The CD "The Complex" is outstanding. Extremely well recorded, "enhanced" CD. Percussion and special effects would be an SDA owners wet dream. 14 Tracks, skip to track 7 when you load'er up. Awesome bass.

It's all different percussion instruments that are very unique. Stuff made out of PVC pipe, all kinds of "home-made" instruments. I've seen them at the Luxor Casino in Vegas, they are the Luxors' premier act.

It's the same guys that did the Intel commercials for the P4 chipsets.

Some of it is almost techno, while other tunes are Rock.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I've wondered whether or not they would have good recording quality.

If you like the CD, you MUST check out the DVD that is a recording of a live concert. Its one from Texas, (I saw them in Atlanta ).

The show is astounding. I actually made a CD from my DVD so I could have a "Live CD" that would be more like the show I saw...plus the DVD has the recording of Teenage Wasteland (The Who song) done by the BMG and Tracy Bonham.

Probably my favorite music DVD's/CD's. :D

I've got the Complex CD. I agree, it is sweet. That CD will test your system's ability to image properly. Left to right & front to back imagery is very well presented. Fun stuff.

If you have a subwoofer, turn it on for this CD.

Sounds like a SDA & SVS wet dream come true! ;)

I think that the BMG is definitely one of those acts that you really need to see to appreciate what they're doing. They're known for their unusual manmade instruments and if you are just listening to the CD, I dont' think you're getting the full effect IMO. I have the DVD concert that setzer mentioned. It's a definite mix between hard rock and techno though, but entertaining to see what they're doing. Some of it you just have to weed through if you're not interested in seeing them interract with people, but that is humorous too though.....

You've got to get it Wes, it would sound phenominal on your SDA's. I believe it's at least 20bit, possibly 24bit, DDD.

I picked up The Complex this evening from BB. I haven't even opened it yet though. I'm saving its debut for the SDA/SVS. No truck action for BMG just yet.

Let me know what you think...

The DVD-Audio of the Blue Man Group is awesome.

[steveinaz]

Cool huh? Really shows off a good system.
