PJ Harvey - Rid Of Me - 11 Dry (Private Remaster) video free download
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!

It took me about 10 listens before I figured out this song was about orgasms (or the lack thereof).10 years ago

The loudness wars pretty much destroyed digital music, I'm actually glad at how he mastered it... Why? Well, too quiet is pretty easy to fix, turn it up, or digitally manipulate the levels. Too loud? Basically the signal is destroyed and there's no way to get it back...10 years ago

I'm guessing Albini wasn't a big participator in the loudness wars when he mastered this album...because the sound sucks for private listening.10 years ago

yeah zararity gots big ears with the touch of a poetry translator to boot. An archival artist. I could only imagine what albini's dynamic production meant for it's uploading. it's almost like albini who champions analog recording techniques (though he's not ideologically anti-digital in terms of access) produced this record to railroad easy uploading years before youtube even existed...kinda like the mag. Art Forum which is intentionally sized to make xerox duplication a challenge.11 years ago

You could always hold your nose. Or better yet, clamp one nostril with a finger, and clamp the other on the clit. Then huff and puff through it.11 years ago
