Aquanaut FREE downloads on Bandcamp

We have uploaded our material to a site called Bandcamp.
Its a good site, well laid out and offers downloads in almost every format including high quality MP3 and FLAC.
You can download our first EP, the Taste Maker Suite here for FREE-

If you wish to purchase the Psychonaut for $5 US you get a pretty good deal for two reasons,

1)its cheaper than iTunes and

2)it offers download of the tracks in just about any format you desire.

This means good news for those of you who appreciate good sound quality. For instance if you download in FLAC you get lossless quality, anotherwords CD quality. The files are much larger but well worth it if you have a decent sound system.

You can burn the FLAC files onto an audio CD and get exactly the same listening experience as a bought CD.
You can also get the same listening experience through your Ipod.

Here's how -
After you've burnt the FLAC files onto a CD go to your iTunes, select the Edit tab on the menu and go to preferences.
In the middle of the pop up locate where it says Import settings and click on it.
At the top where it says Import using: select Apple lossless encoder.
Now when you rip the CD it will rip it as a lossless file. You can then import the tracks onto your Ipod. Well worth a try, the difference may not be obvious initially but the psychological effect can be felt.

For those passionate about good sound this is a great thing to try. Also we recommend better headphones than the standard iPod earbuds.
Makes a big difference, even for MP3 listening, the iPod earbuds tend to have very little bass.
