****Welcome to our listing, thanks very much for looking!
OUT OF PRINT DXD / K2HD Disc! Rare title in the FIM catalogue and it's made using K2HD mastering technology!
Don’t be misled by the title… This university is called the University of Soul Faculty; it’s the name of the ensemble of Mr. R. J. Ross—who, incidentally, is not a professor either! Yet, he heads the ensemble, so he has every right to call himself the Professor of the University. I hope that is now clear.
Professor Ross composed and arranged most of the songs on this album; he even sang all of them. His music and his unique broken-voice singing style are definitely fine “sweet soul” creations.
This is the first 'soul' album to be produced at FIM. Beautiful smooth jazz male vocal with wonderful arrangement and sonority.
Professor RJ Ross was a founding member of the legendary Detroit funk band known as Brainstorm and played on their award-winning album, Stormin. His song from that album "This Must Be Heaven" still gets airplay world-wide to this day. The University of Soul is the name of the ensemble headed by RJ Ross on this first Soul album to be produced at FIM. Containing beautiful smooth jazz male vocals with wonderful arrangements and sonority it is a release not to be missed. Released on the audiophile format known as DXD Digital eXtreme Definition, LIM DXD CDs have taken the audio standard a step further to bring you closer to the source of the original recording. Playable on all CD players.
"I have not been a great fan of soul music, but after listening to this recording, I realized that the Professor’s interpretation is full of feeling and emotion… and I love it! I want to listen to it again and again, in particular, when I am exhausted with work. The Professor’s “soul” soothes my soul. The sound? Wonderful. Enjoy." - Winston Ma
DXD Digital eXtreme Definition: Digital eXtreme Definition (DXD) is an audio encoding scheme that was developed for editing high-resolution recordings because DSD, the audio standard used on Super Audio CD is not ideally suited for editing. DXD is a PCM-like signal with 24-bit resolution sampled at 352.8 kHz - eight times 44.1 kHz, the sampling frequency of Red Book CDs. The data rate is 11.2896 Mbit/s - four times that of DSD!
FIM/LIM DXD CDs have taken this a step further to bring you closer to the source. Instead of making two or more sample rate conversions as with SACD, FIM / LIM recorded the source in DXD! The data rate for a DXD mono signal is 8467.2MHz, or more than 3X the data rate of a typical SACD! Experience the closest you can get to the original performance in the comfort of your home!
