Dubnobasswithmyheadman: 20th Anniversary 5-CD Deluxe Boxset

[vacant]

HD Audio is normally WAV or 320 MP3 depending. It's not a widely-used term so is pretty ambiguous.

What does it mean by 'hd' download - does this mean the BluRay version? I guess not because otherwise it would not be available in mp3/WAV?

Has anyone downloaded this yet? What is it?

I wouldn't consider anything less than 24-bit as "HD Audio"

So we know things about the development of every song on the album now?

Dark and Long had a demo with a few more Bigmouth elements,
Skyscraper had a demo with what seems to have become the lyrics to Spoonman,
After Sky's demo lacks the "Like I feel" sample from 'Can You Feel Me?'.
Surfboy's lyrics seem to have come from the Cowgirl demo.
Spoonman had a demo that lacks the "Don't put your hand where you wouldn't put your face" section, the lyrics that came from the Skyscraper demo.
Tongue sounds like it was longer originally. It fades out while Karl's singing. Lyrics came from the Cowgirl demo.
Dirty Epic evolved from Dirty and Dirty Guitar. Is Dirty Ambi a demo, or is it just a jam with the more ambient elements of the song?
Cowgirl's demo lacked the synths from the final. Had more to it in terms of lyrics. Wasn't using the percussion from Concord...
River of Bass on the album cuts out the whole middle section from the DAT tape version.
Mother Earth evolved from being an MKI song...

There's a very short section of the intro synth from Tongue (Also used in Big Meat Show) at roughly 9:35 in the Spoonman demo...

for those in the US, amazon.com has lots of good prices now
for the deluxe, and super deluxe versions of this.

i'm getting the bluray audio disc to check out,
should be interesting.

I'll tell you which track sounds like it has got a new lease of life with the remastering:

Surfboy!

Theres all kinds of stuff that you cant hear on the original that they've dug out of

Also, despite the fact it has aged quite well, should SToTI get a remaster? And as part of the multi disc special, Born Slippy (Remastered) has to be included

Uhhh, yes. Yes STitI should get a remaster. It's SQ is marginally better than DubNo, not to mention that Karl in interviews has said they definitely will do it. Slippy will likely get it's own disc, and probably own release too. After STitI quality starts to climb and remasters seem a little less needed, though I certainly wouldn't say no to them. Just so long as remastering the whole back catalog doesn't put new material on the back burner.

i haven't tried it yet, but i think it is for mp3 files also.

also, i got the bluray audio disc, and it has a code too.

but i think that is for mp3 files again.

*UPDATE : code from bluray is for mp3 files

For me the unreleased material is the main reason for buying reissues, not a better sounding version of the original. Having said that, the remastered Dubno really is a big leap in sound quality... but I'd buy a 5 disc set of all the others even if there wasn't a remaster, just bonus discs.
