I am just running through this album for the first time today but I have to say it is one of the best "Live" recordings i have experienced. I really feel like I am right there in the audience. Tracks 9 and 10 are great examples.

.....These guys and this recording just rocks. Pace, rhythm, tone and soundstage are just off the charts.
The precise placement of all four of the musicians perfectly matches the photos of the sessions.
The balance of all four instruments is darn near perfect. As you can no doubt tell, I am a huge fan of this recording.
It is one of the best in terms of recording quality I have ever heard. Of course, and as always,
your view of the actual music content may vary quite considerably from mine.
Nonetheless, I think we would all agree that this recording sounds sensational....Review about One Mic Recording by Joe Whip at Audiophile Style.

These recordings are indeed very impressive.
What I really like is as the reviewer says:

They are fantastic for speaker placement. Put on a pair of headphones and it is the same thing, same image as with my speakers.
I dont think I have any other recordings that does that. Impressive.
 
It is not really my type of music but I do agree that this very well recorded live album. This is how it sounds standing in the middle of a big crowd, watching a band on a big stage. Well done!
I like this ballad;

Those one microphone recordings are the closest to mono you can get while still sounding very wide.
What I mean is, it is one point stereo.

I understand what you mean but https://www.soundliaison.com/ One mic recordings or One point stereo sounds wider and larger than any other stereo recordings I know and more clear and phase coherent than any mono recordings i know off( if that is possible.:))

Ditto. These are just awesome recordings. Wider, larger, better. I had a buddy over that said “one mic - has to be mono” - then he heard them. Just wowza.

I get the same kind of reaction. Have to show my friends the Sound Liaison you tube videos or they won't believe it is one microphone.

Their latest release is "old fashioned" multi microphone.....but it also sounds pretty good. It has been mastered straight to 1/4 inch tape.

Only one on sale now is the brand new ONEMIC+ DXD recording UP JUMPED THE DEVIL with Carmen Gomes Inc. Sound Liaison Music Shop

But what an album, it's maybe the best Sound Liaison recording to date!

Here is a little note from Frans de Rond on why this is called a “One Mic +” recording, which is a quite contradictory term.

“There are several reasons at play why this is a One Mic plus recording.
Maybe the most important is that I realized that when we had Carmen so close to the one mic she was creating an acoustic baffle that covered up certain frequencies.
The same was true for Peter Bjørnild's double bass.
For this recording the role of drummer Bert Kampsteeg was very important. We wanted him to be able to play as freely and dynamic as possible. By moving Carmen and bassist Peter Bjørnild further away and supporting them with two Josephson C700A microphones, the drum sound got much more present.
You could argue that this is a return to old fashioned multi mic recording but I don't think that is true, drums and guitar and a big part of the double bass sound is still coming from the Josephson C700S. The microphone is absolutely central to the sound stage we have created.
The two C700A support microphones are identical to the C700S except that each has only one figure of 8 capsule.
But the beauty of these mic's are that spill coloration is much less of a problem. So they are perfect as spot mic's.
We wanted the small 'soundscape' compositions to have a very dark atmosphere (Peter said he wanted them sounding as dark as the Mississippi night), so I decided to add a spaced pair of Josephson C617 microphones up very high in the studio and let them be our main source of ambience. I think that worked very well. And also the deep drop tuned low 'A' of 27.5 Hz from the double bass got picked up very well by that pair. Such a low note is almost impossible to hear close up, somehow you only hear the upper harmonics generated, so that was an extra benefit of the ambient pair. And it made me fall even more in love with the sound of studio 2.
Another funny thing....I keep learning things about the C700S. I have to keep forcing myself to keep experimenting with distance, closer or further away from the mic, it is absolutely crucial to get the best possible sound. I don't think I have ever captured Folker Tettero's guitar better than on this album and it was a question of moving the right leg of the table with the amp on, 2 cm. (0,787 inch) backwards and there the sound was! Unbelievable.” Frans de Rond.

New review of the above mentioned album in HIFI-CRITIC;

This is about as simple a recording as you’re ever going to hear: two musicians, one microphone and each track performed live, straight to DXD recording – and it’s totally enchanting. Covering a range of well known tunes, and some compositions of their own, clarinettist Moore and bassist Berner were recorded at Hilversum by Frans de Rond using a single Josephson C7005 stereo microphone,
So the ambience and soundstaging you hear were a matter of configuring the studio and the position of the performers to create the desired sound. Then the two were invited to the control room to hear the sound, and ‘”This is us, this is how we sound, this is so real” was Michael’s reaction upon listening. Paul just smiled at Frans and said: “Let’s play!”’
All that spontaneity comes over in spades in this set, which has the usual Sound Liaison recording quality, plus that unmistakable sense of two musicians just bouncing off each other, improvising and making the shape of the songs up as they went along. This is as live as it gets, with a real ‘in the room with the musicians’ impression.
