    "Captured in the warm soul of analog and preserved in the clarity of digital. This album is a unique sensory journey, where the authenticity of analog sound meets the precision of 192 kHz/24-bit recording, thanks to the Metric Halo ULN8 3D converter. The final touch, entirely analog, with a suite of excellent tube outboard gear, gives this album an unparalleled depth and emotion."
