Brilliant music - Bone-head mastering job June 2, 2007
Written by caruso
This is such a welcome addition to the Fripp & Eno discography. I was immediately driven to download it when I realized it was out. The music is superb. Sublime. My gripe is with the mastering. Most tracks cut off before they are actually finished, only to continue when the next track begins. This could have been easily addressed at the mastering stage very easily with proper planning (cross fades, etc). When I have the time I will remaster these files myself they way they should have been mastered in the first place, with proper stops and starts for my own sanity.
If one wishes to charge full price for downloads to have all of the revenue go directly to the artist and bypass the middleman for downloading (ie: iTunes, etc.) I AM ALL FOR THAT IN THIS CORRUPT CORPORATE GLOBAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL OF A WORLD) but a least give the consumer his or hers money’s worth! And don’t short change the independent musician (like me) either.
Fire the mastering engineer for f@#ks sake! If you guys want a real mastering engineer, please contact me.
DEAR CARUSO, This Cd was mastered as a continuous piece of music, and therefore crossfades were made between each track to achieve this. The abrupt ends, and then continuation, will, and should only happen with the mp3s. If you have downloaded the higher quality flac, this should not happen. Please let me know which you downloaded, and I will look into it. Sincerely The bone-head Mastering engineer (stormy)

I love it all, except for The Idea of Decline, which sounds too much like Ali Click from Nerve Net. And the high frequency beeping/whistling gave me a headache. Can we get a version without all Read more

I simply didn’t understand it....... before touched it’s sound using Soundforge and Goldwaves and VST , DirectX plugins. And software sine oscillators. Suddenly it started working for me. Then it was a good idea to sample, loop and sequence some moments Read more

Caruso's problem Sun., Oct 7, 2007

Caruso,
Looking at the files through Audacity and listening to them with foobar2000, I cannot perceive any breaks in the ends or beginnings of the files visually or aurally. However, when listening to them with Media Player Read more
