Our April release:
Mangled Masterworks III:
Bad Bach & Beyond
ReDiscovery Stereo RD 181/182 - 2:25:43
2 CDs: $15 - Download: $5
It's another collection of the Great Masters as you, and they, never wanted to hear them. It's what happens when music falls into the public domain and popular performers see a way to appropriate some well known tunes and exploit them as the composers never imagined. In Mangled Masterworks III: Bad Bach & Beyond you'll hear a jazz band tear through Brahms, electronic Paganini, Liszt with a Latin beat, funky Chopin, boogie Bizet, and the rocking rhythms of Richard Strauss. Plus, as the title implies, there's a special emphasis on The First Master, J Sebastian himself—via electric guitar, Tijuana-style trumpets, synthesizers...and one of the most notorious budget-label knock-offs in record history: Wyncote's Single Swingers. All this and another suite of twelve stunningly varied interpretations of one single composition, via orchestra, electric organ, harmonica, klezmer band, xylophone, and more.
Aside from a few titles from difficult or archival sources, the 53 tracks boast fine stereo sonics; many are from open-reel tape masters. All have been meticulously restored for the best possible audio reproduction. A special program booklet gives background information on the performers (though in a few cases their true identities remain unknown).
This release is also available via download: unencrypted 320kbps mp3 files, properly labeled and tagged. High-resolution jpgs of the booklet and insert are included. Please see our download tips before purchasing.
Mangled Masterworks III: Bad Bach and Beyond features RX Processing. RX Processing introduces highly ingenious computers
—"electronic brains"—to the mastering process. Unlike old-fashioned remastering that is a single-stage procedure with unpredictable results, computer-enhanced RX Processing goes an extra step and remasters the remastering. Instead of just liberating the music from the audio, multiple-stage RX Processing liberates the music from the audio and the audio from the music, permitting the electronic brains to create a Pristine synthesis of sound, audio, and sonics. With your equipment properly placed, you will hear each performance in the true full-spectrum at a level unlike that possible before in any type of record. In addition, several archival tracks have been processed with the newest miracle of electricity, Ambien Stereo. Exclusive to RX Processing, Ambien Stereo creates an astounding depth of field and sonic spread by magically extracting cues from archival tracks and then putting them back in. Thanks to remarkably punctilious engineering techniques, the effects of this process are absolutely inaudible to the human ear. Ambien Stereo is the ultimate enhancement and another triumph of RX Processing.
