| | |  | Pop | Home » » » Ray Charles - Genius Loves Company (SuperDisc) | | | | | | | Description: | | Genius Loves Company is great in stereo but it’s incredible in surround sound, the music opens up and the dynamic among the artists is more transparent, more alive. You hear Billy Preston’s Hammond B3 in its own channel. There is an eighty-piece orchestra, a gospel choir and a horn section. In surround sound you can hear each instrument. Because there is more space in a surround field, you can hear the trumpet and the trombone separately-with each instrument occupying its own space in stereo it’s all pressed together. In surround sound it’s larger-than-life. Genius Loves Company won eight Grammy Awards, joining the rarefied company of Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Santana’s Superstition. It is the first winner of the "Best Surround Mix" Grammy, and it’s easy to understand why. In surround Sound you hear more character and passion. It allows you to explore the relationships between the artists. You really feel like you are in the company of Ray Charles. This SuperDisc also includes the original stereo recording for your CD player.

 It was like listening to Mr. Charles for the first timeFeb 12, 2010
By Landon G. Jaggers

I can't overstate how incredible this disc sounds. The separation of the instruments on the various surround speakers if flawless. I could listen to this album every day. The immersive surround experience really makes you feel like you are on stage. I never really thought I would be able to hear the difference between high-res audio and normal cd-quality audio but I most certainly can with this disc. Any foreign artifacts in the signal are literally undetectable. The clarity is outstanding. For anyone who appreciates music, this item is a must-have for your collection. And the great thing is, you don't need a special player to make it work!
P.S. I bought this for MUCH cheaper on the actual Monster website

Genius Loves Company Ray Charles-Genius Loves Company was a present for a friend. As I already had this album it was a great way to know exactly what I was giving and that it was going to be enjoyed.
It has so many greatly loved artists on it that it was a sure thing!
I love this album with greats such as Van Morrison.

 Very nice ....but...Dec 20, 2006
By B. Brown
I already have this item as a sacd and it sounds great, I got it to see what was changed as I have a Pioneer Elite receiver and DVD player that can handle everything this disc has. On my home unit there was not much differant from the SACD but there was a little better sound from the SUPERDISC. But the SUPERDISC sounds great on my car, I play the DVD in the car and it sounds great, I can't play SACD's in the car. The 2 additional tracks are no reason to get this disc.
