I'm SORT of liking their glitch-hope genre at the moment. However I liked the original Monstercat, back when they were unique compared to the awkwardly popular UKF artists.
Even though I have moved out of the genre, I still keep artists like TVDS, Pegboard Nerds, Tut Tut Child. I have one song I loved from the beginning and still love it now: Punks by F.O.O.L. Those synthesizers were a whole new level after getting my first mid-fi headphones.
At first I thought bass was the main spectrum of techno, now it's the whole spectrum that makes everything amazing. However that's what drew me away from techno, I craved for more detail and eventually went to classical, rock and poprock.
To put everything in one post, is it necessary to download techno/monstercat albums in flac? I remember buying Monstercat albums back at 003 and I wasn't really into the audiophile business. So I only downloaded them in 320kbps mp3, unfortunately I can't redownload them in Flac. I really don't want to result in pirating because I like supporting artists, because all my friends torrent and I refuse to do the same.
How much of a difference will I tell between flac and 320kbps?
