Note to audiophiles: The digital downloads for sale on this website are excellent-quality mp3s at 256 kbps or higher (variable rate), a good compromise between sound quality and how much space they take up on your computer. That is higher quality than the 128 kbps previews you hear here. But if you would rather download WAV files (full CD quality, with files about 5 times larger), please let me know. I have some of these albums for sale on my bandcamp page at WAV quality and can add more there, or here, if there is demand.
