Recorded puristically at Westwerk
in ORTF configuration with two high-res microphones custom built by United Minorities. Mic-pres & 2d AD by Metric Halo. No compression besides (2d) tube saturation was applied, preserving the original dynamics. This is as pure as it gets :-)
Download the (256 kbps) mp3 for $0.99 from Amazon
Yes, CD-quality is $9.99 and the mp3 only $0.99.
May I suggest you get the latter version first, and if you like it (and I hope you will :-) go for the uncompressed delight. It's well worth it!
