The debate about loud v. quiet CDs:
Does anyone here have the CD "Raw Power" remastered by the Ig himself?
That is the loudest CD I have ever heard! My wife always makes me turn it
down no matter how low the volume is set on my hi-fi. And yes, a lot of it
is distorted .... but it sounds great. So great in fact, that it makes
one wonder why David Bowie did such a poor job mixing it for release in the
70s.
Can anyone think of any CD louder than this one?
Now on quiet: CD #1 of the IPO Vol 4 compilation (the one kicked off by
Brendan Benson's "Folksinger") is one of the quietest CDs I have. Anyone
know of any reason why it came out so quiet?

PS np "Psycho" by The Sonics (another LOUD one)
