Just as it’s four predecessors did, the compilation „closer to the music Vol.5 “ provides an aural overview of the latest and the forthcoming Stockfisch productions - this time for 2015. More than 79 minutes of unusual recordings and fascinating music.

Moreover, this compilation contains for the first time 3 multi-channel mixes in surround sound, among them a beautiful song from our Grammy 2015 nominated SACD featuring the wonderful Chinese singer Song Zuying and the China Philharmonic Orchestra.

"The eighteen selections are from current releases and upcoming projects. In essence this is a representation of the unique eminence of this label…that is acoustic music defined by pristine engineering."

" … Gunter Pauler continues to set the pace in enhanced detailed engineering. For anyone with a predilection for superior audiophile recordings, this is an opportunity to expand their collection by selecting for purchase some of the albums sampled." http://audaud.com

This is the third compilation from the critically acclaimed "Closer to the Music" sampler series:

You will listen to recent recordings of known artists like Sara K., Allan Taylor, Eugene Ruffolo and David Munyon , but also to new Stockfisch-discoveries like Dennis Kolen (NL), Paul O´Brien (CDN), BEOGA (IRL), Carl & Parissa (AUS), Beo Brockhausen (D) and more.

These recordings are nothing short of amazing; I can’t imagine anyone not finding something to love here. Very highly recommended! Tom Gibbs, http://audaud.com

SACD-Hybrid (DSD-Stereo + CD-Layer): 15 tracks (70 min.) among other with Sara K., Steve Strauss, Eugene Ruffolo, Mike Silver, David Munyon …

For the third edition of our Stockfisch Vinyl Vinyl Collection this time we selected titles from our current program, which fit soundwise particularly well on vinyl record: deep-sounding, smooth and transparent timbre characterize the 10 pieces on Vol.3.

Among them are "good old friends" such as ALLAN TAYLOR or STEVE STRAUSS - but also Günter Pauler's new discoveries for Stockfisch like CARRIE NEWCOMER from Indiana, Kerstin Blodig from Norway or the Anglo-Irish band RANAGRI.

Good to discover: although downloads and mp3-players conquer the world of media, the quality of 60 year old longplayer vinyl format still is appreciated by manies …

We compiled the tracks for this Vinyl Collection Vol.2 following the established criteria of the „closer to the music“ compilations: On one hand we want to offer samples of current Stockfisch albums, on the other hand we would like to give a sneak peek on our future CDs.

The first Vinyl-LP sampler by Stockfisch is released: the Stockfisch Records Vinyl Collection:

We selected 10 tracks from the Stockfisch repertoire of the last four years and cut them on an audiophile 180g-Vinyl. Featuring Sara K., Steve Strauss, Chris Jones, David Roth, Eugene Ruffolo, Paul Stephenson, Louis Capart, Mike Silver, Christian Willisohn and Ewen Carruthers.
