"[Producer Tony Doogan] suggested that we record as a live band, which we hadn’t done for years. Having played a few tunes on the last tour, we were ready for that. Tony wanted to capture that energy you can only get with everyone facing each other… It makes a big difference." - Vincent Cavanagh, Anathema British alt-rockers Anathema return with their progressive, dreamy post-rock sound on The Optimist, an eleven track effort that continues the group’s two decade-long musical evolution. Their mastery at crafting powerful songs is palpable on tracks like lead-single Springfield which erupts out of minimalistic drums, ethereal vocals and contemplative piano.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
