Album Description |
Genius Loves Company is great in stereo but it’s incredible in surround sound, the music opens up and the dynamic among the artists is more transparent, more alive. You hear Billy Preston’s Hammond B3 in its own channel. There is an eighty-piece orchestra, a gospel choir and a horn section. In surround sound you can hear each instrument. Because there is more space in a surround field, you can hear the trumpet and the trombone separately-with each instrument occupying its own space in stereo it’s all pressed together. In surround sound it’s larger-than-life. Genius Loves Company won eight Grammy Awards, joining the rarefied company of Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Santana’s Superstition. It is the first winner of the "Best Surround Mix" Grammy, and it’s easy to understand why. In surround Sound you hear more character and passion. It allows you to explore the relationships between the artists. You really feel like you are in the company of Ray Charles. This SuperDisc also includes the original stereo recording for your CD player.

It was like listening to Mr. Charles for the first time |
I can't overstate how incredible this disc sounds. The separation of the instruments on the various surround speakers if flawless. I could listen to this album every day. The immersive surround experience really makes you feel like you are on stage. I never really thought I would be able to hear the difference between high-res audio and normal cd-quality audio but I most certainly can with this disc. Any foreign artifacts in the signal are literally undetectable. The clarity is outstanding. For anyone who appreciates music, this item is a must-have for your collection. And the great thing is, you don't need a special player to make it work!
P.S. I bought this for MUCH cheaper on the actual Monster website |

Loved this... |
From stem to stern, this is a very good album. Ray Charles adds a lot of soul to the songs featured here, which serves to make them all the more enjoyable. "You Don't Know Me", "Do I Ever Cross your Mind?", and "Sinner's Prayer" are 3 of my favorites, with "Sinner's Prayer" almost having me fall off the seat with laughter. One track, in particular, has really caught my ear, "Unchain My Heart" with Take 6. I would guess that Ray had passed before being able to record that song with them, and I would have loved to have heard him on this song. That would've been awesome! Still, Take 6 makes very good work of the song, though. Love what they did with it. This is my favorite song on the album, by the way.
Again, this is a very good album. Sorry that I slept on it so long, but oh well. I have it now, and am enjoying it, and that is all that matters:) |

Genius Loves Company Tops All Charts |
This is the greatest of all times for duets. Some artist that I would never have dreamed of singing duet with Ray. What a collectors item and a Classic for sure. This will be treasured for many years.

Very old Ray whistling through his dentures as he sung. |

I am a big Ray Charles fan but this disc is terrible. Ray doesnt sound like himself, just a bad old voice trying to get the magic back, unsuccessfully. He was off key and failed to reach the higher octaves. The mixing of the music and solos is also quite poor. I listened to the first song and started searching FF for a better song,it wasn't on this disc. So sad but true. Monster Music did Ray an injustice by making this disc. They should have used tapes from his younger superstar recordings and overlayed them on this disc. Jamie Fox would have sounded better. I was so looking forward to this superdisc but stuff happens. Don't buy it or you'll be sorry. P.S. Johnny Mathis did sound good. |
