Remixes by producers like MK and Thievery Corporation rely heavily on sub-bass frequencies (40-80 Hz). Standard MP3 compression (even at 320kbps) uses psychoacoustic modeling to "trim" frequencies it thinks your ear won't notice. It often rolls off bass punch to save data. A file preserves the original 24-bit or 16-bit waveform. On a pair of Sennheiser HD 600s or Bowers & Wilkins speakers, the kick drum in the "Graceland" remix has weight and physical presence that an MP3 simply loses.

When Paul Simon released Graceland in August 1986, it was immediately recognized as a watershed moment in popular music history. The album, born out of a collaboration with South African musicians such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Ray Phiri, and Bakithi Kumalo, achieved a rare synthesis of Western pop sensibilities and mbaqanga/isicathamiya rhythms. It won the Grammy for Album of the Year, sold over 16 million copies, and inadvertently launched the "World Music" marketing category in the West.
