Just for marketing purposes?
I have heard the album with a CD player which supports HDCD und compared it with the "normal" 16bit audio. It sounds the same.
I also recorded the 20bit HDCD and measured the dynamic range. You can say there is no difference...
Sorry for picking up the thread again, but...
is it possible to get these songs in better quality? Flac or 320kbit\s MP3 would be nice. I would pay money for it.
Thats true, but I think it contributed to the hard and chunky sound although I am also against low dynamic range.
The new Terrestial Exiled song has actually quite good dynamic. Matches more the style of Spastic Ink, but with even better production.
