I miss the rhodes! Why real piano? Confused oh well.
edit : same thing with they all surround. but i like it a bit more. but i guess these are demos technicaly.
ditto.


Well, these are basically just Room Noises leftovers. Though I like how they sound, personally.

Also ... I love how clear the vocals are on Escaping Song.

Yeah I figured they werent tweaked and tinkered with as much as the Room Noises songs since they werent really in the running for the album.

I like how the piano works on Surrounded. A lot.

i can't believe people prefer the live versions. i am so sick of those live versions and all of the static/crowd noise/etc. these studio versions are amazing!



i don't know what live versions you're thinking of, but there isn't any static or crowd noise in the verions of they all suronded me and the escaping song i listen to.
(minus the cheers at the beginning and end of the escaping song)


I like the live version of They All Sourounded Me that starts off with Stacy saying something like - yeah, it's the one about the dragon. heehee.


except im pretty sure that's chauntelle.


Could be. Metro Chicago 09/2004 They All Surrounded Me. I've played this one many times. It has a great feel to it. That and "Lady of the Wood" live at Slim's, except I can't get that one to play now.

I'm listening to it now. The finished versions of "The Escaping Song" and "They All Surrounded Me" sound amazing, though at first blush they seem a little low on backing vocals.

Anybody download the other songs? I think they're pretty awesome. I'm listening to Timmy Curran's first track now and he reminds me of Jeff Buckley. Not a comparison I just throw around casually.

I just got the two songs today and as much as I like the live sound of songs sometimes (I like the far away sound the recordings from live shows give sometimes - that may make me weird, I am not sure), I love the studio recording of Surrounded so very much. I love the Escaping song as well, of course.

I need to listen to them more since I just got them like a few minutes ago. Love them to pieces!

I just downloaded them.

SOO good. Yeah, the live tracks have a different feel to them. But these are soo crystal clear and in YO FACE. I love 'em. Especially They All Surrounded Me. I love the double stacy harmony on the second verse. Awesome.

Err...wrong. Music on CD's is encoded at 320 Kbps. iTunes gives you a MAXIMUM of 192 Kbps.


err... really wrong. music on cd's is encoded at 1411kbps. compressed losslessly using m4a the range is generally 500-100kbps, and typically around 750kbps, depending on complexity and volume, and about half that if it's mono, although these are very rough estimates. itunes gives you a maximum of 128kbps.

so, at best, you're loosing around 372kbps, and at worst around 872kbps, or almost 90% of the audio found on the cd!

still, i agree that for things like this, which aren't viable for physical release, itunes and such are wonderful. i only wish they had higher quality. Sad i'll probably buy it later, once i get permission from my mother, who has control of all my money... the samples sound really wonderful.

My apologies. You are right. I was extremely tired when I wrote that, and wasn't thinking straight. Wink What I meant to say was that a "CD quality" mp3 is 320kbps.

As for this, I don't use iTunes, so I was just going by what others in this thread have said. My bad.
