Ultra Prime Cuts
The more I listened to hi-res music with Amazon’s newly upgraded streaming service, Amazon Music HD, the more I could hear the voice of Michael Palin’s Cardinal Ximénez from the infamous Monty Python’s Flying Circus sketch about The Spanish Inquisition, albeit with one verbal twist: “Nobody expects Amazon Music HD!”
Until now, I have to admit I’d never really accessed the standard Amazon Music service with any regularity. I’m sure it comes as no surprise that, as much of physical product through Amazon. Many has been the time where midnight on a Friday rolls around with an email notifying me I can begin streaming (or downloading) whatever new album (or five) I’ve purchased in physical format via Amazon Prime. Rarely have I bothered following through—I mean, why bother, when I have numerous top-shelf hi-res music streaming services at my fingertips?—but it’s since become a whole new world.
