2 is up there with Can's best.
Vinyl released 1988 - Great pop songs and no bass player. Fine album ????
I really like these Can SACDs (the core catalogue was remastered under the supervision of Irmin and Holger in 2004). I will be buying the lot I think, they sound excellent.
This is the third one I have - Unlimited Edition. I think today will be SACD Saturday!
Very modern album, some nice parts...
The Rolling Stones - Stripped, a great concept that makes for a really good latter day Stones album
Various Artist - Live at the 1990 concord jazz festival, first set.
From the first second you'll notice that the sound quality of the live recording is excellent. As is the music. It has the great Gene Harris on piano and that was the reason I bought this CD.

On SACD, the 30th anniversary edition. DSD stereo (I have no idea what the 5.1 mix sounds like, I haven't got a home cinema system.
OK, but nowhere near vinyl quality.
Eric Clapton - Slowhand,

Agree, the 2016 vinyl release is much better.
