Post Subject: Mr eno has lost his hearingPosted by wjam on: 1/5/2011

I was so looking forward to David Byrne's LP, Everything that Happens will Happen Today... on vinyl too.. brilliant... I like David Byrne.. but horror of horrors it's all recorded at exactly the same level. There is close to zero dynamic I think. I have now quite a few examples of this effect

Mr Brian Eno produced it and seems very proud of the result.

I'd very much like to invite Mr Eno to hear his own "Another Green World" and then play the David Byrne LP and ask him whether he can hear any difference in recording quality. Whether or not you like either artists music you'd have to be totally deaf not to notice this, and sadly the David Byrne LP is close to un-listenable. Luckily I got to see him live in a good sounding venue... but that's hard to repeat in my living room.

Anyway, the point is.. How did Mr Eno and Mr Byrne miss this? I mean 1 might have gone deaf, but both at the same time?
