No EQ or processing whatsoever was used in the transfer.

Performance:   Sonics:
Yeah - this disc sounds danm good. I owned this, and many other, early DMP recordings. The music is great progressive jazz that typically starts with a simple theme and builds/slams into more complex refrains. It was recorded as well as it could have been in the early eighties. It's a very heavy studio album - no live audience in this one. The tech of the times is slightly discernible in the upper registers which makes the hi-hat a sound a bit fake. Other than that, not bad. There is tons of dynamic range: if you like slam you'll like this album. Lot's of second generation synth work too.

A classic

When I bought this album I had no idea the original recording was made in 1982 on a digital 2 track recorder. I freaked a bit when I opened up the box and read it. “What a waste of money” was my first the first thing that came into my mind.
Things weren’t as bad as I initially taught. Even though one can hear the fact this is an early digital recording it’s not a bad one. One could debate the fact if these recordings should be released on SACD but I’m pretty happy with this one. The music really does it for me.
Sound is pretty good and the music is great, which makes this a good SACD to own. DMP always knew what they were doing even in the early Digital age. That’s probably why the disc does sound great even though it was recorded digitally in the early 80’s.
