Though I LOVE "MoFi" (even recently bought a new copy of their current LP
remaster of The Cars' debut), I'm realizing I may never have noticed a
mastering engineer name on any of the releases I've bought (and I bought quite
a few!). If it doesn't work out with that mastering engineer, I made sure in my
survey response to suggest Joao Carvalho, who did EXCELLENT work on the
analog-sounding LP remaster of Gentle Giant's "Acquiring the Taste" for Whitby,
Ontario-based Classic Reissues. If 3:47 EST sounds as analog as THAT, I'll be
waxing ecstatic. And now that I see word of a 176-kHz master (hopefully either
24 or 32-bit "floating point", although 176-bit instead of 176-kHz outside of
the DSD realm might blow my mind upon first listen), I'm quite confident this
LP will sound VERY analog.
