Why aren't McNeely and Mansfield's name on any of the cues? Mansfield did source stuff, right?

Am hoping Stepford Wives sticks around until I get paid next week. I've been listening to suites on Youtube ever since the announcement. LaLa Land have now released 2 of my 'surely no-one but me is that interested' grails now, the other being Dunston Checks In. Now they only have to do a Futurama score album and the trilogy of albums I thought no-one else wanted will be complete!

MV, may you be good enough to tell us what does mean the * at the end of some tracks on STEPFORD WIVES, please?


It does actually say what it means at the end of the post. smile

Hi MV,

Will Favor be available from somewhere like Bandcamp/Greedbag as one of the digital retailers? So those of us who prefer to buy our digital music in a lossless format (FLAC/ALAC/WAV) can. Much as I like Apple, iTunes and associated stuff, I rarely buy music from iTunes unless it is the only way to get the music. (It's even rarer that I buy from Amazon)

Haven't heard of that one before.

Here is a great truth...

99.5 of the planet couldn't tell the difference between FLAC/ALAC/WAV and an Mp4..

Sorry, that's just the cold and hard truth of it.

That may well be true, it's likewise true that many people can't tell the difference between a SD TV program and a program at 720p/1080p (my wife among them) or really hear the benefit of 5.1, 7.1 or 9.1 surround / whatever wonderful format the studios put out there on their Blu-ray Discs.

There are some of us that can hear (or see) the difference and who would rather give our money to get it in the best available quality. We can then rip it ourselves into MP3 / MP4 in the bit rates we want for our devices.

I don't just listen to my music streamed to my phone, but also on my Hifi. In the first case it is generally re-encoded on the fly to 128mbps MP4, it the later it is left in its original format.

It amuses me no end that on the one hand the studios are pushing for these wonderful audio formats and drowning us in sound effects (where most DTS mixes don't mix down to stereo very well) and on the other hand we are given low bit rates for music (first 128kbps, then grudgingly 256kbps) from some of those same studios/ labels belonging to those labels.

Anyway if it's not a issue, why not let us have the option?

Ugh, this discussion again? So everytime a digital release happens, you guys are going to discuss this?

Given it's a new initiative from LLL, I don't see the issue in asking the question. Tarasis asked respectfully, not like some of the OMG Shittunes! idiots.

Why is this point brought up every damn time? For many of us, the sound quality factor is only part of the issue, not all of it.

It would seem there are perhaps enough of them who put their money where their mouth is...

Except that that is a Kickstarter, meaning they have no money of their own to put in their mouth, rendering both your analogy and point moot.

Thank you Entr'acte, that's exactly it. Given this is LLL's first foray in digital releases it seemed worthwhile to ask them if they will/can do a lossless release. I don't want to derail the thread with a discussion over lossless vs not, we have other threads about that. Some labels and composers do release in lossless format (Silva, BSX, Varese via HD Tracks, Mark Isham via Bandcamp) and I try and support that when I can.

The one slight digression I will add, if LLL are going to support lossless then please consider doing FLAC/ALAC and not WAV. From a customer perspective that is the worst possible lossless format as the files are so much larger and the files can't be tagged. Which means after we download the music we have to re-encode it to FLAC/ALAC and then we have to tag each file by hand. It's better the label does it so it only needs to be done once rather than effectively forcing each customer to have to do it first before they can listen to the music. (This is really my only criticism of BSX's support of lossless)

And yes, as TerraEpon notes, supporting lossless over say CD is also about not having a house full of CDs, about being able to get releases on day of release rather than waiting for weeks for the post to arrive and many other reasons too.

It boggles me that more people don't retag their own music. The large majority of stuff I've bought figitally have horrible tags, and there's certainly NO consistency, except sometimes between ones in the same store.

Well, that wasn't my point at all. It was more in the fact that lossless allows flexibility that lossy doesn't give.
