Currently reading with a few CDs quietly in the background on the Pioneer CDR-609, checking them before passing them on to the local charity shop. What could possibly go wrong ?
Faith No More - Midlife Crisis, The Very Best Of (Rhino)
In spite of my concentration being elewhere I quickly became conscious that I couldn't determine much of what was going on in this. I know it's rock and it's a CD, but the LED meters for both channels have been sitting constantly at level "0" / "Over" for song after song, regardless of any variation in the music. Loudness and compression in full effect. It's really annoying me now, like fingernails on a blackboard. I think I should spare the charity shop from this, go route one and bin it.
Next up is The Smiths - Hatful Of Hollow. Thank The Lord.
