Invisible Cities: Part One€19,99 – €50,99
Here are a few short quotes from Chris’s review:
(…) A couple weeks ago engineer Gustavo Candido from the new record label ADS contacted me about an album that seemed right up my alley, recorded in a great room, live, in one take. I was interested, but cautious. Gustavo sounded like an extremely nice guy who knew what he was doing, and who also had the utmost respect for, and was inspired by, one of the best engineers in the business, Morten Lindberg. Based on our conversations, I was excited to hear what Gustavo and musicians André Mehmari and Sergio Reze had created.
Gustavo sent over the holy grail of recording formats for me to listen to on my system, a discrete immersive DXD album. This format is second to none and usually ranges from 10 to 16 channels of unprocessed music in WAV files. In this case, I received the album Invisible Cities Part I, in 5.0.4 WAV files (5 ear level channels, 0 LFE channels, 4 ceiling / height channels) (…)
I queued up the album and tapped play on track one, Canto Primeiro. Whoa, this is seriously good, I thought to myself. First and foremost, this wasn’t an audiophile demonstration track / album. Canto Primeiro sounded beautiful, like real music played in real time by real musicians. I was sonically transported to Estúdio Monteverdi in São Paulo, Brazil. I felt like I had a secret that nobody else knew about. I’d “discovered” a new Morten Lindberg!
