Latest NiN SACD release:Downward Spiral

I'd had the exact same thought. What could be better than an even better recording of Hurt : ) Now if only they'd get to pretty hate machine ...

TAS gave it a glowing review recently, I was just curious if the redbook content on the CD had been improved as well

I had this on vinyl.
It was one of the best sounding recordings I had.
Even better than many of the 'audiophile'pressings I had.
I have never heard the redbook or SACD so I guess Im no help here....

I don't have the original redbook to compare. It's a fair SACD mix, but suffers from such a forward recording style that is probably meant for cars or boom boxes....

Cheers.
