True Stereo
Posted by: Anna Tooth on 05 October 2004
The majority of discs available on the label have been recorded using just two microphones direct to a two track Nagra tape machine. They are live recordings with no editing. We believe that this is one of the purest and most faithful ways of capturing sound.
The end result offers the listener a live, acoustically realistic perspective of the music without processing or electronic manipulation of any kind. Due to the fact that the sound has been recorded direct to stereo, there is no oppurtunity for mixing or manipulating the sound post recording.
We are going to start identifying all our discs which are made in this by calling them "True Stereo Recordings", and by putting a True Stereo logo on them. This will make our CDs easily identifiable to all fans who are keen to expand their CD collection in the knowledge that they will be of the utmost sound quality.
We have put together a special sampler which is a celebration of this process which we have used for over ten years. The "True Stereo Sampler" features 12 tracks which have been released on the label at various times. The accompanying booklet is a detailed description of Ken's techniques; including equpiment used, musician and instrument placement and details on the specific sound characteristics of the room which was used for recording.
This new addition to the catalogue is available at the sampler price of £5.
You can hear a lovely track from Fred Simon's first album which is featured on the sampler by clicking here:

Is this the Dreamhouse album? Is the track representative of the album?
Quite representative in tone and quality, although it's a ballad and some of the other songs are more up-tempo.

I am probably the only person on the forum not to have a copy. Yet.
You probably are the only one, and you should rectify that right away ... the new album is coming very soon.
