Begs for ONE MORE though, doesn't it? ;)
99 is the maximum nuber of tracks according to the red book standard.

I ordered it at Plato and it only took a few days. But be quick; I think the release is getting rare.

If you for some reason can't or don't want to buy but still listen to it the whole thing is on YouTube. :wink:

This disc seems to contain a mastering designed for radio broadcasting.

There is a cut at 15 khz (like with an mp3 @96 kbps), ie Hexagone 14 :

Someone suggests this mastering could come from Netia software used by Franceinfo FM radio to broadcast in "mp2 @256 kbps". :idea: (http://forums.lenodal.com/viewtopic.php ... 04#p504504)

Yes. (It may sound strange for a "CD-DA" but I think it was done intentionally.... I have none of the previous "Radiophonie" to compare. :| )

That's quite a shame that the whole thing is of lower quality. Might be worth a shot to send an email to see if it was deliberate or that something went wrong.

I understand from this discussion that apparently even despite 99 tracks the CD does not include everything? There are supposedly "more orchestral" versions used by franceinfo?

I read somewhere that Hexagone was composed in 10 days, and JMJ provided about 230 tracks to "franceinfo:". (Due to Red Book limitation we can have 99 tracks on a CD-DA.)

It seems that some are a little bit more orchestral and not on the CD.

They should've released it as a digital download and that would solve that problem...

Could've also just make it a three disc edition. Would've been pretty cool having all the tracks instead of this. But still.
