Empirical - Out 'n' In

[ejp626]

There was a bit of a feature on Empirical's new CD Out 'n' In on BBC a week ago. I caught part of it and was pretty intrigued. Anyone else heard much about this CD? The CD doesn't release until a bit later in the month, but it can be ordered or downloaded from the Naim website: http://www.naimlabel.com/recording-naimcd139.aspx

This is the same label that has the Charlie Haden Private Collection and some other things. They seem to be doing it right -- offering the CD, or MP3 or Wave or FLAC files (all formats with digital art) at different price points. I would definitely like more labels to move in this direction, which gives me an extra incentive to download from them.

I like to display my music in cases in my living room, so I opt for the CDs, but it's good that different formats are available for people who have different preferences.

I've only heard pieces of one Empirical album, but it rocks! I'm looking forward to the new release.

Quite a bit of good jazz on Naim Audio. Charlie Haden, Chris Anderson, Ted Sirota's Rebel Souls. Usually very well recorded too - as you would expect from these guys.

this thread makes me think of "the old in-out"

not sure that's a good thing or an appropriate remark...
