All files 320kb/s MP3.
Only a few of these tracks were available in lossless so I just converted those to mp3 for continuitiy.
*Wasn't able to rip the source WMA file streaming online so I ran it through an audio console and recorded into Adobe Audition saved as 320kbs MP3. Technically a transcode but deal with it.

Thanks Pete.

Listening to this now

I was listening to their two albums this morning. I definitely prefer the first one. I actually like the music more on the second (esp. for generals), but I think she sounds better on the first album, and she's obviously the heart of this band.

[Norah]

Yeah, at the end of the day I probably prefer the first album too. But it's a really close call.

[Norah]

This is where we wait for Lament to give his thoughts.

[Norah]

What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood is the first. It's more folksy with a motown feel at times.

Generals is second and it's very different from the first album. Broader instrumentation, heavier beats, studio trickery, etc.

I probably prefer the first but they're both excellent and it's a very close call. Kevin Davis has written some beautiful words about this band.

[Norah]

I recommend listening in order.

If you like these I'll then send you my Awesome Mynabirds Mix which combines their two daytrotter sessions with a few non album b-sides.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

If you like these I'll then send you my Awesome Mynabirds Mix which combines their two daytrotter sessions with a few non album b-sides.

I hope you can do it ala Lament style, and make it a real mix-tape.

I'd give it all for a legacy of love.

[Norah]

Give It Time from the first Daytrotter session might be my favorite thing this band has ever done.

[harmless]

I still can't listen to 'Mightier than the Sword' without bawling my eyes out.

[Norah]

Well you're kind of a bitch.
