And daily greet the Vinylrip Beast and the loudness Monster

It would have been almost too good to be true when the Icehouse fan finally all that would get fantastic maxis and remixes by Iva Davies and his men in decent sound quality now. The Icehouse albums were re-released on CD several times in the past 20 years. Always, however, were missing there as bonus tracks, except for a few exceptions, the Maxis. Now's as good as anything out of the 12-inch wheels, which is good and expensive, on this double-CD and on the corresponding volume 2. But the joy was short-lived, because once again, the buyer gets his money many crackling and rumbling Vinyl overdubs on CD. Ironically, the most hotly awaited versions have in this respect the worst quality: the Dance Mix of "Cross The Border" and published only in Germany 12 Inch Mix (6:42) of "Electric Blue", to name just two examples , Who verbricht something only ever? People the whole total passes the ass? Taube? Or are they just amateurs who are left there to work? Who always there to mischief drives the plate dubbing - it is for music lovers who only want, just that the music sounds good on their CDs and has no disturbing noise, incomprehensible! It's really slow to despair, what has become of the profession of the digital mastering. Completely stupid it is in the present case that the almost nine-minute US Club Mix of "No Promises" and the Extended Mix (7:34) of "Electric Blue" here as a crack forming in front of him Vinylrips offered. The former is available in knotless master tape quality to more ubiquitous CDs, z. B. in the famous Icehouse-Best-of "Great Southern Land" from 1989, while the latter in also outstanding Master Qualifiers on the re-release of the "Man Of Colours" album is. I do not want to leave me at this point only continue on the totkomprimierte (no longer existing) dynamics, which thus brought about extreme loudness and the inevitably associated the CDs inedible. Only this: Here, a digital when it comes to mastering most incompetent person must have been at work. Or was it even one that has no ears?

Fortunately, I had the opportunity, "The 12 Inches" to hear before buying. So I was able to cancel the order after all, still. Such a sound technical junk I do not need. I will now continue to listen to my vinyl records. While the crackle a bit, but since I'm expecting it, unlike a CD no different. And the old plates have at least one high dynamics. Whether Iva Davies actually know what is being driven with his work?
