Delivering the best in audiophile recording Uncompressed Volume 2 is a highlight to add to any true audiophile’s library.
Volume 3: Accustic Arts is back and are bringing you a dedicated collection to spotlight the male voice. Accustic Arts Uncompressed Volume 3 is a must have in your audiophile music collection. With 14 HiFi song recordings Uncompressed Volume 3 opens audiophiles world to a new selection of top recording from around the world.
Volume 4: Uncomrpessed Audio of Pianos Like You've Never heard. Accustic Arts aims to show how true that really is with the release of Uncompressed Volume 4. Compromising 12 classic tracks all played by themselves on pianos, you'll be able to hear the differences in both players and models of pianos.
Volume 5: An instrument made of metal. Despite this, it does not belong to the family of brass instruments. Its sister is not the trumpet, tuba or trombone. It is the clarinet, a wood wind instrument. Its relationship to the clarinet is explained by the way the sound is generated. In both instruments a reed is responsible for the sound.
Volume 1: All songs have been recorded within the last 20 years and have been selected in several auditions and listening sessions. The styles include World Music, New Age and Jazz.
Volume 2: Where volume 1 included 13 instrumental tracks, with Volume 2 we now present a total of 15 different, excellent recordings with the focus on the female voice.
Thus volume 2 features voices of 15 female singers from Europe and the US. The voices are all different and yet they have something in common: the tracks have a high musical and excellent sound quality. Along with a number of well-known names, there are also singers on the CD who are mostly unknown to the listener.
Let yourself be pleasantly surprised by the recordings, just as we were in the course of our extensive research and pre-listening activities.
Volume 3: We refrained from using well-known sources, but consciously decided to give unknown names a chance.
We have also repeatedly listened to the recommendations of sound engineers. The result is a selection of recordings we remain enthusiastic about even after many listening sessions. We are proud that Uncompressed World is distributed in over 35 countries, mainly via the high end audio trade. And we are curious to know how you will like our selection.

Volume 4: And you might find it hard to believe, but canned piano music has found its way into our compilation. Sampled sound, played on a midi keyboard, and edited on a laptop.
Our recommendation: before reading the booklet, first of all listen carefully to the CD, track by track. Try to find out which track was not played with a “real” piano. We wish you lots of fun during the search and even more fun with the audio journey through the Uncompressed World of the audiophile solo piano.
Volume 5: But that is all the two instruments have in common. The different age of the instruments is also considerable, as the clarinet was already invented 140 years before the saxophone.
The saxophone first became famous for its use in Jazz. And something else: there is not just one saxophone. In fact there are more than 10 variations. From big to small. From bass to tenor saxophone and from alto to sopranino saxophone. They all sound different. And if there was only a single type of saxophone it would sound different with every musician. That is the fascinating point about this instrument.
