Run DMC – King of Rock – Mofi SACD
IN AUDIOPHILE QUALITY FOR THE FIRST TIME: HYBRID SACD PLAYS WITH VISCERAL IMMEDIACY
Run-D.M.C. leaves no doubt about its intent on King of Rock. The New York trio's hard-hitting sophomore album begins with a statement of purpose ("Rock the House") that serves as a stereophonic primer for the title track, a hybrid warning-anthem-theme song that swarms with justified boasts, heavy metal riffs, booming beats, cowbell accents, and dance-worthy grooves. The back-to-back tunes set the tone for a 1985 record that largely established the blueprint for the hip-hop that would follow for the next two decades — and which helped make rap a mainstream currency via the previously off-limits channels of radio, TV, and the national stage.

By the time he released Blues for Salvador, the fourth album billed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer as a lone solo artist, he kept a pace that saw him release LPs at a more than one record-per-year clip ever since the launch of his group’s 1969 debut. No wonder this 1987 effort would be Santana’s last work until 1990; he deserved the rest. And with the largely instrumental Blues for Salvador, he entered into the break on a high note — one that earned him his first Grammy Award.
