Jamiroquai’s music lives on the bassline. Stuart Zender’s iconic slap bass on “Emergency on Planet Earth” or Paul Turner’s synth-like grooves on “Rock Dust Light Star” contain sub-bass frequencies (below 60Hz) that MP3 encoding literally chops off to save space. FLAC preserves the entire frequency spectrum (up to 22.05kHz at CD quality, or higher for 24-bit). In a club rig, that means the kick drum punches your chest instead of just tickling your ears.
