What is the latest music you downloaded, what resolution and from where?
Posted by: Stevee_S on 13 January 2014
With more music being downloaded I thought it might be interesting to see what forum members are buying and from where.
The news that HD Tracks are soon to open an online UK store means that more choice is going to be available to us. The variety and quality of downloadable music we can choose from is expanding, MP3 to 24bit studio Masters at 192kHz and beyond.
So what are you buying and downloading?
Ghost Culture by Ghost Culture (16 bit)
Title by Meghan Trainor (24 bit)
Uptown Special by Mark Ronson (24 bit)
The Yes Album, HDTracks 24-192. I'm sorry to be cliche, but I'm hearing stuff I've never heard. I read a lot of great reviews of this version, and they are accurate.
Just a wonderful album. HiRes download from Burning Shed.
Crime of the Century 24/192 from Qobuz.
24/48 for free from Qobuz - Wagner Dudamel
High Res Audio 24/96
High Res Audio 24/96
High Res Audio 24/96
Nerina Pallot - Fires, because I love it and, for some reason, I only had it in mp3 and Newton Faulkner - Hand Built by Robots my copy of which had vanished over the years. Both 16 bit flac from Qobuz downloaded tonight
Can someone explain how to copy the album cover to a post?
Meantime, I am listening to 'All things must pass', 96/24 from HDTracks. I have also downloaded Tchaikovski 'Iolanta', with Anna Netrebko, from the same source. It has turned into multi-album spaghetti in Nserve, so I'm going to have to MP3tag it tomorrow, to give every track the same artist name. What a pain!

The description is for a digital camera as the source, but just copy and paste the image of the cover to your photos folder on your computer and take it from there. You will need a Photobucket or some other image storage account.

Girma Yifrashewa - Love & Peace
Once again I probably lack the proper vocabulary for this, so apologies in advance.
This is piano jazz of a mostly reflective sort. Girma is an Ethiopian by way of Bulgaria, so although the style is mostly Western there are sufficient oddities in it to make it interesting, quite apart from the tunes and musicianship themselves.
Have a listen on Bandcamp (link below), but I hear some Chick Corea in there, with a dash of Ryuichi Sakamoto, and maybe a pinch of Terry Riley (in Harp Of New Albion mode). I think it's rather delightful.
It's available in all formats, but I downloaded it as a 24/96 FLAC from the label's website. This week there's a 20% discount using the code "twenty15": http://www.unseenworlds.net/releases/love-and-peace

Philip Corner - Satie Slowly
While you're on Unseen's sites have a listen to this. It's exactly as described - Satie taken VERY slowly on the piano. It's a bit odd at first, but Corner keeps the tempo going in a way that it works. It's a double, so apart from the obvious Gymnopedies, Ogives and Gnossiennes you get a lewe of other less well know works from his early years (Rosy Cross for example).
Same 20% off code applies this week on the Unseen records site: http://www.unseenworlds.net/releases/satie-slowly
Bandcamp: https://unseenworlds.bandcamp.com/album/satie-slowly

Gov't Mule - Sco-Mule
Double album's worth of concert recordings (instrumental) from 1999 featuring Gov't Mule and John Scofield. It's a tremendous combination, with Haynes dovetailing with Scofield perfectly. $12 Bargain!
