There is nothing at all wrong sound wise with the original cd of 'Tiger lily' by Natalie Merchant it sounds superb. Mastered by Bob Ludwig. If one has to keep resorting to 'souped' up versions then there must be something amiss in the hi-fi chain.
Funnily enough I was listening to Paula Cole's 'this fire' cd and the tracks are well recorded, ie not complaints, except for track 4 'Carmen', mastered by Mr Ludwig, It is the weakest mastered track on the cd, especially if one compares it to track 5. 'Mississippi', Mr Ludwigs track whilst by means is it bad it seems he likes a duller sound as it sounds like someone has taken the fluff out of a male belly button and put it on a stylus, or should that be styli? as it is well duller, I prefer the snare 'snap' to have a real 'snap', seems like Mr Ludwig prefers the the snare drum sound to have a towel placed over it. Makes me wonder why Ms Cole chose the services of Mr Ludwig when the rest of the cd is excellent. I am a little grumpy today because I am having a girlie cd listening sesh and I can't find any of my Lisa Loeb cd's..............
Sorry this thread has nothing to do with Mofi (who ever they are?).Apology.
All IMHO, naturally.
Ps- I never really got into Rush, saw them way way 70's?, they were very good live, but boy where they LOUD!
I think my ears are still ringing, oh no that's from when The Who played at a Football (soccer to Americans, football to the rest of the world) ground in London in the 70's, now THAT was more than loud!
