firedog Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I see seven albums on Tidal, 6 of which are some kind of anthology/collection. So maybe a small change in policy, but not something groundbreaking. Not like they made Keith Jarrett's ECM catalog available for streaming.

firedog Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Wow, now I see albums I couldn’t see earlier today. Even some fairly new ones, that haven’t been made available for download yet (typically 6 months after disc release for ECM, but maybe this will change now, too). Looks like the full Keith Jarrett ECM catalogue is at Tidal. Could be some country differences, I guess.

Not at all curious. Just a sign of what a lot of people have been predicting about MQA: part of the idea is to limit consumer hi-res access to MQA. It may also have something to do with Manfried Eicher's dislike of the streaming model: he doesn't want to put his best versions on streaming.
