A confused stile, and a disturbed method, is fittest to discourse of our miserie.

OY VEY! A MORTAL SIN!
Such wonderful music and and it's all washed out via the lossy compression!
I can't bear to listen to it like this! Play it off a CD or a flac, but noooooooo lossy compression!
Just point people to the Amazon page for Nancarrow and tell them no record collection is complete without it!
BTW, the correct pronunciation of his last name is Nan-crow, not Nan-ca-row.

Well, I'm an analog purist, so it all sounds like hell to me.
That said, I admire your passion!
I love his music, it's so wonderfully fantastic and original.
I've only listened hard to the few that were on that old New Worlds Records LP from the 70s.
I seem to recall that some of the "scores" have been digitalized so they could be played live on a Yamaha piano. If they released all of them that way I'd buy one of those thingies, whatever they're called.

1750 Arch, I believe.

I saw a mechanically played version of some of the pieces in the early 1990s, at a church in San Francisco. Much warmer sound than the player pianos, obviously.
Well, this is totally new to me. A bit frenetic. The 2nd piece sounds like a battle between upper and lower registers. Couldn't tell you who won. Next one, @ 4:23 is a lot more musical - a more digestible interplay between the voices. Ahh - suddenly introspective and blusey @ 7:10. Love the counterpoint.
The whole analog vs digital nuance is lost on me. Lo siento.
But what the hey - I'm just a trombone player.

It may be an age thing. When CDs first came out, I found them unlistenably harsh and cold. Now that I'm older, I simply don't really hear a lot of the higher frequencies, I think...although vinyl through a good system still sounds better than most CDs. (And don't get me started on 78s!)
That said, I sold most of my 6K or so records over the last decade, so I obviously don't care that much....
