"... adventurous piano playing, a low-vibrato alto and smart songs ... this is the kind of art we need to be on the lookout for everywhere." - The New York Times "... the sound here is about as good as it gets ... clarity and naturalness that enhance the ability to fully understand what Barber is trying to accomplish. Her piano has percussiveness, crispness and scale that allow you to suspend disbelief and feel like you are in the presence of the real thing. The electric guitar slashes its way through any part it’s asked to play. Drums are crisp and sharp. But it's Barber’s vocals that really stand out as three-dimensional ... a glimpse of a rising star at the beginning of her career, all in high-rez sound." - The Audio Beat A Distortion Of Love from 1992 is Patricia Barber's second album and her major label debut. Barber's trademark husky voice, technically-proficient piano work and innovative, intelligent, challenging songwriting frame an album steeped in maturity and sophistication. She has been called one of the most significant jazz artists to emerge in 20 years, and this album helped her build that reputation.

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!
