🎶 Occasionally I come across an album where I am floored that the band never got much attention.

Today: Darkroom - A Curious Excavation #indierock

@toddgrotenhuis Interesting. The site says it was released 2016, but after some digging I found it on Apple Music from 2007. Much better fidelity. And I like it so far :) Thanks! music.apple.com/us/album/...

@tylerknowsnothing yeah, Discogs shows 2007 too. I think the date on IVM must be when they put it on their Bandcamp.

@tylerknowsnothing on the fidelity standpoint:

Bandcamp has 16-bit/44.1kHz

Does Apple have better? Or is it just a better recording?

@toddgrotenhuis I'm not sure of the specs, but it's definitely a better recording. It's listed as Lossless, which likely makes it Apple's ALAC. Wikipedia says that "ALAC supports up to 8 channels of audio at 16, 20, 24 and 32 bit depth with a maximum sample rate of 384 kHz."

@tylerknowsnothing Ahh ok, Apple doesn't let you buy in lossless, only stream. I do see they or on Qobuz though, which could also be a better version.

Thanks!
