TOU 24 Bits WAVs and MP3s are now Live for Download
They do sound fantastic. I'll primarily use the CD to listen in my car, but I'll have the WAVs on my computer and iPhone. :) Also, apparently you can't upload album artwork for WAV files in iTunes? I didn't know that.

I'll post a longer one after I've had time to digest a bit, but I just had my first listen. It's absolutely sumptuous and without question their most sophisticated album. I need more time with "Simone" and "Laurel,&quo…

I just wanted to confirm that the 24-bit wav files are not, as of yet, available to download, correct? Just checking before I click "download" in the email.

Just 4 more days until we US peeps get to listen. I'm beyond excited. This is without question my most anticipated album release of the year!
