Any ECM fans here?

I love the ECM sound. Not very familiar with their classical, but I have many of their jazz albums. Lots of Pat Metheny starting in the 70’s.
And I loved when Pat said, please don’t play my albums on smooth jazz radio.

I’ve always preferred the sound of their LP’s over CD. Every recording I own has outstanding SQ.

Thanks for the Jazz Times link. These were great years for Pat Metheny music.
I'm listening to the remasters and guess what... compression. To my ears they were trying to remove the tape hiss and went too heavy.
According to the article, they used 1/2" analogue masters as sources which must have  sounded so good.
