"That's what music's doing now, yelling at you"

Man sollte sich wirklich das ganze Interview mit Morgan Geist durchlesen, aber diese Passage hat eine Standing Ovation verdient:
Nothing sounds like a Morgan Geist record. I'm too ignorant to even be able to verbalize why what you do sounds so crisp and nice and pleasantly tactile.
Maybe a little bit of the difference has to do with resisting going loud, like so much pop music does. If you listen to my record on your iTunes, it's going to be a little softer than the rest of what's on there. And it's because I believe that you should have transients and dynamics. If you look at a pop waveform, it looks just like a block of sound. It's crushed so there's no room at all. It's constantly loud, whereas mine looks like an actual wave. Part of it's that I leave room when I master, and that's usually when people crush the stuff, if they haven't already crushed it when recording. They crush and crush so that the finished product is this loud block of noise. People think dynamics are a bad thing now. It's sad, like if we just communicated to each other all the time without any inflection, always just yelling. That's what music's doing now, yelling at you.
Ein weiterer Grund (abgesehen davon dass es schon beim Probehören großartig klang) übrigens warum ich mich so sehr auf Double Night Time freue, es gab dieses Jahr schon zu viele Alben die ich noch ein Stück lieber mögen würde wenn sie nicht so unangenehm laut wären.
