Digital Booklet
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of John Mayer's Dhammapada in 2016, the dramatic and atmospheric album was transferred and remastered in high-resolution and combined here with two previously unreleased works by the late Anglo-Indian composer. Portraits of Bengal and Tantrik Dances both feature Mayer’s characteristic East-West fusion style, providing an excellent coupling to the long out of print Dhammapada.
96 kHz / 24-bit PCM – First Hand Records Studio Masters

This album is a high-resolution digital transfer of material originating from an analogue master source. It may contain noise, distortion or other artifacts, and may also contain audio which is limited in bandwidth or dynamic range, due to the technology available at the time of its production. As such, it is offered as a high-resolution documentation of a historical release. Dhammapada recorded at Landsdown Studios, London, 1976 Produced by Denis Preston Engineered by John Mackswith Portraits of Bengal and Tantrik Dances recorded at Pittville Pump Rooms, Cheltenham, July 11, 1974

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
