Probably best known as the on-off guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Frusciante's solo work is both plentiful and covers a huge variety of genres, including experimental and acid house. A superlative track that sounds extra special in lossless quality. But when Karen O's vocal finally rises from the raucous guitar and drums with "Wait! They don't love you like I love you.", it feels as if she's only just understood the depths of her emotion – and why she needs to say these words, even though they should have come earlier. Some love-song lyrics are implored, the stanzas pored over then belted to the heavens after countless bedroom rehearsals and refinements.

This New York trio (sometimes quartet) typically delivers an indie rock masterclass whether gracing a stage or a recording studio, and this emphatic declaration is no exception. This one, from German duo Sebastian Welicki and Niklas Freund (aka Trashlagoon) actually has a mid-tempo time signature, but it is layered with juicy chords, calm key progressions, reverb, sonic articles reminiscent of late-night crickets that meander slowly between your ears, a breathy treble vocal and a celebrated lo-fi background hiss. All of which is a roundabout way of saying "it's important to have a lossless go-to chill track for the end of a hard day". Listening to slow-tempo music helps release the neurotransmitter largely responsible for mood (Serotonin, aka the 'happy hormone') while increasing the one (Dopamine) that helps us feel pleasure and simultaneously reducing the stress hormone (Cortisol). The extra space and insight you get from the lossless delivery are truly laid bare here. Later, a crescendo builds, but never at the expense of the detail and texture within her inimitable power-house vocal.

Here, Mark Ronson lets Gaga's vocal cords do the heavy lifting, accompanied by a pared-back piano and guitar – sometimes strummed, sometimes used as percussion. Such is Gaga's attention to detail concerning every aspect of her art that, occasionally, those production-heavy music videos, outfits and interviews have obscured the fact that first and foremost, this is an incredibly talented stand-and-deliver singer. It takes a special musical composition – and special treatment of it – to recreate that feeling sonically. McCarthy is not afraid to glimpse into the abyss and record his predictions.
#Acid music studio 10 ead movie
If you've never read Cormac McCarthy's terrifying 2006 post-apocalyptic novel The Road, made into a movie in 2009 (for which this Nick Cave & Warren Ellis track was created), put this on, close your eyes, and imagine walking down a long, grey, desolate road, clouds of ash swirling behind you, ready to run if you must. Percussion instruments snap, crackle and jingle around you as the leading edges of notes burst in like sharp, angular sonic towers in the otherwise juicy, undulating soundscape. In lossless quality, this Les Gordon track is a rare treat. Get this eye-opening vocal electronica going through Apple's What Hi-Fi? Award-winning, ground-breaking wireless over-ears and wait for the 'ah's to come at your ears from all directions in a remarkably immersive mix. So, let's get to it! Les Gordon – Flirting with JuneĪs the kind reader who suggested this track ventures, perhaps we should curate a playlist specifically intended for the AirPods Max. That said, if you find yourself listening to a 'Hi-Res Lossless' file with simply a wired-headphones-and-device setup (look for the little icons under the track in the app), rest assured that you will hear it in lossless quality. Partly because of this, we are concentrating on Apple Music's 'Lossless' files for our recommendations here.
