Talking Heads Studio Albums -flac- -darkangie-

Best FLAC Source: 2005 Warner Bros. Remaster (FLAC level 8 compression). Conclusion: The final album. The saxophone in Mr. Jones demands high bitrates. DarkAngie’s version of this was often an LP rip with audible inner-groove distortion. The CD FLAC remaster is superior.

Best FLAC Source: 2006 Brick & Mortar Remaster or 2020 "Lacquered Master" (44.1/16 or 96/24 FLAC). Why you need it: The raw energy of Psycho Killer needs bass extension. Early CD pressings (which DarkAngie often used) clipped the low-end. Look for a FLAC rip of the Japanese SHM-CD or the recent Rhino high-res digital. Talking Heads Studio Albums -FLAC- -DarkAngie-
