| Digital remixes of 9 year old CDs Finding this just a little strange. Four Tet's curation of Late Night Tales was one of the better editions in that series, back in the day. But does it really justify a digital remaster/reissue just 9 years later? Surely just a professional quality rip to 320kb or 192kb vbr is all that's needed. Or is this a retromania, hauntology and cynical attempt to capitalise on people spending money on buying all the same music again in yet another format. Or to capitalise on Four Tet's current rising stock and brand in the music scene. What are we to make of a curated mix set in these days of people buying single tracks instead of whole albums? Or avoiding buying music directly by streaming it from Spotify or Youtube. And £8.99-> £14.99!!! really? I only discovered this because it turned up on one of the russian file-locker monitoring blogs. Free beats 15 quid, any day. But then Amazon is charging 11.50 for the CD and 5.50 for the MP3s. Truly, music pricing makes little or no sense these days. http://www.discogs.com/mp3/Four-Tet-Various-Late-Night-Tales-Four-Tet-Remastered/1915601   Four Tet, Various - Late Night Tales: Four Tet (Remastered), download MP3 and WAV at Discogs »Minimal/Tech House 84119; Funky/Club House 68732; Progressive House 57988; Electro House 46248; Techno 32380.
