Reviews :
This is the 3rd record of the wonderful UK based singer and songwriter Reema on LowSwing Records.
After the success of “the LowSwing Sessions” (LOSW002 2017) and “Memories fade to tape” (LOSW005 2020) both voted albums of the month/year on many magazins and highly regarded for their sound and music by the audiophile community, here is “One for Sorrow, Two for Joy” to be released on April 4th 2025.
On this album Reema joined two outstanding musicians: Dan Hemmer, one of the world greatest Hammond player, known for his part in the trio “Blicher Hemmer Gadd” (with Michael Blicher and Steve Gadd) and “Deutsche Jazzpreis 2022” winner, Tilo Weber on drums and percussions.
The album contains 10 new beautiful songs by Reema pressed using the audiophile “one step processing” at 45rpm on 3 sides (2 vinyl), produced and recorded by Guy Sternberg and done fully analogue.
One Step. Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, one-step plating uses only one step, bypassing two processes of generational loss. One-step plating skip the regular father-mother process, going right to a single convert and then pressing. Though this dramatically increases mastering and production costs, it also assures each run is more consistent from disc to disc, with less noise, clearer details and deeper bass. Reducing production complexity to just a single "convert" disc between the lacquer and the press greatly improves groove integrity, diminishes non-fill anomalies and increases signal integrity from the master tape to your system.
