Lovely Broken Thing : A message from Rick and Karl

[Future Proof]

That's a good way to look at it, and something I hadn't considered.

It's like the Pearl's Girl EP....lots of weird b-side stuff and a single (in this case two singles, Jal and Lenne).

I paid more for the Pearl's Girl EP.....so I can't complain

Not album quality but a great little listen nontheless Totally worth it.

I look forward to downloading this release when it's released in a lossless format. Has this been confirmed or not?

guys it's encoded at 192. it costs $9. they're not going to sell you a crap mp3 for $9.

mp3 is, by definition, not lossless, not even with LAME.

I'm not worried about it being a crap mp3, I'm generally happy with and do download 192kbs mp3s but when I start buying music online I expect it to come in a lossless format. Depending on the sound system you listen to them on it will make a difference. I can quite easily tell the difference between a high quality mp3 and flac of the same performance which is why when I pick up bootleg I always take the time to wait for a lossless format release.

If there definately isn't going to be a lossless release, i will get it as it is; otherwise I will wait.
