Similarly, track nine, “Cloud of Unknowing” (ft. Bobby Womack). Womack’s weathered vocals, recorded shortly before his health declined, rely on harmonic richness. In FLAC, the micro-details of his throat and the decaying piano reverb create a 3D holographic image. The HMV pressing seems to have a slightly lower noise floor than the US Atlantic pressing, making Womack’s voice hover in a "black" silence between notes.
If buying from HMV, confirm whether the release is a direct rip from the original master or a re-encode; packaging and metadata often indicate source quality. For collectors, bundled booklets, liner notes, or exclusive artwork can add value. Gorillaz - Plastic Beach 2010 -FLAC- HMV
