Title: Not just a cd: it's an HDCD
Product review: I have absolutely loved this album since I bought it a couple months back. I literally got mad at myself for not knowing about its existence for the past 3 years. I've been mostly listening to the CD in my car but got a pleasant surprise when I slipped it into my home theater system and my OPPO blu-ray player detected that it is a HDCD. For those unfamiliar, HDCDs play the music back at 20 bit resolution instead of CDs 16 bit resolution when the player can support it (check your owners manual). The increase in digital data is audible. Her voice sounds rich and the instruments really come alive. This album is beautiful in its spaciousness and the increase in fidelity only adds to that. If you can imagine, the sounds is actually more relaxing than the CD version. Oddly, the HDCD designation appears nowhere on the this site or on the packaging. I guess it is an easter egg. I highly recommend the CD and, if you own it, I recommend you try to listen to it in HDCD mode.
