MTV Party To Go 2000 was the fourteenth album in the MTV Party to Go series.

This very special sampler is a celebration of the TRUE STEREO process for recording Naim has used for the majority of their releases over the last ten years. “True Stereo” is one of the most faithful techniques that exists to capture music in a recorded format. The final sound results from recoding with just a single pair of microphones set up in a space with good natural acoustics. The end result offers the listener a ‘live’, acoustically realistic perspective on the music without processing or electronic manipulation of any kind. Because the sound is recorded direct to stereo, there is no opportunity for mixing or manipulating it after the recording has been made.
The positioning of the microphones is critical for this kind of recording: microphone placement represents the only opportunity that our engineer, Ken Christianson, has to adjust the levels. For example, more or less bass is achieved by positioning the bassist closer to or further from the microphones.
Ken’s techniques – developed over a period of many years – are illustrated in the booklet which accompanies the True Stereo Sampler. There are diagrams showing the placement of instruments and microphones, and details on the specific sound characteristics of the room that was used for the recording.

Легендарный бар на райской Ибице выпустил свой новый долгожданный сборник Cafe del Mar XX.
Как известно, Cafe del Mar достаточно долго выпускает музыкальные сборники с треками, которые специально подбираются резидентами именитого бара у самого берега.
Напомню, что бар Cafe del Mar открылся на Ибице в далеком 1980-м и по сей день пользуется огромной популярностью среди меломанов и туристов благодаря своим невероятным закатам и правильно подобранному музыкальному сопровождению.
