I know it has probably been asked already, but what is your Fave album, and song off of that album?

That's tough. It really depends on my mood. I love So Long So Wrong because it's put together so great. To me, there's some bluegrass, but also shows some of the 'prettiness' Alison tends to do also. New Favorite is up there with SLSW. Although there's not much bluegrass, it has most of my favorite songs lyrically on there. My favorite song from SLSW is "There Is A Reason", and from New Favorite I love "Stars" and "Take Me For Longing".
Live is also great because it's got the new and the old material.. I think nearly any AKUS fan would say that. It's just a fun time.

I voted for LIVE, but ask me tomorrow and it will be different. Yesterday it was SLSW. Last nite when I awoke at 4:30 a.m. and could not get back to sleep, I put on the headphones and LIVE disc 2. And I thought, Good Lord , it really is that good!!! Take a while off from listening, then use those headphones--- just amazing!!

Definitely the Live album for me because it's a "best of" AKUS. But like Houseguest, ask me tomorrow and that could change. ;D

Hey!
Ive kind of thought about this all day and I have decided not to vote. I listen to every single one of them right after another and it is too hard for me to decide. So I hope ya'll understand! I lOVE them ALL!

I guess my fave is the Live album, but LRBW is good and so is new favourite and so is forget about it. Damn this is harder than my exams lol.

Hi all, would find it difficult and nigh impossible to choose my favourite album or song. Too many gems in every album to try elevate one above the other. But I do completely adore New Favourite on the Live album, it is simply stunning and from my own 2 shows that I attended last year, "Living Prayer" in Dublin and "Ghost in this House" in Birmingham had the hairs on the back of my neck standing.
And while in the car today I played the New Favourite album twice, tomorrow it'll be most likely LRBW, Monday.......yikes, decisions decisions.....

Is it just me ? I find to really enjoy the music, I must listen to the LIVE cd and not the dvd. I think I get too caught up in watching Alison or the guys, and don't get the real impact of the sound as I do if I listen with the headphones. I love the dvd, but more for the visuals and the fun , than for the music.

Has anyone else noticed, while comparing the "Live" CD with the DVD, that the sound is not at all the same? The CD has great sound while the DVD sounds kind of echoey, as if they had recorded from a mike placed up in the rafters. Anyone else notice this?

No, it's not just you, houseghost. It's the same way with me. I usually get caught up in the visualization aspect and not as much on the music. Either way though, it's a fun time!!
Turbo, it could be that your radio just has better sound than a television. I'm not a very technical kind of person, so this is all just guessing. haha.

So Long So Wrong is very special. Live is just too good.
Listening through the same playback chain, I prefer the PCM track on the DVD over CD. SACD is clearly better than either. Since I listened to the DVD and CD so many times before listening to the SACD version, it is very easy to tell. Well worth the extra money.
I wonder if there will be a BluRay version of Live with true high-definition picture and SACD quality sound.

Oh my, I really don't like this question, cause I love them all. But I did vote for the "Live" Just for that fact that is has so many good songs and they sing so many good ones. It's just that I like to pop in one CD, and listen to all the great songs I love!
