What format are all those in bluenote, mp3s I take it?

yeah from a torrent with all that stuff. when i get into an artist with a large discography for some reason i can't just focus on 2-3 albums at the beginning, i have to dive in and sort it all out over the next couple of weeks/months. but that has been with jazz and improv artists so i figured with someone focused on vocals and a general minimalist style it would help to get some direction or else i might get too frustrated and give up within the first couple days. anyway from looking at some other sites as well as these recommendations i'm gonna start with Viva Last Blues, Days in the Wake, Master and Everyone, Joya and Superwolf and go from there. Sunrise really rekindled my desire to get into this guy and i have a feeling it will payoff sooner or later.

alright so a month later and i've really gotten into a lot of this stuff, so much so that i think he cracks into my second circle of favorite artists. here are my impresssions so far:

I See a Darkness - Every bit as good as its reputation, I can't even say anything more. 5 stars.
Master and Everyone - Less unique but pretty much just as good. I can't get enough of these songs. 5 stars.
The Letting Go - Just barely a step down from the other two for me, love the female vocals and overall atmosphere. 4.5 stars.
Ease Down the Road - This one's kinda funny as I don't think there's a single song that really ever goes beyond just being pretty good, but I find myself enjoying it a lot as a whole anyway. 4 stars.
Lie Down in the Light - To say I was surprised as the first song was playing is an understatment. The second half drops in quality a little bit but not enough to really affect the album dramatically. 4 stars.
Summer in the Southeast - Cool upbeat alternate performances, though the studios of all are still the best versions. 4 stars.
Lost Blues - My favorite of the Palace stuff, the singing is less annoying and actually pretty affecting during a lot of these songs, almost too much so with west palm beach and gulf shores back to back. 4 stars.
Days in the Wake - Half the time this succeeds in being exactly what it wants to be, he just doesn't have quite enough great songs to pull it off completely. 3.5 stars.
Viva Last Blues - Initial impression of this album was a lot stronger but it kind of tailed off a bit after repeated listenings. More Brother Rides is one of those songs I can listen to 20 times in a row. 3.5 stars.
Beware - Oldham goes 70s country, and its just as bland. Hope this is something he just had to get out of his system. Cool to see Michael Zerang on percussion though, interested in how that came about. 3 stars.
Superwolf - First song and last two are very good, and show what potential this had to be a standout album in his discography. Unfortunately the rest of the songs I found completely forgettable, I can't even remember how most of them go many listens later and the ones I do are because they seemed so annoying. 2 stars.
