Transcendence - Crimson Glory (Vinyl)

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing of this album from the progressive metal band. Transcendence is the second studio album by Crimson Glory, originally released in 1988. It is considered by many to be their finest work. It was recorded at Morrisound Studios. The drums are a combination of both live and sampled drums. The band sampled drummer Dana Burnell performing live drums into a synclavier without any cymbals, and then re-recorded the cymbals live later in order to have complete separation of drums and cymbals. Guitarist Jon Drenning stated "It was a very arduous and time consuming way to do it but at the time it seemed like something we wanted to try to achieve; a pristine, clean sound and true separation of all instruments."
