Axel: a bit OT in a thread like this. Supposed to be about albums one likes...
I bought The Currency Of Man when it came out (actually before as I pre-ordered). I had high hopes after simply loving all her previous releases. I guess the music on The Currency Of Man is good, but the album is probably produced to sound good on a laptop so I never listen to it. There is a massive boost around 80-100 Hz that makes it unlistenable on a good full range system. I bought the hirez version from Qobuz and I even complained to them about it as I thought it might be an error. Qobuz offered me a refund. Great people!
Is your copy of this album anything like what I describe?
Hi ogs,
Er, no. Nothing jumped out at me like you describe and I've listened to it a few times. I'll have another go tomorrow and get back to you.
Alex.
