Winston MA, the owner of First Impression Music, has bought back the rights to his early recordings for the Golden String label and is now setting out to reissue the titles that have been enormously popular in Asia to this day. In this case, it's a solo piano album by Jerome Etnom, who has been featured on two long out-of-print FIM albums. The album, "Feelings," is now reissued here in improved sound quality.
The recording was originally released in 1995 as a Super HDCD and is based on a 24-bit master that has now been remastered by the Five/Four Productions team. The result is an enjoyably flowing sound image with well-known melodies on the highest audiophile level and successful representation of the dynamic shades of a grand piano. Exactly what Asian audiophiles need to feed their home stereo.
Ultra-HD 32-Bit-Mastering & PureFlection
This mastering format was developed by FIM and Five/Four Productions. Five/Four Productions is made up of the former Telarc production team who wanted to be able to master the best possible sound quality without regard to lower quality equipment. The Five/Four Productions team can look back on 16 Grammys and countless other awards.
It is re-digitized with 32 bit word length and sampling frequency adapted to the source material. When possible, 192 KHz is used, but lower sampling rates are sonically advantageous for some material. The Ultra-HD 32-bit productions can be played back on any CD player in excellent sound quality.
The term PureFlection refers to the new way of producing the glass master for the latest FIM productions. This is not done in the pressing plant as part of the normal production process, but by a specialist on a specially modified machine for cutting Blu-Ray glass masters. Before the CDs are produced, the quality of the glass master is checked and the new booklets contain the test protocol of this check. The result is significantly lower jitter values and also lower error values than with usual industrial productions and the resulting sound image has an organic feel in contrast to many modern productions.
