Gotye - Making Mirrors (2011) [FLAC] politux

Stepping out from behind the piano/drums of Melbourne indie pop three-piece the Basics for the third time, Belgian-Australian multi-instrumentalist Wally De Backer, aka Gotyes first solo record in five years, Making Mirrors, reveals a love of the 80s pop scene, which extends far beyond the usual influences of the current nu-synth brigade. Familiar they may be, but some credit has to go to De Backer for managing to weave these eclectic retro sounds into a cohesive affair, which proves that along with recent efforts by Art vs. Science and Architecture in Helsinki, Australia is fast becoming one of the biggest purveyors of quality experimental pop.

It's flac? I don't think so

 politux (2012-01-26)

Yes it is flac. CD-ripped. Not transcoded. Here is proof.

your ripper is crap then, listen to through a decent system

 politux (2012-02-14)

Isn't it interesting that the haters have never uploaded a single torrent.

Thank you!

Thanks politux, excellent torrent and FLAC quality.
It is FLAC; the 22khz waveforms are all there, you can see by the picture.
The confusion might come from the fact that Gotye isn't as punchy as most modern pop artists. Probably doesn't sound as defined on $20 logitech satellites.
And dafuq is the hate with his ripper. That wouldn't even be it. It goes from CD(digital) to hardrive(also digital). Now unless his ripper was so bad that it missed bits during the rip, there is no problem. Definitely doesn't sound like any missed bits.

Discog in FLAC is up

Playd0h (2012-11-09)

The file sizes on this one
are a lot larger then those on this torrent. Not sure why, and not to piss on the uploader. Thanks regardless.

I would like to point that the torrent that Playd0h mentioned is a FLAC rip without compression (!!!), and hence the file size.
It plays with the CD bitrate (it shouldn't) and if one decompresses any of these FLAC tracks (from politux) to WAVE, we end up with the same file size as the one mentioned by Playd0h.
So, thank you (politux) for your upload.
For those who that this isn't a great sounding album, I may suggest that you do a little research on it, and you'll find out that most of these songs are made from low-bitrate samples that Gotye himself collected over the years (that's his own concept of putting a song together). ;-)
Cheers
