[...] Most of the CDs available at present suffer from being low-level, undynamic, contain several little errors, and have pretty poor interpretations of the original artwork. They all date from the early days of CD mastering, and suffer badly for it when compared sonically with contemporary releases. I'm not criticising the musical content, of course, just the technical aspects.
Anyone else feel the same?
Agreed! ;-) A better example of what is worse - the "Computer World" 'golden cloud' CD release: unhappy edited sleeve-"amateur-design", "8-bit-dynamic"-like that sounds very "amateur-mastering" ... True anecdote: the start-index of "Pocket calculator" is even placed... a few milliseconds (around 15 ms or more!) BEFORE the end of the "Computer World" track! ;-/ a shame!! Yes, I'm waiting for remastered editions (like the "Tour de France" in 1999...) (from "Autobahn" to "Electric Café", at least) and of course I'm still waiting for the ...NEW album! :-)) Maybe, perhaps, _ /o o\ Filtre4Pole \ ~ / I I - -
