CD ReviewsI Waited a Long Time for This One - and was Hugely Disappoin Georgia Guitarist | Marietta, GA United States | 10/25/2008 (1 out of 5 stars) "I've owned the vinyl versions of this and Dry Jack's first album "Magical Elements" since they were first issued. Both albums contain some very, very nice jazz (yes, jazz-fusion), with "Whale City" being a worthy follow-up to Dry Jack's great debut album. I'm very pleased with the "Magical Elements" CD and greatly disappointed with this one. The music is still top-notch - 5 stars; I just can't listen to this CD. This is among the harshest sounding digital transfers I've ever heard. In a couple of spots, the audible tape hiss is so loud it's like an extra instrument. I know nothing about preparing digital masters, but it sounds as if this is the master that was next intended to go through a de-hissing step to eliminate the tape hiss and tone down the brittle and harsh trebles. Was the wrong file sent to mastering? I do not know, but I know that the sound on the original album does not have the same issues. I'm going to transfer my vinyl version to CDR using Cakewalk Pyro. What a disappointment."
