Reviews :
"Reference Recordings' new edition of Exotic Dances From The Opera is a very guilty pleasure indeed. Pressed at Analogue Productions' Quality Record Pressing plant, this is Exotic's first time on vinyl. Among the excerpts are are Strauss' 'Dance of the Seven Veils,' Sain-Saens' 'Bacchanale,' and Rabaud's 'Dances from Marouf.' While Oue and his orchestra play well, the performances lack a certain tension. But the sound offers classic Keith Johnson excellence: A you-are-there perspective, stunning air and clarity, ideal instrumental texture, tone, and balance, and powerful, wide-ranging dynamics. Go ahead, indulge, you know you want to." Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, January 2013
Half-speed mastering
In half-speed mastering, the whole mastering process is slowed down to half of the original speed. A typical 33 1/3 rpm record is cut at 16 2/3 rpm. The source material is also slowed down (reducing the pitch in the process) meaning the final record will still sound normal when played back. Slowing the whole process down allows more time, which means the end result sounds better and is more efficient — allowing engineering to minimize the effects of inherent limitations within the vinyl format. The result is a more accurate and more open high-frequency response in the half speed vinyl when compared with a normal speed recording.
