Iyer: Trouble - Koh, Rose | Mick Head - February 22, 2025
John Adams' music came to mind at first ("Trouble") and what a superficial comparison that turned out to be! These works all show a textural originality and a compelling sense ...

Contrapunctus, I agree with you 100%. Tower (and Esoteric) are releasing so many titles that have been issued previously, in some cases these are 3rd SACD editions. I do not ...

A release in the 2024 Tower Records BLUE NOTE SA-CD HYBRID SELECTION which is intended to mark the 85th Anniversary of Blue Notes founding. This one is from the 2nd tranche of this series released in October 2024.
Tower Records claims "The latest remastering in 2024 based on DSD transferred from US original master tapes ・ The CD layer is also newly converted from DSD master to PCM"
Sadly, there is no indication on who is responsible for the (re)mastering we hear here.
Sounds very good, though I am not in a position to compare it to the earlier SACD releases from 2011 and 2017.
