The Most Digital Recording You Ever Heard


You can generally tell them by weight. In the early days of the CD when they really had no idea of how to put music on a disk they also used to put a lot of plastic in the jewel cases. Sometimes I pick a CD I haven't listened to for a while, get a feel of it and think, "Oh, one of these." Any initial release year starting with "198" will give you a certain sense of trepidation. The question I put before the house is, what was the digital recording that your view epitomized everything that was wrong with digital. Some that come off the top of my head:

Any Proper box set.
Any Collector's Choice reissue.
The original issue of These Foolish Things by Bryan Ferry.

The Angel Broadway Classics series was particularly frustrating because on the one hand you finally escape from fake stereo but on the other the mastering was pretty sketchy.

You guys and your pissing matches of digital verses vinyl. I listen to mostly vinyl but I have heard good digital also.

If what you have is pleasing to you then why do you get in pissing matches about this. The bottom line is that you like what you have and the rest doesn't matter.

Good god people get a life and enjoy your music in whatever format you enjoy.
