I'm pretty sure the compression is a stylistic choice. In fact I know it is. It's something that's been happening a lot in electronic music over the last few years, particularly on this side of the pond, and I don't hate it. Actually I'm not even sure it's really compression as such.

Not sure where I just went, but that was a neat journey.

It's tracks like this that make me wonder if the people who want to call all electronic music producers rubbish, talentless, etc even have ears.  Or souls.

Wow this is overcompressed. It is breathing like crazy. Is that the recording or Radio Paradise. Ugh!!! Driving me nuts!  PSD time.

Bonobo. So close to being a palindrome. Sigh.
