Negative Positive
Title: Artistically: excellent, Technically: horrendous
Review: The CD liner contains the following notice: "This disc contains music of extraordinarily wide dynamic range, encompassing long passages at the threshold of audibility that build to levels of extreme intensity." This caution must have been intended to address the pitiful engineering of this CD. The actual dynamic range of the entire CD is remarkably narrow. Track 5 for example is almost completely inaudible, even at maximum volume. (My personally "remastered" version of track 5 sounds fine - after 980% amplification).
Is the review positive or negative?
