Gotta say I'm a little confused. (Destiny)

My experience is different and it may be related to the playback devices or the fact I am comparing older mp3 vs. CD listening. Don't have a preference for a particular style in music; I'll listen to anything out there as long as I like it. The only time I look for lossless music is for classical music which seems to have a much greater dynamic range than anything else. An example would be Zimmer's Dark Knight Rises, O'Donnell's ODST original score or Holts Mars. I have great sound systems in my truck as well as in the office. Plugging an iPod and listening to MP3 vs. inserting a CD is a totally different experience for classical/orchestral music, mostly with parts that include percussion or low bass tones.
The mastering of the music is also a factor in the output. I have no idea how that is done for iTunes or Amazon, seen titles with "Remastered or mastered for..." which I assume would be higher quality files?

That said, and MP3 quality debate aside, there is still no option at all to hear Music of the Spheres anywhere other than excerpts.
I don't know the reasons and will not speculate, but it's a shame regardless.

Obviously a big fan of Marty, his work not only introduced me to video games but also to classical music. Makes me sad to see no answers from Bungie on the release of MotS. Not blaming anyone, just dumbfounded. MotS is a huge chunk of beautiful work, would love to hear it someday.
Would buy in a heartbeat, even as MP3.
