Not all is gloom in the dynamic range midden. I've just been pulling
to pieces a bit of Led Zeppelin to compare a recent CD of LZ IV with
my original vinyl copy. I'm happy to be able to report that the new CD
has hugely *increased* dynamics over the vinyl, and there is no sign
of any mastering engineer making it loud.

It is so nice when the artists have the muscle to stay in charge.

to see what I found.


This probably was not a case of anyone "having muscle"
but simply a unanimous decision to master a dynamic, clean,
unclipped CD. It is easily done, and is indeed very good news.
