Ol’ Neil has released his long awaited “Archives” — on Blu-Ray discs no less:
Thrasher’s Wheat has a good recap of the pro’s and con’s of Blu-Ray technology, as well as fan’s reactions:
I can completely understand why some people are very leery and upset, it’s just that I expect Neil to be unfathomably perverse. It’s been a very long time since any decision he’s made has actually fazed me in the slightest. My default mode with Mr. Young is to assume that I have absolutely no idea what he will do next, or what he will choose to release.
Sounds familiar! 🙂
For an archive of this magnitude, Blu-Ray is definitely the way to go. I’d want the best possible sound, and the best possible picture quality as well. Anyone who has attempted to archive the amounts of music that I have, will appreciate the Blu-Ray format. DVDs have their limits and their uses. If someone is going to be satisfied with a simple mp3 ripped off the internet, it won’t much matter to them where they get their music from: China, Russia, or the nearest flea market.
