Lossless Mychael Danna – Shattered Glass

My own Lossless CD rip

Canadian composer and occasional new age songsmith Mychael Danna has a way with constructive minimalism. His score for Shattered Glass, director Billy Ray’s debut about the downfall of New Republic magazine journalist Stephen Glass, is an elegant triumph that resonates with a subtle blend of melancholy and whimsy. Danna deftly blends the electronic and the organic with a cool grace reminiscent of American Beauty composer Thomas Newman. For the rolling "TNR" — the thread that binds the piece — he employs a melodic string motif over a sparse stream of electronica that sounds like arranger Robert Kirby’s work with ’60s folk legend Nick Drake. The record is bookended by a lush theme that is just complex enough to illuminate the sweet simplicity of the pieces in between, resulting in a unique and balanced work that manages to enlighten despite its swift 23-minute playing time.

MY SINCERE THANKS GO TO BOTH OF YOU GUYS

Thank you so much! 🙂

Thank you share!

Thanks!

Thanks! The link to the artwork needs a "decryption key"…

Thanks

Thank you very much.
I downloaded the CD without problems, but the link to the scan request a "descryption key".
Kurtsucre has the same problem.
Does anyone have the key?

This is the correct link for the artwork:

I just recently discovered his music, and it has been great to find his scores. I still think ‘Transcendence’ is the best score so far this year…Thanks!

Thank you Petros.
I have downloaded the file without problems.

This doesn’t appear to be lossless – I only see m4a’s. Can somebody clarify?

You are right: It’s lossy (m4a).

Shame, I would love it in lossless if OP can provide?

Shame?
I am satisfied with m4a.
And you should be too!

Now, out of sheer useless curiosity. If the op has the physical cd and ripped it lossless, would that not then BE lossless? Or, is it one of those cd-r things and lossy, or are the rip settings incorrect on his end. Just…curious. Because if I rip a cd with it set to, say, wav, I go about assuming that it is lossless….

It’s m4a, but in 500-620 kbps.

Sorry folks, I only just read all these posts. I ripped the CD into itunes using the Lossless setting, so I assumed that gave a lossless copy? Excuse my ignorance if this is not the case. The Cd is not a cdr but the original Soundtrack release. 🙂

Apple Store:

It’s best to import all your songs using the apple lossless encoder. This still compresses the files by about 1/3 but there is no loss of audio quality at all. With AAC and MP3 files, not matter how high you set the quality, there is ALWAYS some loss of quality. Apple Lossless audio is exactly the same quality as what’s on your CD.

thanks

Thank you very much! 🙂
