Opus 3 - LP25001 - 180 Gram Virgin Vinyl - Pressed in Germany

Yamina's How Deep Is the Ocan is a conceptual album of soft jazz with colors of Latin rhythms and is based on the Danish author H.C. Andersen's dramaturgy of the story of "The Little Mermaid".

It is the first album recorded in 8-channel native DSD128 for Opus 3 Records and, of course, mixed 100% analogue, i.e. it has never been in the PCM domain which is also what 'native" stands for.

This is a 'live recording' with no audience, where everybody played together with no overdubs.

Recorded Live in Jarna Kulturhus Concert Hall, August, 2015
