The character of analog and digital

The question is, and has been answered here and elsewhere ad nauseum, is what is being discussed a feature of the media or the many issues related to the recording and engineering of that recording.

Judging by many comparisons between vinyl and CD, I have little faith in the skills of the geeks with hats who have an ejucaton in marketing or advertising and who  pretend that they know some stuff about the fine art of producing quality music in the digital domain.

In the USA there still exists capital punishment. Doesn’t work.

To wit - grabbed a legitimate CD of Aqualung last week, and it is painful to listen to. Compared to the worn out vinyl I have from about 1971, the comparison is interesting.  Ian Anderson provides a short discussion, and his voice is just perfect.

So, this is not a fault of the hardware or the software, but that of the dolts who are pushing the buttons.

@holmz 

that is a cracker of an insult.

'can oath.

Whoever made that assertion to @brianaus  doesn't know that we share nothing in common except for a dissimilar concept of the English language. 

Americans generally have a very good opinion of Aussies and see them as different from us and certainly not trying to be like us.

This is correct and pleasant and is as it ought to be in western Judeo/Christian culture with shared geo-political alliances.

Then there are times when us Aussies think that Americans are really on another planet and perhaps nobody can quite phrase the feeling as concisely as the Aussie actor Hugh Jackman did here.

I've said it on these pages before that it is a beautiful thing that nobody (exception noted below) who is not Australian can ever come close to naturally speaking the homogenous Aussie accent with its many nuances.

Meryl Streep came very close in the movie Evil Angels.
