Lou Reed - Berlin / MFSL

Like the records he made with his first band, ‘Berlin’ finds Lou Reed decades ahead of the times. Though dismissed upon its original release in 1973, the former Velvet Underground member’s third solo effort ultimately

landed on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and remains one of his most lauded works.Addressing mature issues in stark fashion, the rock opera blends autobiographical reality, poetic license, and ambitious

arrangements to tell the story of a couple’s toxic relationship and its fallout. Produced by Bob Ezrin and featuring an array of ace musicians, ‘Berlin’ is an emotionally harrowing and sonically eclectic journey into the many of

the worst tendencies of the human condition.Mobile Fidelity’s hybrid SACD presents the landmark recording in audiophile quality for the first time. The scope, balance, and reach of Ezrin’s explosive production comes to the fore.

As does the ample spaciousness and separation that help give the songs breathing room even when the music builds to an orchestral pitch.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
