Easily our finest
and most ambitious CD to date! A massive 3-disc set includes: 24
tracks mixed in stereo (Disc 1), Disc 2 is a DVD-Audio (of all
24 tracks from Disc 1) mixed in 5.1 surround sound, and Disc 3
contains 29 tracks of alternate versions, bonus tracks and
archived material from a few days (and years) ago mixed in
stereo. 77 total tracks in all!
The music on Revelation was made
using some of the finest instrument samples available--no cheapo
keyboard sounds here, for sure. As for the
actual style, think of the dramatic scores you might find in
today's motion pictures. Made with the magician in mind,
Revelation doesn't just sound great--it works. And not only on
the stage. The concept behind making this in 5.1 surround was
due to the growing popularity of stage magicians doing close-up
magic using 'overhead'-type projectors to bring those in the
back virtually as close as the people in front.
Example: Imagine having the spectators in the back not
only being able to see the routine up close, but feel like
they're right there because of the special nuances bouncing all
around the theater via the 5.1 mix. Of course it wouldn't be an
Opus 1 CD it there weren't an ample supply of high-energy
illusion pieces as well, and this CD does not disappoint. Incorporating Electronica with Orchestral sounds, Revelation
sets a new standard in the music-for-magic market.
