It's great that Katsumi Horii Project's classic albums are getting reissued, but those interested should know that the reissues (CDs, at least) have pretty bad audio clipping. The Loudness War never ended

To my own surprise, I would really rather like this album. But I seriously wonder, what the sound engineer in charge does for a living! 🤬 dr.loudness-war.info?artist=&albu... #rollingstones #hackneydiamonds #loudnesswar

Alte Jazzplatten sind mitunter schwierig nebenher zu hören, weil die einen so großen Dynamikunfang haben, dass man ständig dabei ist, lauter und leiser zu drehen. Kommen noch aus einer Zeit, wo nicht kaputtgemastert und ohne automagische Plugins gemastert wurde. #loudnesswar

for 25 years mastering engineers crushed every song flatter and louder to win the loudness war. then streaming quietly turned all of it down to the same volume and made the whole thing pointless. all that for nothing. #Music #LoudnessWar

I’m so conflicted.
#U2 have been so #uncool for a long time.

But now and again they’ve done something that’s become a guilty secret, even if it’s been #loudnesswar mayhem (don’t mention #vertigo).

And on top of that they now actually say something…. But…. But…. But…

The scansion is appalling! 😬😬
Here's a brief snippet of the new U2 single slamming. I.C.E and the Trump administration.

Hele, asi je to nemoc, ale mně ty ořezaný produkty #loudnesswar vadí a takhle zprzněnou #music si neumím pořádně užít, poněvadž mi v tom […]

In the tradition of album-art depictions for fun, some assorted #ClassicAlternative and also Classic Mainstream upgrades [to CD] obtained lately. Some (Once Upon a Time, Songs from the Big Chair, So, True Blue) I already had on CD but they were defective or remasters w/the #LoudnessWar

I cannot wait until we stop doing this to music recordings. Everyone loses in the loudness war.

Adore the pre-loudnesswar fuzzy tones of the original ep’s, but the first version of the remaster sounds SO massive and fat in bass and drums, that’s got to be the favorite version.
