It's from the PLAYLIST column, an interview with Jason Pierce of Spiritualized (which I don't know):
"
Q. You also chose Royal Trux's album "Accelerator," and it is a really forceful live band. Is that part of what you like about it?
A. I think live music is just a totally different thing, but "Accelerator," more than most records, translates that. And it sounds modern. It sounds like it's properly digitized, and the silences are very silent and the volume is squashed and lifted in a properly digital way, but it's ferocious.
"
Despite the "but" near the end, he seems to be talking about dynamic compression, etc., as though it was a good thing. Not sure what to make of this.
