Chasing The Dragon have chosen Mendelssohn's wonderful "OCTET IN E FLAT MAJOR, OP. 20" performed by The Locrian Ensemble for their latest recording. The musicians are all soloists in their own right; however, they are led by the ubiquitous violinist, Jack Liebeck. A unique opportunity to listen to the differences between vinyl cut at 33 1/3 rpm, 45 rpm and half-speed mastering, using Mendelssohn's wonderful music; wonderful "OCTET IN E FLAT MAJOR, OP. 20" performed by The Locrian Ensemble. The orchestra also plays "Two Guitars" by Ivan Vasiliev, which allows you to compare valve and transistor microphones and stereo vs. binaural mic techniques. Chasing The Dragon even cut a track sourced from their 1/2" Studer A820 running at 30 ips, so you may contrast the sound of analogue vs. digital! Sides 1 to 3 were recorded at 24 bit / 192 kHz using a spaced pair of AKG C12 Omni Mics. Record # 1: 33 1/3 rpm - Both Sides. Record # 2: 45 rpm - Both Sides. 180Gram Audiophile Vinyl.
