About The Mystic Moods - The first MM album, "One Stormy Night," was an overwhelming debut success. The concept was new, different and delightful – combining magnificent music with familiar sound effects, rain, trains, the orchestra of nature. But, to no one's surprise, this was not a one-time hit. Time and again this phenomenal pairing has produced acclaimed albums.
For this recording, the mixture is as before. Just as exciting, just as intriguing a listening experience. and while what's in store should no longer be a surprise, you're sure to enjoy the thrilling new selections, many taken from famous films.
The emphasis here is on the universal emotion, LOVE. Never has the romantic theme been so eloquently presented. Forget about other sendoffs to the romantic state. All you really need is love, Mystic Moods-style.
About The Studio - Romanticism aside, the secret of the intimate sound of The Mystic Moods is the thirty-one talented musicians and one recording studio: Gold Star Recording Studio A, in Hollywood – the birthplace of the smash hits performed by Sonny and Cher, The Buffalo Springfield and Herb Albert, to name just a few, and Engineer Stan Ross who caught the message that was written and transmitted by one of the most gifted arrangers and conductors in today's music world, Don Ralke.
About The Recording Equipment - All of the music for this album was recorded on a Scully 8-track, solid state recorder. Neuman, Eletro Voice, Song, RCA and Senhauser microphones were used.
A special modified stereo tape deck, solid state, and AKG and Neuman SM-2 microphones were used to record all of the sound effects on location, via portable battery and converter for remote electrical power.
