Thanks for this follow up info. I downloaded the app to my MacBook, went to go purchase the digital download, but the app states that the "digital album not available for purchase on this device." I guess I can't win. My MacBook is where I keep my music library and all my FLAC and ALAC files. The album seems to be available as a high-res digital download, but not to my MacBook for some reason. Looks like if I want this album, I'll have to get it on CD.

??? I’ve never heard of this happening but must admit that I’ve only tried digital downloads twice with my MacBook Pro. I wonder if they have some kind of DRM thing going? It would be a good question to ask to either Bandcamp or Mac technical support. It’s frustrating- many times on Qobuz you’ll find a title that you want to check out but when you select a song from it a pop up tells you “the record label doesn’t allow streaming of this title” (or something along those lines). I don’t get it.

Thank you - I really appreciate you taking the time to look into this. From this link, we see that Apple doesn't allow direct downloading. Very odd, because I download high-res audio files from Quobuz and Pro Studio Masters to my MacBook. It looks like band camp wants you to use their app to listen, which is likely not lossless audio. It's OK, I can likely just purchase the CD and save it to my music library.

You really need to check out the release above- one of the better I’ve heard in a while!

Thanks for the heads-up! The new Albion album is seriously one of the best things I've heard this year!

I saw PT for the first time last year, and that was by far the best sounding drums I've ever heard in a concert. Gavin's a beast.

Steven Wilson is a stickler for good sound too and that's why he's sought out for remastering albums.

Tonight we roll back to 1999 with a classic symphonic progressive release- definitely a must listen!
Now Playing:
Nexus- Detras Del Umbral (oh- vocals are in Spanish)

Bandcamp update (for those interested in purchasing/downloading).

I used the web and not the app, to set up a new account. I bought the Albion Lakesongs digital album, and after the purchase, I was brought to a page that allowed me to select the download format I wanted (I chose FLAC) and downloaded to my laptop. From there, I put the album (24/48 resolution) into my Collibri media player.

So far, so good! @rids57 @Designsfx -Appreciate the guidance from you guys helping me through this.

The God Shaped Void (2020) by Psychotic Waltz - bought the CD off Amazon back in 2020 after @YtseJamer posted a couple of YouTube tracks off it - it's really good progressive metal. Sadly it's not available on Bandcamp which is probably a relief to wallets BUT their four earlier studio albums are on there. I'm contemplating getting them from Bandcamp but I need to do a lot of listening first because although it's the original lineup on this album, there is a 23 year gap between albums 4 and 5.
ps. All of their studio albums are available on Amazon Music Unlimited, so I assume they will be on the others too.

I've really been enjoying some Karfagen lately. Great production too.

New Big Big Train single

Spent the night playing the four earlier Psychotic Waltz albums and woe is my Bandcamp spending this month.

1) A Social Grace (1990) - A bit rough and ready but the building blocks are there
2) Into The Everflow (1992) - much smoother and improved songwriting
3) Mosquito (1994) - Huge improvement in everything, this is a really good album
4) Bleeding (1996) - Exceptional album and just as good as their latest, The God Shaped Void, just a terrible shame that they went silent for 23 years.

Off to have a listen to the new Aristocrats album, I bought that without listening, it's quality guaranteed - it's been an expensive night on Bandcamp

Bought! Now to run it through PGGB scaler to wring out all the goodness. Love these guys. Bryan Beller’s - Scenes From The Flood is a favorite album.
