(Rock) The Doors - Infinite - (Box Set 6CD, Remastered) - 2013, MP3, 320 kbps

Infinite, a deluxe, limited-edition, audiophile boxed set from Analogue Productions, contains all six legendary albums by The Doors the self-titled 1967 debut (one of rock s most important), Strange Days, Waiting for the Sun, The Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel and the visceral L.A. Woman.

Each album has been remastered in multichannel for hybrid SACD by Doug Sax and The Doors original engineer Bruce Botnick. The surround sound originates from 96K, 24-bit files that were mixed and mastered from the original one-inch, eight track, 15-ips analog master tapes by Bruce Botnick for Elektra s 2006 DVD Audio release entitled Perception. For the SACDs, those files were then up-sampled without filters to DSD using the Weiss Saracon format converter and authored by Gus Skinas at the Super Audio Center.

According to the label, all titles have been cut from the original analog masters by Doug Sax, with the exception of The Doors, which was made from the best tape copy. Sax and Doors producer/engineer Bruce Botnick went through a meticulous setup to guarantee a positively stunning reissue series. Analogue continues, This is an all-tubes process. These masters were recorded on tube equipment and the tape machine used for transfer for these releases is a tube machine, as is the cutting system. Tubes, baby! A truly authentic reissue project.
