Artificial? I think not.

People love music. People love music so much they'll buy their favorite music even if it's recorded by a pack of drunken monkeys. When you buy a CD you are supporting the musicians which is a good thing. But you are also supporting the recording crew - and when the recording is terrible, you've just voted for something terrible with your wallet.

I think this is why despite the availability of really great recording technology we continue to get so many "less than great" recordings. This "I love music, so recording quality is secondary to me and I can't control it anyways." just seems to be a blatent contradiction in terms. It seems the issue here is whether or not there is something we CAN do about it.

I've never returned an album on the grounds the recording sucked.

Maybe I am part of the problem too! Maybe it's time to start...

I guess until then we can continue to blame perfectly good *formats* for the crappy sounding recordings we're getting.

Cheers,
Presto
