RE: Here's a reply from Robert Von Bahr of BIS...

Erm it's no secret that most labels do apply dynamic range compression. It became very fashionable in the last couple of decades. Why did they do it? Maybe to make it easier for radio handle with their dynamic range limitation, or maybe to make an easier licensing deal supplying musak for shopping malls. But this is not what the artist intended and is literally changing the music. It's like changing the artists original sheet music dynamics notations and making everything "pp".

Respect and praise for BIS for not doing this.
