  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    MQA-CD plays back on all CD players. When a conventional CD player is connected to an MQA-enabled device, the CD will reveal the original master quality.

    MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that reveals every detail of the original master recording.

    Regular CD Player
    As a result of the MQA encoding process, MQA-CDs benefit from increased timing precision and de- blurring when played on any device. (This playback mode is called “Legacy” and is one of the key features of MQA, where all listeners will hear audio – irrespective of the playback decoder functionality).

    MQA-Enabled CD Player
    These CD players can recognise an MQA-CD. The built-in MQA decoder will automatically restore the high-resolution signal heard in the studio and confirm it, using the authentication signatures.
    MQA-enabled CD players include Oppo UDP-205, Esoteric Grandioso K1x, Triode TRV-CD65E and Meridian 808v6 with more being released to market each quarter.

    MQA-CD ripping
    Consumers may want to rip MQA-CDs for playback on a range of devices. As described in section 7.2.3, we recommend using the MQA Tag Restorer application to restore the metadata tags required by some MQA-enabled devices.
    The application can be downloaded free here - www.mqa.co.uk/tag435sdf43te

about

SEAMIST - A song written somewhat tongue-in-cheek about my inability to surf, but with a deeper theme of alienation in what is ostensibly a Southern Californian paradise. The Hawaiian sounding slides are conventional slide guitar lines playing in harmony, probably played on the mini-humbuckers of my Les Paul Deluxe. George Sluppick provides the distinctive groove on drums. The Rhodes electric piano is “swirled” via a Uni-vibe pitch shift and a Leslie speaker (Again!).

lyrics

SEAMIST
In this world there’s so many things one can try
I try to keep up but the kids all pass me by

And everybody’s gone surfing now
I sit at home while I’m learning how to disguise
When the sea mist gets in my eyes

On idle days when we trip on down to the beach
A feeling nags me that there’s something far out of reach

And everybody’s gone surfing now
I try to fight it and I’m learning how to disguise
When the sea mist gets in my eyes

Goodbye Laguna, I should’ve left the party sooner, so long
And Leo Carrillo, adios mi amigo, carry on

I stare out at the vastness of the sea
A wave of memory comes crashing down over me

And everybody’s gone surfing now
I sit at home while I’m learning how to disguise
When the sea mist gets in my eyes
Sea mist gets in my eyes
