UHQCD stands for Ultimate HiQuality CD. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate but are cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. To protect the softer photopolymer, a further layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied as scratch-protection. The combination results in a significantly reduced reflection of the laser light inside the CD and an unmatched precise edge transitions between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with regular CD players. Musically, there is a sound image reminiscent of analog master tapes.

Macy Gray
Contemporary R&B
Format:
CD
Rubine gehören zu den seltensten Naturschätzen der Welt. Die begehrteste Korundfamilie, die karminrote Farbe des Edelsteins, fällt sofort auf - als ob sie Leidenschaft aus der Erde selbst extrahiert und in mineralischer Form kristallisiert. Ähnlich nimmt Macy Gray einen seltenen Platz im Kanon der modernen Musik ein.
Ihre unverwechselbare Stimme und ihr Gespür für den Soul machten sie zu einer Ikone des 21. Jahrhunderts. Weltweit wurden mehr als 25 Millionen Alben verkauft und mit einem Grammy-Award und zwei BRIT-Awards ausgezeichnet.
Für ihr zehntes Album hat Macy Gray bewusst den Titel Ruby (Rubin) ausgewählt: Er ist königlich, rot (welche ihre Lieblingsfarbe ist), mächtig und hat Geschichte. Er ist klassisch – so wie dieses Album.
Sie vereint den R&B und den rauchigen Jazz, der ihr am nächsten liegt, und machte einen Sprung nach vorne, indem sie auf prägende Inspirationen zurückblickte. Diese reicherte sie aus Elementen von bezaubernden und schillernden Klanglandschaften an. Ruby zeigt das breite Spektrum der Sängerin und präsentiert Macy Gray leidenschaftlich, poetisch und kraftvoll.
