Today people get recording contracts based on how photogenic they
are. Machines sing them into tune. AND THEN
Most commercial recordings today are released in a form which is
far less than "16-bit" in quality - they have been deliberately
compressed during the mastering process to sound "louder".
They've been quashed, pummeled, clipped, gain-ridden, smelched,
and squeezed down into a tiny dynamic range.
And they wonder why we don't buy records!
I thought it may be interesting to suggest some pre-digital era albums that
were of better source quality than much of what gets put into 1's and 0's
these days.
How about, "Year of the Cat", by Al Stewart?
I see you, and raise you: John McLaughlin/One Truth Band's "Electric
Dreams", @1979. (Completely analog, so far as I can tell.)
