Consistency is the key just a bit every day.
Like water beating against rock.

Well, whether it's higher sample rate or 24-bit - it's all overrated audiovoodoo. 16-bit was also chosen for a reason. Higher bit depth provides no benefit to the listener of the final mix. 44/16 is all you ever need and those Qobuz et al are just snake-oil salesmen
I'm not a physical media collector, so I had exactly zero interest in this boxset. I do collect JMJ's music, I just don't care about the form that much (TBH at the end of the day I prefer to have it all digitally on one disk so it's at my fingertips whenever I desire). I do buy JMJ boxsets if they provide anything of value - this one doesn't. I skipped EōN because of its ridiculous price (and *technically* I skipped Electronica 1 deluxe boxset, but JMJ gave one to me so I bought E2 to complete it)
24 bits technically lower the noisefloor, but then again, the digital noise in 16 bit is inaudible.
I am a physical albums collector, not only JMJ. However I do copy the CDs to the computer afterwards and some to cassettes. But Eon and Ele were overpriced.

Exhibition - SALGADO AMAZÔNIA @ Philharmonie de Paris - Wednesday, 7 April 2021 to Sunday, 22 August 2021
For seven years, Sebastião Salgado immersed himself in far corners of the Brazilian Amazon, photographing the forest, rivers and mountains, and the people who live there. On his journeys deep into this realm—where the immense power of nature can be felt as in few places on earth—his photographer’s eye captured striking images, most being shown here to the public for the first time.
Accompanied by an original soundtrack—a ‘symphony-world’ created by Jean-Michel Jarre using concrete sounds from the forest—the exhibition also gives voice to the indigenous communities photographed, via their testimonies.

Really not a fan of the really loud bass in the binaural version, it doesn't even sound like it's supposed to be part of the song. It's just a really loud buzz.
