Well done, SW. 2016 showed that we really need to cherish all these greats while they're still going around making new music.

Somebody who wants to wants to listen to all the music, Jorge, not just about 10% of it.

I went for the vinyl edition, so i can use the sleeve to wipe my arse when i run out of toilet paper.

Are you making that number up, Ash? I'm always amazed at what I can find on Spotify. In fact, I can't remember the last time I wanted to listen to something and it wasn't on Spotify.

Fair play, made me laugh. :hehe:

Name on the list all the same, I am sure you realise this.

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

[World's End Stella]

That's three things I hate about Woking; Weller, Woking itself and their hockey team.

Weller cause he looks like an ageing lesbian, Woking cause it's a dump and their hockey team cause I almost got in a fight when we beat them 2-1 last season.

[Ash]

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

[Ash]

Would you rather watch a fillum or a football match in a high definition video format or on a grainy, low-bandwidth stream? It's the same principle.

Parallels to other arts like gastronomy could also be made. Personally I don't give a flying phuck about 'faine daining' but if people appreciate the difference in quality then fair play to them.

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

You mean there's a difference in quality between CDs and streaming? I guess I qualify for the dead ear category because I've never noticed it. Sounds great to me :shrug:

Lovely. I was going to ask if the gig was simply a representation of the album in sequence but the interview has answered that.

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.

Song of Life.

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.

With basic speakers you might not notice much difference between formats, and of course ear buds are an utter abomination to audio quality. If doing an AB test between a non-lossy (CD, even more so Vinyl) and a lossy (MP3) through decent amp and speakers, starting with the non-lossy, when you switch to the lossy you feel the need to turn it up to be able to hear it properly, and you keep turning it up and up but it is never there. 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'.

Ouch! Herbie appears from nowhere and dives in two footed.

Watch it, Java geek, one more of those and I may have to kill you. Or worse, take away your xBox.

... and of course ear buds are an utter abomination to audio quality.

You've obviously only tried the cheaper (wrong) wons, a.

Klipsch do an excellent range of in-ears. As do Grado.
