1982 MULTI-PLATINUM SMASH BOTH CREATIVELY AMBITIOUS AND COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL
1/2" / 30 IPS analog master to DSD 64 to analog console to lathe
Hall and Oates' biggest-selling album also stands as their most ambitious. Recorded in 1982, when the duo practically owned the pop market, H20 strikes a keen equilibrium between polish, melody, muscle, and craft. The vocalists expand the emotional reach of their songwriting, and shepherd meticulous production and measured arrangements toward thrilling intersections of blue-eyed soul, edge new wave, soft rock, and dance. Staked to two giant singles, the double-platinum affair lingers as the group's last masterwork.
