Madeline Peyroux/dreamland


I just received the Madeline Peyroux CD "Dreamland" and cannot believe what a hack job was done recording her voice. This is a 1996 release and she clips and distorts on every track. Thats just ridiculous for a modern release and HDCD no less.

I have Dreamland and her new one, as well. Rummy, we must be listening to different cds. Her first one was a very good recording. Not pristine, but quite good. Intimate and pretty natural. Careless Love, (the performance/voice) is fabulous, but the recording is compressed and lower in quality to Dreamland. Maybe your Dreamland was a funky one. hey, whatever floats your boat. I would love to hear Careless Love rerecorded and opened up a bit, sound wise...peace, warren
Rummy, give us the scoop on your system. See what a simple little post about a simple little cd can do? Might cost you thousands to hear Dreamland the way we all hear it. Then again, might be a very inexpensive thing. Got to be careful on the 'gon. Any post can cost us. It's the nature of this audiophoolish hobby. I've been there, done that myself. peace, warren
Nah, it's not your stereo, it's probably the miking on that particular song that you don't like. Miking? Female voice? Not done well, as a rule. I love the album, but that's one song I'd can, if I were the producer.
