With the sequence secured, we went to New England Digital Recordings (NEDR) to get the disc mastered. Mastering prepares the music for its final fate as zeroes and ones in a CD groove. First Toby Mountain, the owner of NEDR, transferred the songs from half-inch tape to hard drive. During the transfer, Toby boosted the lows and highs of the EQ. This made the songs sound fuller and more present; more life in the vocals and more "seat" in the bass and kick drum...

But just as prayers are ultimately about love, Sade's CD is suffused with that emotion as well. Not groping adolescent love but reflective, mature love in various forms. The Sweetest Gift explores love between a mother and a daughter (Sade wrote it for Ila); King of Sorrow is a pessimistic take on breakups; and By Your Side is a tribute...
...proved anything, it's that we love music--especially when it's free. David Bowie apparently agrees. He's offering an unreleased live version of the song Ziggy Stardust gratis to anyone who buys his latest album, Bowie at the Beeb. How will he know that you bought the CD? When you play it in your computer with MusicMatch Jukebox 6.0, you're automatically asked if you'd like to download the free track. See, Bowie's looking...
