Compressed music has little depth because all of the musical components/instruments are made the same loudness or lined up in one plain across stereo image. I guess it doesn't matter much if your listing to a heavy metal quartet but for larger groups and more complex music (which has pretty much disappeared anyway) it's nice to hear that "triangle", tympani or other subtle percussive effect coming from the back of the orchestra like it's suppose to. Maybe music started to changed with the "Wall Of Sound" concept from Phil Spector :-)

With compressed music there is the false sense that there is more detail because these previously mentioned subtle distant sounds are made louder but what has been lost is the depth and authentic of the music.
