Technological innovation has finally caught up with the Old West. Since the advent of SACD technology in the late 1990s, audiophiles have consistently requested a multichannel re-release of Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra's Round Up. For years, this brilliant 1987 recording of music from classic big-screen and TV westerns – augmented by a unique array of Western sound effects – was only available in two channel. Now, this new SACD release of Round Up features three completely new mixes of the entire recording: a high-resolution surround mix of the music and sound effects, plus two new stereo mixes, each made specifically for the stereo SACD and CD program.

not worth the upgrade

Reviewer: EM
Yes, the music is great. But the surround quality is problematic. It seems the surround engineering was done by two people who did not listen to each other's approach. Instrument placing is great on half of the disc (superb Magnificent Seven), but the other half has far too much music coming from the center speaker (compare Silverado on sacd and cd). It's as if one engineer wants you to relive the movies with cinema like surround, and the other one wants you to experience a front row seat in a dry sounding concert hall. The cd still stands as a perfect disc to show off your non-surround system. Leave it at that.
