Who needs DVD nowadays anyway? The documentary is officially released both on DVD and in HD on Mark's YouTube channel. Here's a playlist:

That's right. I wish for the next release they would include a USB drive in a box, because HD version of Tracker is actually really good. Why to have state-of-the art studio and release the album on CD? What they're crazy? Put some HD tracks in there...

And as for this DVD, I've never opened it. I'd send it to Robson for free, but I'm too lazy to do that, especially when there's HD version on YouTube.

My God. I forgot about it and I have this box. However, this should be available separately.

With modern CD releases in state of the art studios (such as BG), I really challenge you to make any difference in a double-blind test between the same mix on CD and so-called "HD" tracks. Horizontally, 44.1Mhz is more than enough for any frequency your ear, as great as it may be, can deal with. Shannon was right... you can't hear ultrasounds, period.  They even may be harmful for your speakers (on top of taking a lot of space uselessly). Vertically, with proper dithering 16 bits has more dynamic range than between the drop of a needle and the digging hammers used in construction works...
Care about the mastering process rather than the media... CD is as good as it can be.

Yes, of course, I'm not even an audiophile and never was, although any little noise in the audio system could kill me :lol

But the idea of having an album in convenient official shape and in a format which you actually listen music to... It's 2018, man. CD what?
