The music itself could be awesome, groundbreaking, original,
emotionally gripping - until processing is applied.

So you've heard the tracks and agree with Mr. Sommerwerck ....?

Whoops, whoops, whoops. You're misreading. I was commenting solely on the
sound quality of Mr Alrich's recording, and nothing else.

Mr Alrich's earlier statements had suggested he made recordings with
natural-sounding acoustics. I do not hear these in this recording. I hear
multi-miked sound, with the performers sufficiently distanced that it doesn't
sound is the mics have been shoved down their throats. But there is no real
ambience.
