@Jochim that’s true, I hadn’t noticed the download finished but it has. I’ll put it on my iPod for listening tomorrow
Mirrorthrone - Une existence dont plus personne ne jouit
why the fuck do artists do these shitty compressed-to-eleven brickwall mixes. This album has almost everything I like in music but listening to mixes with this much volume compression gives me headaches lately. Seriously if you look at the wave form of his albums zoomed out in Audacity it’s a complete brick wall with the exceptions of the beginning and ending of each song; no dynamic range whatsoever. Which is stupid because as much as he’s obviously studied classical composition he should realise how much effect dynamics have on a song.

one advantage of clipped mixes over mixes that are brickwalled with other forms of volume compression is that you can use Audacity's Clip Fix to make them sound credibly less compressed. Mixes that are just brickwalled don't recover much dynamic range from Clip Fix (although typically they still recover a little), but clipped mixes recover considerably more.
Which I need to do with this EP now. It's still awesome. I need to pay this guy to contribute to him getting a better mix for the album.

I need to get the original pressing someday, the remastered Godbluff is godawful. (dont complain that much about clipping in general but it's bothering the fuck out me here)

if you want I can attempt to use Audacity's Clip Fix and see if it sounds better
Fauna - Feathainne
new song/album, pretty impressed. I'm not sure if the spelling discrepancy from their neofolk project is correct though; the neofolk project is Fearthainne.

I know someone who confirmed the original sounds better. I'm not a fan of remasters anyhow. Maybe I've heard too many fucked up remasters, but I havent heard many which were an actual improvement.

There are some good remasters. Both sets of Yes remasters I've heard (the mid-'90s and the 2003 ones) were good, as were the Genesis "Definitive Edition Remasters" (the more recent Genesis remasters were shit though).
Skagos - ...With a Warm Recollection
finally got a copy of the CD audio so I'm listening to it, though what I really want to hear is the forthcoming vinyl. also finish An-archic gods damn it
