robcentola Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Absolutely, these guys are the most exciting trio around IMHO. Thanks for this. About ready to hear to the gym. Now I have my own new little world on the treadmill Sounds great in Tidal. Link to comment
burnspbesq Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 GoGo Penguin's albums are available as CD-resolution FLAC or ALAC files at Bandcamp UK. Ten pounds well spent, IMO. Office: MacBook Pro - Audirvana Plus - Resonessence Concero - Cavailli Liquid Carbon - Sennheiser HD 800. Travel/Portable: iPhone 7 or iPad Pro - AudioQuest Dragonfly Red - Audeze SINE or Noble Savant Link to comment

Melvin Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 After listening to GoGo Penguin on TIDAL I quickly became a fan, purchased v2.0 yesterday and Fanfares today. I love this band! Link to comment
Mihnea Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a high-res download available, so this is only redbook. Well, it will never be one since they recorded the music 44.1/24. I got this info and a temporary link to a download 44.1/24 directly from Bernhard Schuler, the piano player from Triosence, as a courtesy. Mihnea Link to comment

I got this info and a temporary link to a download 44.1/24 directly from Bernhard Schuler, the piano player from Triosence, as a courtesy. It's all a question of definition and personal opinion, but in my view 44.1/24 qualifies as high-resolution. I have heard instances where moving from 44.1/16 to 44.1/24 makes a noticeable difference to the quality of sound. Link to comment

Well, I could do a small test with one of the tracks from the CD compared to one from the download, but I am not sure my ears are that good at spotting any differences :-) Link to comment

hjfischer Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Qobuz: "Not available in your country" Can't find it anywhere Albums by this artist are available on RDIO. Link to comment
JbJordan Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I purchased Thierry Maillard Trio: The Alchemist off Qobuz a month ago, presented as 24/96 hirez. Analyzing it with Musicscope shows: No doubt an upsampled 16/44.1, with heavy compression. This smells of fraud! Link to comment
Bugsrus Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Very, very good news. I've seen it scheduled for 27th of January. Is this (new Giovanni Mirabassi) available for download somewhere? Thanks Link to comment
mkrzych Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Is this (new Giovanni Mirabassi) available for download somewhere?Thanks Yes, on the CamJam website in mp3 and WAV. -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art.

Analyzing it with Musicscope shows:[ATTACH=CONFIG]16701[/ATTACH] No doubt an upsampled 16/44.1, with heavy compression. This smells of fraud! The previous album from Thierry from 2013 was recorded in 24/44. I suggest you send an email to their customer service to find out.

Musicophile Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yes, on the CamJam website in mp3 and WAV. Thanks for sharing. I suppose I'll wait some days to see if it eventually shows up on Qobuz in high resolution. Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment
kumakuma Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yes, on the CamJam website in mp3 and WAV. Do you have a link? I did a quick Google search but couldn't find it.

I did a quick Google search but couldn't find it. http://www.camjazz.com/8052405141514-no-way-out-cd.html Bad news: I just noticed that is previous album on CamJazz, VivaVerdi, is also only available as redbook on Qobuz. So maybe there won't be a highrez version released of this either. Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment
kumakuma Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 No Way Out - Giovanni Mirabassi Bad news: I just noticed that is previous album on CamJazz, VivaVerdi, is also only available as redbook on Qobuz. So maybe there won't be a highrez version released of this either. Thanks, I appreciate it. I assume from the discussion that it is in 16/44.1 format. The page doesn't seem to say. I wonder why they went with WAV as their lossless release format. Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment

BTW, I have listened quickly and not too much like the vibraphone addition here. VERDI i like more, but YMMV. -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art.

Usually I don't like strings with Jazz, but this one does it nicely. I'll probably end up buying the new one at CamJazz in the next days.

Musicophile Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Just discovered a brand new trio album that is a lot of fun: Dieter Ilg: Mein Beethoven All tunes are variations on Beethoven themes. Couldn't listen to it every day, but they really do a good job with it. Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment
Guidof Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Couldn't listen to it every day, but they really do a good job with it. "You wouldn't eat this every day." Julia Child. ;-) For my system details, please see my profile. Thank you. Link to comment
Musicophile Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 OK, report back please how you like it. Apropos strings in jazz I found latest Chris Potter album on ECM called Imaginary Cities exceptional! Just bought it now. What a stupid idea to offer WAV; basically zero tagging, not even track numbers. So threw it at XLD, now giving it some proper tagging and will be listening in a minute. Really looking forward to it. No cover art or booklet either by the way. I'll also check out the Chris Potter, but his previous stuff wasn't really my cup of tea.
