When compressed into standard MP3s, these delicate sonic layers are flattened. The high-end shimmer of the cymbals turns muddy, and the deep, melodic basslines of Patrick Djivas lose their punch. A lossless format (FLAC) preserves the exact bit-for-bit data from the master CDs.
A sharp turn into West Coast jazz-fusion. The uncompressed format brings out the crisp, biting horn sections and syncopated electric piano grooves.

Many CDs included in this 39-disc comprehensive set have been remastered over the years to fix the muddy frequencies inherent to early 1970s Italian vinyl pressings.
