Boston's Greatest

 Toby Mountain, joined forces with Tom Scholz and Bill Ryan to finish the mastering of the Boston Greatest Hits album, which will be released this summer by Sony on their Epic/Legacy label. The collection culls tracks from the first two albums, as well as songs from Third Stage, which were transferred from the original analog masters.

Tom Scholz, the mastermind behind Boston, has himself declared, “The difference is amazing to me. I never liked these old mixes on 16 bit CD; now they sound great.”

Arlo Guthrie teamed up with The Dillards to produce a new collection of Woodie Guthrie songs, entitled, "32 cents Postage Due." The album was mastered at Northeastern Digital by Toby Mountain. It features such timeless Woody songs as "Do Re Mi", "Reuben James" and "Pastures of Plenty" all done in a timeless Guthrie/Dillards style.

Toby also remastered several of Arlo's older releases, including the album "Amigo" from 1976 which was one of Arlo's great achievements during his early career.

One of the more young and up and coming artists to frequent the studio is the band The Brew. They have been touring with Bruce Hornsby and finished their latest album "Back to the Woods" in early spring. It was mastered at Northeastern Digital and could be a breakout album for this young group.
Something exciting, but a little different, is Terry Adam's (NRBQ) new solo piano album entitled "Love Letter To Andromeda" (Clang!). It features a radically altered "prepared" piano, invented by composer John Cage, played live by Adams at The Stone in New York City in January 2008. Toby and Terry worked carefully in the mastering to get the performance to come across accurately.
