[DISCOUNT EXPIRED] New Hi-Res Macy Gray album from Chesky Records

[Chesky Records]

"Sounding beautiful in the surroundings, you can hear the clicks on the bass strings, and the brushes on the side drum as it shuffles and dances sedately onwards. Over the top is ‘that’ voice, which was always (at least on the evidence of this) destined to be comfortable and (probably more importantly) authentic within Jazz. It’s so authentic, you can almost smell the tobacco stained late night club. Brilliant stuff." - Jim, Backseat Mafia



"This album comes to life in a pair of headphones." - Allie Martin, Black Grooves

"Macy Gray Is Back and Better Than Ever" - Elias Leight, Vogue

"This record showcases Macy Gray in what might be her bona fide persona. Gray is a throwback to the early days when jazz singers were not pretentious, but had to rely on their innate talent to carry the tune with raw emotion and sensual grace. Let's hope Chesky and Gray hook up again for an encore performance. " - James Nadal, All About Jazz

I've been listening to this album since midnight. Heard it 3x and it's amazing, nostalgia factor with maturity to the sound. Must have for audiophiles!

Thanks for the code!

 

[DigMe]

Yeah, even listening to it in compressed version sounded pretty great.

  Yeah, even listening to it in compressed version sounded pretty great.  

I took it one step further and went from 320kbps to APTX bluetooth then optical to my DAC and eventually into my Koss ES950. It was mind boggling the sound quality through this less than audiophile chain. And now I have the code, I get the proper FLAC files.

Stripped - Macy Gray
Excellent album, definitely will get on hdtracks when Chesky releases the discount code (hopefully the usual 25% off).

For now it's Spotify - Samsung Galaxy - Monoprice Aptx Bluetooth receiver - optical - MHDT Labs Pagoda - Audio-gd preamp - Koss E90 Energizer - Koss ES950

Amazing quality I wish I could share to blow your minds on possibilities over BT! Album is a must have either way

 

[Walderstorn]

much better than i expected.

I cannot buy anything from HD track due to geographical restriction, such a shame for those of us who are trying to do the right thing and support the artist but we cant as finding a legal copy to purchase is harder than finding an illegal version of the same song.

Where are you located? There's always Amazon or iTunes for the redbook copy. Also you should read into using proxy servers... one way around regional blocks.

Great! Thanks!

 

[LNuneek]

Wait...whut...
 
Macy Gray is on Chesky Records??!!
 
That's a big name artist.
 
Thought Chesky just did underground audiophile ****.

 

[JaeYoon]

Thanks yippee

 

[Soundsgoodtome]

The lossless version is much cleaner than the Spotify - clarity on instruments are a level above and Macy's voice isn't so pushed back. It's almost as if Spotify hads a different master?

 

[Youth]

Can someone post DR numbers?

 

[Decommo]

What format are you guys downloading? FLAC or WAV? First time purchasing HD tracks and not sure which format might be the best...
