Pick of the Week: Crosby, Stills & Nash (24kt Gold)
 |
CSN never needed to add Neil Young nor did Young need them, but it happened. It was good but the best music was made when there were three, I have no doubt, and this album is irrefutable proof.

Audio Fidelity selects only the best music for its 24-karat gold format. The Crosby, Stills & Nash self-titled debut was indeed a superb selection. The special remastering process certainly did this recording justice in every instance. The music just sparkles with warm highs and lows and tracks such as "Guinevere," "Long Time Gone" and "Wooden Ships" are absolutely stunning.
This recording reminded me of the Simon and Garfunkel releases in the same format in early 2010. Rock always sounds great, however, when you take tasteful music with a rock and pop mixture, the 24 karat rendering is simply magical. CSN was magic, as pure as fresh fallen snow at the top of the highest mountain. The extra ingredient this time around was Audio Fidelity.
CSN defined a genre and time period with their music and the Audio Fidelity label embraced that and made a classic yet more appealing. As always the is a limited numbered edition that will fly out the door so get your copy while you can or forever be looked upon by the gods of music as a fool.
