High Fidelity

[mzeid]

I've always wondered why back in the 90s I could tell just by the guitar sound or drum sound who's playing on the radio, even before the singer comes in with a line. Now, you can't tell anyone apart. Here's an interesting article on the fight for high fidelity sound.

A lot of the commenters have good points. I agree with the guy who said, "what's the point, if the songwriting and engineering are crap anyway?"

This guy though, he needs to get a life: You guys are missing the point. The artists aren’t concerned with whether or not you care. Music is about sending a message. With reduced sound quality, some of their message is lost. Some of what they’re trying to say to you is lost. All they’re trying to do is regain some artistic integrity in a world dominated by record company dinosaurs and talentless hacks whoring for American Idol.
