As for the DR masters. They are not Lokks'. They were released by an old member of this scene. This is just his little way of saying that some newly liberated rarities are available in the most discrete way possible... and hopefully spur discussion as to their quality. From my understanding these are not masters as released... rather alternate mixes. But then I haven't heard them yet.
Lastly... the best way to preserve our "free" hub (however indisputably noble our efforts may be) is to keep it OUT of the spotlight. You and I may not see piracy, but the labels see piracy differently (and I would argue incorrectly and unsustainably). Artists can't even post alternate mixes on their own Youtube pages! You think they'll back up your right to archive?!?
So to recap. Free isn't always free. In fact, such as cases like the purchase and liberation of the E. Power Biggs SACD or the recent Bernstein's Mass compilation, it can be downright expensive. Anyways...

I've been here for a minute and although I don't want to lose our friendship, however I must point out some things.. I'm just going to risk our friendship.First of all, The thread -- the hub -- the concept -- is an alternative for sharing free surround formats besides other available internet methods. In this sense, it's not piracy. Guys just sharing what they love. Go out and buy the original. Period. We're a small number of users who wish to sample surround sound legally that isn't otherwise available.But what the hell are you doing?You've added this extra cost to opt in. What the hell?Also, you act like your copy of a copy is superior to studio masters. What the hell? So I sampled your genius and now I'll buy the studio copy. Wow! They suck?This was not the goals of this group ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.We share inferior copies of surround sound mixes to inspire other members to buy the original. Period. That's cool. You like it. You buy it. And I think that's legal. And hopefully the studio will give us more music in this format.We were never a pirate organization. You've somehow misunderstood this. Please cease and desist. Your desire to make money off this is wrong. Who are you anyway? What the hell is wrong with you?Despite your critical listening ears, our hub could be so much more! Didn't you learn anything from our founders? Shame on you lokks. I risk our friendship, but someone here needs to tell you straight. What the hell is going on? Are you trying to kill us all?

I got the impression (before I'd heard you refer to them as such) that they were just R2R...is there something I missed in there? The file sizes are quite small for an SACD. Just an observation--haven't heard them...the file sizes threw me so I never bothered to listen. I figured they were on the order of something else I have from another band that was reel to reel but clearly a consumer deck and presumably a consumer edition (?)...sounds great and worn. Are these like that?--
