PJ Harvey - Rid Of Me - 02 Missed (Private Remaster)

A new 'Private Remaster'... What a good album... Brutal, aggressive, abrasive are some words... but damn, it was mastered so quietly! Yeah, dynamic range is a nice thing but the levels this album was originally mastered meant I rarely listened to it, especially when out and about because I couldn't get my iPod loud enough to drown out the whir and hubbub of the buses I'm usually on! So here it is. It is anything but brickwalled. I HATE digital clipping, it's ruined so many albums I love... again, the opposite problem to what I was saying about the original "Rid Of Me" CD, but the same after-effect, music that I love but rarely want to listen to. I had a careful look over the waveforms, decided what levels to work with and used as minimal compression possible to get the levels to a more suitable point. I can't hear any problems with digital clipping and I've already replaced the original CD with this one on my iPod! Enjoy! And remember, buy the original, support your favourite bands and musicians!
