I have been listening to the live anthology for a while now. I have the 5 CD's and the Blu-ray with 24bit/96Khz files. (only available in a box set) This is extremely well recorded/mastered. There are a number of great covers. For convenience, I look forward to lossless ripping the blu-ray one day to my iTunes (when I eventually get a BD drive for the mac) but the CD is very good. Ryan Ulyate is the man - NO Loudness Wars crap here - pristine stuff - a real pleasure - just like they made 'em in the good old days - interview here |
