"I have a friend who works for Sony & have heard my share of SACDs. This is hands down the best SACD I have ever heard. What "MoFi" did for the CD format with "Dark Side of the Moon", they have now done again with their new Ultradisc SACD format. First off, credit where it's due: The aLBUM is a winner... Mann's voice, her songwriting & the production are beyond top notch - this is a must have album in general. But hearing it on SACD is truly a revelation. I feel like a kid again hearing great music for the first time..."

"This Super Audio CD version from Mobile Fidelity contains a regular stereo CD layer and a stereo SACD layer. The sound of the SACD layer is simply fantastic. There is not a hint of grain, sharpness or other fatiguing factors normally associated with regular CD PCM digital playback. This allows you to really crank up the volume without feeling assaulted. The bass has depth and Aimee's voice comes out and surrounds you. The care and time spent in the crafting of this recording is obvious from start to finish and Mobile Fidelity has done a masterful remastering job. The music is melodious and the lyrics are as thoughtful, insightful and lovely as any I have heard. A 45 minute fall into the dream of the astronaut."

A great gift!

"My boyfriend bought me this CD as a gift. At first I thought he was nuts because, not only do I already have the CD, but, the one he got was also more expensive. But...hate to admit it...he was right. This one is amazing. It's a special "audio geek" edition and the sound is incredible. Aimee Mann has such an amazing voice. I liked her way back when when she was in the 80s band Til Tuesday, but she's matured and sounds better than ever. The album is consistantly strong throughout--no fluff."
