Ich habe heute mal das Protokoll des Wire-Interviews überflogen (http://www.thewire.co.uk/web/unpublished/scott_walker.html), da steht ein praktischer Ratschlag von Scott Walker selbst drin, wie man das Album hören sollte, nämlich LAUT, den Volume-Regler aufgedreht. Ich dachte, ich teile das mal mit. Hier ist die Begründung:
Scott WalkerWe’re a bit purist in the sense that we don’t use a lot of compression on our records, once again, it seems to cramp up the space and everything sounds very flat. There’s so much compression on everything today, just to make it loud. Everybody wants to be louder than everybody else. Then when they get it to the radio station, they add more compression on it, the disc jockeys, cos they want to be loud and the station wants to be loud. So you have this flat, cramped, digi-noise. So, when you listen to our records the best thing to do is really crank them up loud, cos then you’ll hear everything. You’ll hear all the space and it’ll be comfortable.
