The compositions are monumental, varied and interesting to listen to. From the recording technique produces the recordings are very professionally. So why so much star deduction? Quite simply: Here too, the sound was in the studio again sacrificed in favor of loudness. I just do not understand. Keeps us the music industry for stupid if she wants to attract us with such cheap tricks over the counter? If I want it loud, then I turn up the knob. The Loudness, and thus the dynamics and musical enjoyment to prune only to sound louder at the same volume setting than the other CD is nonsense. With a dynamic range of DR 06 this is well above the limit of decency good addition. See my evaluation of the album in the comments section. Incidentally, there are all three works, Skyworld, Archangel, as just this present here also work on the same level grottigen. But not only that, it's a lot worse than it looks at first. Not only that almost no momentum is present, but the peaks were still pulled up to asoluten maximum of 0dB. This is reflected heavily on the sound quality down, as the album is, with its high degree of compression not only free from fine dynamics, details and any nuance. Nor is there suspense or internal logics of volume changes in the songs. In a sample editor, the songs look like massive blocks. Due to the rectangular appearance then one speaks of "brick-walled music". Since almost pushes each peak to the volume limit, it also leads to unmistakable distortions and clippings. Ups appear as noise, voices sound like a grater. The sound seems overwhelmed and hard.
Love Label: The boundaries of musical decency are hereby exceeded. Let the music please finally air to breathe and hear at last on the loudness mischief.
I just consider myself to return this sound debacle. This sonic freeze belongs back in the recording studio's and not in the sale. Very unfortunate, because the music namely wirlich is good.
I also must Finally, issue a warning: Clipping can destroy boxes, because it can lead to overheating of the solenoids. Sine becomes a rectangle. The thereby resulting non-linear cone excursion is the cause of untimely demise of Speaker chassis. From the start of this noisy Mach work so is not recommended.
1 star is for me no more category of good or bad, but is a product which is suitable for the intended use, or only with severe restrictions.
