The Artist
Clandestine Amigo
Gorgeous melodies, rich harmonies, full-bodied instrumentation. "A brilliant work."
Get ready for Temporary Circumstances. From the first note to the last, you’ll not be able to stop listening. Gorgeous melodies, rich harmonies, full-bodied instrumentation, and detailed recordings without compression or affectation. It’s as if you are in the room with the artists.
A truly remarkable work of the recording arts from PS Audio’s Octave® Records. Captured on some of the best microphones and electronics in the world and recorded in pure DSD on the Sonoma Multi-track recorder, this is a must-have disc.
We’ve produced a single pressing limited edition of 1,300 Austrian gold-pressed dual-layer SACDs with both the original master DSD as well as a special high-definition CD layer, playable on any CD, SACD, or DVD player, as well as a (soon to release) single pressing 2-disc 45 rpm 500 piece virgin vinyl run. When these physical media are sold out there will not be another pressing of either.
Do not miss out on this limited edition release of Octave Records’ second launch of its Master Series, available too as a download.

"It’s hard to pick a favorite since every track is blowing me away with such reality!! I have not heard my system sounding with this level of reality since I am breaking in my new P20 with Beeswax fuse and a fully loaded Farad Super 3 power supply to the Matrix!!" "Just downloaded new release on DSD and now listening to the second track (Enough) and the low frequency notes are loading my room and tingling my whole body!!! Extraordinary recording!! Can hardly wait to hear the rest of the recording!!" "...not only is the music tight, Jessica is a great song writer." "Simply superb. Jessica’s voice is outstanding. Musically, a highly enjoyable album from beginning to end. The quality of the recording is stellar. About as close to having the musicians in the same room as you are going to get. Well done!"

I enjoyed the CD
I enjoyed the CD! As good as the recording is on the album I’d love to hear it recorded live in a small club with an audience tho I know that’s not possible currently. Great job all around!

Incredible
On first listen, the thing that struck me the most, is that the whole presentation comes out of a very black background. the miking, mixing, and production is incredible. Loved the tracks that had cello on them, and Chris plays a mean bass, very understated and rhythmic. Hope to be able to play this for some audiophile friends…someday.

Reminds me of Carol King
Got to listen to it this afternoon and I think it”s wonderful. You can tell that everyone involved with this project had their heart in it. I don’t want to dissect it like some people seem to want to do; I just like the work as a whole. Jessica kind of reminds me a little of Carole King. For me, that’s a good thing.

Felt like I was in a cafe
I felt like I was in a small quiet café catching up with some old friends. No loud talking, no shrill voices, just the comfort of life. Well done.
