Everyone out, next door at work, so the volume dials up a notch or two.

This style of music is not normally my cup of tea, but I love this album.

The bass coming out of my EB1's is phenomenal, can't imagine what a big pair of floorstanders would sound like.

'Til now, I've been listening to this album via Spotify. Today the CD arrived, blimey the difference in sound quality is startling - and the CD's low-end bass during Limit To Your Love is shaking the whole house, never mind the floor.

In comparison, the version on Spotify sounds like a 10kbps MP3, while the CD, IMHO, is benchmark for heeeooge soundstage, spooky 3-D imaging and separation, and lung-vibrating bass.

If he plays a main-stage slot at one of the summer festivals, with a typical battery-of-subs-type PA setup, his set's low-end bass will cause an earthquake.

As much as I like Spotify - I'm a recent Premium convert - I'm a wee bit disappointed by its SQ
