Ulla van Daelen is considered the ambassador for the harp: "Simply amazing - we have never experienced the harp like this!"

With her virtuoso and soulful harp playing she has enchanted her audience in a unique way for decades! Her compositions are inspired by jazz, pop, folk and of course classical music in its most lively form! On her new album "Mandala" Ulla van Daelen presents her wonderful diversity as a composer and interpreter for the first time at Stockfisch!

The album "Pearl Diver" (2004) marked the beginning of an extremely fruitful cooperation between the American song poet David Roth and Günter Pauler from Stockfisch Records. Talking about his first encounter with the Chicago singer/songwriter David Roth, Pauler said at that time: "I was impressed by how he takes up vastly different topics with a self-confident intuition and turns them into works of art". This hasn't changed at all after 16 years, and David Roth still shines with his newest album "Meet You Where You Are", which is released by Stockfisch Records on SACD as an audiophile-masterpiece and is a collection of wonderful songs from different periods of Roth's life between 1990 and 2018.

"Rediscovering the tapes of this production after such a long time brought back memories
of how I first met Chris Jones: it was thanks to Charlie Carr, at that time working at an
army-shop in Southern Germany, who acquired for me a Crown DC-300 - the sensational
power amplifier of that time. As a way of thanking him, I offered him to do a recording at our
studio. Charlie was thrilled and brought Chris Jones with him, who was to accompany
him during the recording sessions. Thus began our wonderful musical journey with Chris
Jones."
Günter Pauler, 2019

"No matter what type of popular music you listen to today, almost every style has its roots
in the "Oldies" - the rock'n'roll of the '50s. There's something about the music of this
era that remains great even in the '80s. We tried to recreate these songs in such a way
as to bring back memories for those of you who still remember them, as well as to offer
something fresh and exciting for those of you who have never heard them before. I think
you will agree with us that "Oldies" never die."
Craig Hadden, 1980

The newest addition to the Stockfisch Records stable is an old hand in the business: Ian Smith - an excellent guitarist, singer and songwriter with Scottish roots from the “Keadue Strand” in Donegal/Ireland, as mentioned in the song of the same name.

He’s been in the business - and on the road -  for over 30 years, and the new album “Last Call” marks his first production for the Northeim sound-specialists as a Super-Audio CD.

Regardless of whether you have an award-winning harpist, a flute player comfortable in all styles, a busy multi-instrumentalist or a singer-songwriter who travels the world, these different backgrounds and horizons, experiences and peculiarities flow seamlessly into the Ranagri melting pot. The resulting music-mixture is a unique, sometimes singable, sometimes mystical musical fairytale world between intricate folk music, noble and elegant pop, artful and beautiful sounds, sympathetic pub-rock and flowing, eloquent singer-songwriter art. 

"You might think that, having written the songs and made demos of them, rehearsed
them and laid down the basic tracks, this album would be familiar territory for me. But,
thanks to Günter Pauler’s arrangements, it’s something of a magical mystery tour for me
- and, I hope, for you too. Günter always finds a new unexpected angle that I’d never
have thought of.

I’m feeling very lucky to be able to bring you this latest album in the company of such a
troupe of fine musicians, produced with his usual finesse by Grammy nominee, Günter
Pauler. Thanks to them all, from the bottom of my heart."

Paul Stephenson, July 2018

Love, death, politics, social commentary, these are all tools of the singersongwriter’s trade and, whether drawn from life or imagination, Reg Meuross wields them with the best, crafting songs that touch the heart, stimulate the mind. That is certainly true of this SACD, offering a collection of songs revisited from across his career.

We have documented the state of our previous analog studio technology in numerous photographs in the booklet. For the second volume of “Analog Pearls”, we played the two-track master tape on the same TELEFUNKEN M15A that Andreas Rohde’s recordings from 1983 were mixed on. Then, our MEITNER 1-bit DSD-Converter managed the leap into the digital age. Thus you can hear a native 1-bit DSD Layer on the SACD. Of course this SACD contains the special HYBRID-LAYER as well, so you can also listen to "Analog Pearls Vol.2" on a regular CD player, as you can with every Stockfisch-SACD!
