Kamakiriad

Promotional Limited Edition In Digipak sleeve. Super Bit-Mapped gold disc.
Includes 10-page folded inlay.

This disk is the product of three exciting technologies designed to enhance the listening experience and increase the quality of the disk itself.

FIRST, Kamakiriad is a 20-bit DDD recording. The DDD notation, of course, means that the music has spent its entire recorded life in the digital domain, from the studio to your compact disk player, ensuring the highest possible digital fidelity. 20-bit recording is a higher-definition technology that results in significantly more information than standard 16-bit digital recording techniques.

SECOND, it has been manufactured on a gold disc. In this fabrication process, a super-fine layer of 24K gold coats the reflective metallic surface of the disc itself, guaranteeing long life without any possibility of oxidation or deterioration of the playing surface.

THE THIRD, is a digital noise shaping process called Super Bit Mapping (SBM), developed by Sony Music Entertainment. SBM creatively adapts the 20-bit "words" used i digital tape studio recordings to the 16-bit "language" of CD's. it does this by processing each 20-bit "word" (actually and electronic "sample" of a wave-form) through a algorithm designed to minimize noise i the most sensitive portion of our hearing range. The result is not only a lower noise, but reduced harmonic distortion, a greatly expanded sense of atmospherics, sonic "warmth" and more detailed musical perspective.

AS THE famous science fiction writer Aurthur C. Clarke once noted, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. So, it's magic.
