I had no data left on my phone so I was doing some bush regen listening to Refused and Violent Soho, only have four albums on my phone.


I have this version on CD somewhere too-

Holy shit, since Apple put all this shit out in lossless on Music my main headphones sound so much better. I always believed that the mp3 codec and similar at a high enough sampling rate was as good for human ears ‘IRL’ and I still think it actually is on some [playback devices], but on my fancy cans holy shit lossless is richerererrr.

Does it cost more? I used Tidal's high res for a month but it was only any good streaming to my bookshelf speakers.
I bought some Focal Elegia headphones which I hoped would have made it worthwhile keeping the high res plan but to me they sound pretty shit compared to my old Sennheisers.

Back to music, Dave can play the piano, had no idea-

I dunno, don’t think so. I just have Apple One and recently loads of stuff in my existing albums is suddenly all lossless.

This has been on the radio a bit lately, it's pretty odd, reminds me a touch of The Flying Lizards-
