So, what formats did everybody go for in the end???
Personally opted for now for the triple CD deluxe thing:
29-track special edition 3-CD set packaged in an 8-panel card wallet including:
Lyric booklet.
CD1: 10-track album, A Kind Revolution.
CD2: 10-track album, A Kind Revolution - the instrumentals.
CD3: remixes and alternate versions of track from A Kind Revolution, plus non-album bonus track Alpha.
Was playing live on radio 2 this morning if you have interest on listening on iplayer.. not sure if you can get it thereQuote:

I think he means the "music" that doesn't show up when listening to mp3s and whatnot.Quote:

I'm referring to the loss of audio information in mp3 compression, not the number of tracks on Spotify.Quote:

I want it in the most convenient and accessible format that still allows me to enjoy it. :shrug:Quote:

Is the concert a faithful rendition of the album?
NB: It is, but all the tracks are expanded. Some of them are 12 minutes long now.

You can hum a tune in the bath and enjoy it, and ham & cheese sandwiches are a great-tasting meal to me, and that's all good.Quote:

Because it isn't there.
Of course it may also be true that one needs an 'ear' to notice differences in audio quality. I have no idea what the universe sounds like without an 'ear'.
