Cosmas

~ Release by Damian Wilson (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

"Cosmas was originally mastered in 1997 by Chris Blair the Senior Mastering Engineer at Abbey Road Studios. Chris worked with the Beatles, Queen, Pink Floyd, Radiohead and many many more of my favourite artists. So I felt very fortunate. With changing times, equipment and 'ears', the CD now feels like it was mastered more for vinyl than CD.

Today albums are often excessively limited and over compressed through digital formatting. I have always tried to stay clear of this, but felt that the original master, while good for it's time, could be improved on, so it can stand up against the modern recordings of today."
