Working with producers Eric Valentine and Tony Berg, the platinum-selling band found innovative ways to capture their singular sound, resulting in a record that makes the listener sometimes wonder if there isn’t more than mandolin, guitar, violin and bass at play. Recorded on analog gear, each song is uniquely crafted – some sonically enhanced with vintage plate reverb, while others are recorded around a single stereo-microphone.

Also available as a SACD - Super Audio CDs require a format-specific player to utilize their dramatic increase in sound quality, however, all Sugar Hill SACDs are formatted with a second layer (known commonly as hybrid SACDs), allowing them to be played on standard CD Audio players, as well.

Super Audio CD offers a frequency response of over 100kHz and a dynamic range over 120dB across the audible frequency range, increasing resolution by more closely following the original wave form of the music, which results in music reproduction that is remarkably pure and faithful to the original.

SACD multi-channel sound versions contain as many as six separate channels. Some will use the added channels to faithfully reproduce the precise acoustic signature of the performance space. Others will realize new creative possibilities, immersing the listener in a 360° field of sound. Multi-channel SACD takes its place beside stereo SACD as another compelling way to enjoy music.
