Title: Coloursound Library (Lossless)
Post by: BlackwatchPlaid on February 13, 2018, 03:31:25 PM: (http://i.imgur.com/BLvqpo1.jpg)

Munich based experimental, progressive library label, established in 1979, created by Gunter Greffenius. Artwork paintings were often created by his wife Waltraud Greffenius.

It’s 1980, and nestled in the mountainous terrain of Munich, Germany, Gunter Greffenius’ upstart production music label Coloursound Library releases their debut album. Capitalising on the success of Ridley Scott’s Alien film, the label dropped Biomechanoid, featuring cover art commissioned by HR Giger – whose horrific Necronom IV lithograph served as the basis for the design of Alien – and the music of the relatively unknown Joel Vandroogenbroeck. Comprised of bleak, cinematic synth soundscapes and percussion, the album served as an inaugural calling card for what would be a decade of dizzying solo releases by Vandroogenbroeck for Coloursound, running the gamut from Mesopotamian ethno-folk to synth sequencer funk to electro drum breaks to in-utero ambient delights. But to stop there would be selling him short.

Here's a not-so-nearly complete selection of releases from the Coloursound library. It's everything I could grab from APM Music a little while back along with a few titles provided by Greta. There are a few holes here and there, and our own Flemming has graciously offered to fill a few of the missing titles in once this thread is up and running!

All albums are FLAC, 16bit/48kHz and 24bit/48kHz.

Title: Re: Coloursound Library (Lossless)
Post by: zach on February 15, 2018, 07:10:35 AM: cool, the CS 45 - Colours rip is one of mine. think i've listened to pretty much all of these and it seems to be the lone gem of the library, for my tastes at least. i've also got the PRiTV CS 42 - Love record, one of these days i'll make a high quality rip of it.

thanks for 'Contemporary Group', never heard that one before. in it for the Jan Cichy tracks alone.

i am interested to hear any of the PRiTV Band stuff from the CS 50s, anybody have 50, 53, 55, or 59?

Post by: roope on February 15, 2018, 07:30:50 AM: I have 50, 53 & 55 on vinyl, i can rip at some point if there's no existing rips yet or if upgrade is needed.
Title: Re: Coloursound Library (Lossless)
Post by: zach on February 15, 2018, 09:11:14 AM: i was poking around and found links to all of them, so it's all good. but many thanks for offering roope!

Your mega postings are starting to resemble the Big Bang that initiated our universe. Damn!

I have a request per se. The link is kaput for:
CSCD 25 New Trend (24bit, 48kHz WAV)

When you have the time, will you please reload the release?

Post by: scotch111 on September 02, 2023, 02:45:45 AM: Sorry to be an audio nerd here, but it's my actual day job, so please bare with me...

CS21 has a serious problem. It hasn’t been Dolby decoded!!

The master tapes would have come from an era (70s and 80s) when Dolby A noise reduction was industry standard. Dolby A was a process that encoded a very bright and compressed signal to tape above the noise floor, and then decoded with the reciprocal curve on playback, thus reducing inherent tape hiss significantly.

However, if you were to play back Dolby tapes without decoding them, they would sound super harsh and bright, which brings me to this. It seems that whoever was tasked with digitizing the master tape for CS21 did so without decoding it! Not sure why, but it happens.

Since I think CS21 is a rad album, I’ve decided to fix it with my very own Dolby A301 unit. It's not 100% perfect mind you because ideally you would have a Dolby reference tone (from the tape) for calibration (which we don't have here) but it definitely sounds fuller, more dynamic, and easier on the ears now that it’s been decoded, IMO.

So if you like this record as much as I do, give this version a listen!

Post by: Greta on September 02, 2023, 12:03:44 PM: Scotch, your comment is not a problem at all. On the contrary, it's useful to understand such things.

I think the rip I shared was the digitalization available on APM site. Not sure 100% but I would bet on that.
Which brings to the next matter: is this a problem affecting CS21 only, or all of the CS on APM site?

Did you try to download also CS42 and CS45 I shared the same day? They come from the same site.

For now, thanks very much for the restoration job.

I love it when the audio experts get involved in topics. No, really, I mean it. Thanks, scotch111. It reminds me of when we used to play cassettes back in the day. Often the quality of the recording and/or the tape was so poor that we found the best way to increase the top end of recordings to come even close to what we got from our vinyl was to switch off the Dolby B button. Often it "sounded" better and less muffled. Though in retrospect the sound was harsh and often lost the lower frequencies. Not to mention the increase in tape hiss on the quiet bits! :)

Scotch, your comment is not a problem at all. On the contrary, it's useful to understand such things.

I think the rip I shared was the digitalization available on APM site. Not sure 100% but I would bet on that.
Which brings to the next matter: is this a problem affecting CS21 only, or all of the CS on APM site?

Did you try to download also CS42 and CS45 I shared the same day? They come from the same site.

For now, thanks very much for the restoration job.

Yeah, I'll check the others as well within the next few days.

Sorry to be an audio nerd here, but it's my actual day job, so please bare with me...

CS21 has a serious problem. It hasn’t been Dolby decoded!!

The master tapes would have come from an era (70s and 80s) when Dolby A noise reduction was industry standard. Dolby A was a process that encoded a very bright and compressed signal to tape above the noise floor, and then decoded with the reciprocal curve on playback, thus reducing inherent tape hiss significantly.

However, if you were to play back Dolby tapes without decoding them, they would sound super harsh and bright, which brings me to this. It seems that whoever was tasked with digitizing the master tape for CS21 did so without decoding it! Not sure why, but it happens.

Since I think CS21 is a rad album, I’ve decided to fix it with my very own Dolby A301 unit. It's not 100% perfect mind you because ideally you would have a Dolby reference tone (from the tape) for calibration (which we don't have here) but it definitely sounds fuller, more dynamic, and easier on the ears now that it’s been decoded, IMO.

So if you like this record as much as I do, give this version a listen!

I love it when the audio experts get involved in topics. No, really, I mean it. Thanks, scotch111. It reminds me of when we used to play cassettes back in the day. Often the quality of the recording and/or the tape was so poor that we found the best way to increase the top end of recordings to come even close to what we got from our vinyl was to switch off the Dolby B button. Often it "sounded" better and less muffled. Though in retrospect the sound was harsh and often lost the lower frequencies. Not to mention the increase in tape hiss on the quiet bits! :)

In cassette days, I hated Dolby B and only ever used it if the hiss was excessive. I got round the top frequency loss by turning the treble up and the bass down. Well, there were very few methods available in those days to improve sound!
