Re mastering of 'Blow Out'
The album was recorded in 1977, released on LP.
Having to deal with the technical starting point we had available, Njal Frode Lie at NFL Production has done miraculous work.
It's like listening to a totally new production, better than the original, in my view.
Original text - quote in Norwegian:
Re mastering av " Blow Out "
Albumet ble spilt inn i 1977, utgitt på LP. Ut i fra de tekniske betingelsene vi hadde til rådighet, har Njål Frode Lie hos NFL Produksjoner gjort en mirakuløs jobb.
Det er som å lytte til en helt ny produksjon, bedre enn originalen, etter min mening.
