The heart of this discography lies in the 90s, where James crafted some of the most sophisticated pop music of the era. The re-recorded version of "Sit Down" became an anthem for a generation, but the surrounding albums—Seven (1992) and the Brian Eno-produced Laid (1993)—are masterclasses in atmospheric rock.
Eno’s production on Laid and its experimental sister album Wah Wah (1994) is particularly susceptible to "smearing" in MP3s. Hearing these tracks in 44.1kHz FLAC restores the shimmering high-end and the deep, dub-influenced basslines. By the time the band reached Whiplash (1997) and the sprawling double album The Millionaires (1999), their sound had become polished and grandiose. Booth’s lyrics—neurotic, romantic, and searching—are delivered with such clarity in this format that you can hear every breath and quiver.
