(<klik!)Dit album is een uitdaging voor elke installatie inzake dynamiek en dat willen we graag! Allez, ik toch.
Er is géén enkele vorm van filtering of compressie toegepast en de technische beschrijving zegt zelfs met trots dat het van begin tot einde transformatorloos opgenomen werd zonder analoge tussenstap.

During the recording of the digital masters and the subsequent transfer to disc, the entire audio chain was transformerless. The signal was not passed through any processing device (i.e., compression, limiting, or equalization) at any step during production.
Sampling frequency conversion of Telarc's Soundstream digital master to the Compact Disc format was accomplished with the Studer SFC-16 sampling frequency converter. The digital information was not subject to any analog intersteps, thus preserving the integrity of the original digital master.
