Radiohead: The King of Limbs, Continued

[Dalton]

I still dig and listen to the album a few times a week.

7digital is selling TKOL in 24-bit FLAC.

Radiohead - The King Of Limbs (Deluxe Flac) MP3 music downloads - 7digital

Sweet, I love that this band keeps pushing the envelope.

Well, it's 24-bit but still only a 44.1 kHz sampling rate. I was really hoping for 24/96. I'll have to A/B this with the WAV files on my headphones and see how much difference I can hear.

The files are definitely bigger - the 16-bit WAV file for "Bloom" is 55.9 MB and the decompressed 24-bit FLAC>WAV is 83.9 MB.

I called some months ago that Supercollider would be on the new album, and here it is getting a release, albeit not on King of Limbs itself. Go me. I was a big fan of it!

I'm not a cunt, though, so there's also that.

 

[ultraviolet92]

has anyone downloaded the 24 bit FLAC yet? what does it sound like?

cobbler i cant believe you dont like amnesiac

Neither do I. You mad?

 

[cobl04]

Pyramid Song is top five for me, and I like Packt and Glasshouse. The rest ranges from half-decent to deplorable.

 

[ultraviolet92]

No fucking way.

No. The second version of Morning Bell is superior as a stand-alone song. I like the contrast between the paranoid version on Kid A, and the follow-up, which sounds like some kind of celestial, liberating release. It's a beautiful track.

Record Store DayHey guys, the Radiohead Record Store Day piece that Pitchfork and others are talking about today is a UK-ONLY release. Took us by surprise too, those sneaky Radiohead fellas!

Daaaaaaaaaang.
Still, hearing two new Radiohead songs (well, the new studio version of one and a totally new one) should be pretty sweet.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Put me down in the "kid a version of morning bell is far superior" camp

 

[cobl04]

Put me down in the "kid a version of morning bell is far superior" camp

Me too. The best part is that guitar break that lasts like five seconds, after "cut the kids in half"

I downloaded it but I won't be able to give it a serious listen until tonight.

 

[PhilsFan]

I prefer the Amnesiac version of Morning Bell.

 

[lazarus]

We're in a minority, Peef.

Glad to have you aboard.

 

[u2popmofo]

I like both.

 

[PhilsFan]

What a cop out. I thought a Utah man would have a little more conviction.

 

[u2popmofo]

Utahns are notorious historically for "liking more than one at a time", if you catch my drift.

 

[u2popmofo]

Is that essentially just a variation of the These Are My Twisted Words cover, except not as cool?

 

[nielsgov]

They really seem to be obsessed with trees and stuff.

Also, Codex > Pyramid Song. It has become one of my favourite Radiohead songs.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Is that essentially just a variation of the These Are My Twisted Words cover, except not as cool?

Yup. First thing I thought, too.

Lazy fuckers.

Still pumped to hear the songs.

 

[cobl04]

Funny how Supercollider is completely irrelevant now.

The Large Hadron Collider business was a lot of fun. I got a lot of enjoyment out of the idiots who thought the world was going to be sucked into a black hole. None of them know that numerous tests have been carried out successfully since.

 

[phanan]

Picked up the CD today for $7.99 and it came with a nice lithograph.

 

[corianderstem]

I picked up mine today (along with Britney Spears, because that's how I roll). I declined the lovely lithograph.

 

[phanan]

Britney was right next to them on the new release shelf.

Is it sad that it made me think of GAF?

 

[BoMac]

Is it sad that it made me think of GAF?

Yes. But only because Bruins fans are, in general, sad human beings. So this doesn't surprise me.

 

[gvox]

A few musings:

Reading through the PDF of The Universal Sigh made me think just what a joyful and positively uplifting piece of art Breaking Bad is.

Also, is TKOL Radiohead's NLOTH? I think I much prefer NLOTH.

That is all.

(see? I'm even writing differently after reading that...not that it is bad writing - indeed, some of it is quite good...but to quote one of my favorite Interferencers "that is pretty fucking bleak, man" :LESIGH: or something like that )

 

[phanan]

Yes. But only because Bruins fans are, in general, sad human beings. So this doesn't surprise me.

Ha. I'll bet you've been waiting for the right time to use that.

Glad I could help...

Glad to have you aboard.

I'm on that train as well. Of course, I'm just glad I'm on a train and not walking the trail ...
