Afgelopen dinsdag had is de 24/96 gepost uit 2003
Vandaag kwam ik de Japanse uitgave tegen geremasterd in 2015.

Het verschil is niet groot in kwaliteit, misschien zelfs een voorkeur, beide klinken net iets anders.
Voor degene die graag de ISO direct af willen luisteren via Foobar zullen hier blij mee zijn.

Voor de anderen zit er een PDF bij om zelf 24/96 (of een andere resolutie) te kiezen (via Foobar)

 Flesh + Blood suggested that Roxy Music were at the end of the line, but they regrouped and recorded the lovely Avalon, one of their finest albums. Certainly, the lush, elegant soundscapes of Avalon are far removed from the edgy avant-pop of their early records, yet it represents another landmark in their career. With its stylish, romantic washes of synthesizers and Bryan Ferry's elegant, seductive croon, Avalon simultaneously functioned as sophisticated make-out music for yuppies and as the maturation of synth pop. Ferry was never this romantic or seductive, either with Roxy or as a solo artist, and Avalon shimmers with elegance in both its music and its lyrics. "More Than This," "Take a Chance with Me," "While My Heart Is Still Beating," and the title track are immaculately crafted and subtle songs, where the shifting synthesizers and murmured vocals gradually reveal the melodies. It's a rich, textured album and a graceful way to end the band's career.
