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?

Trygve Seim "Rumi Music" ECM CD 2449

This was from HiRes Audio, $16 AUD 24/96 FLAC Download

Unusual "jazz" from ECM, how surprising! Recommended by a friend who has actually sung with the artist. Great sound, definitely you need to listen to the lyrics to appreciate the concept. Not background music and not vanilla.

John Taverner - Missa Corona Spinea

The Tallis Scholars, Gimell Records, 24/176.4.

This is a magnificent Tudor polyphonic mass with stunning treble lines (here sung by sopranos) that for me verge on Allegri Miserere spine-tingle levels. I downloaded this from Gimell at the highest level as a treat (there are lesser resolutions available), and it's a stunning recording. Highly recommended if you like this sort of thing.

"This album presents sections from two recently restored soundboard recordings from the 80s. Originally available only via low quality unofficial bootlegs 'The Undulated Soundtrack For Phantasy' and 'Space & Sfears', we're now able to present these recordings as originally intended. We hope you enjoy this trip back to a time where analog synthesisers were having to compete with their newer digital rivals for the first time." ~ Some blurb

Steve Hauschildt - Strands

Qobuz 24/44.1 (also available at unknown resolution on Bandcamp)

Steve was one third of Emeralds and his subsequent solo stuff has been a deal softer and uniformly excellent (Mark McGuire's albums have been likewise very good if on the whole edgier). This is no exception - dreamy, melodic electronica with a couple of soft breakbeat tracks inserted.
