Is there a possibility that our strive towards accuracy is actually counterproductive to musical engagement/enjoyment?

[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 1140218, member: 17918"] Good production does make for a good listen. Mind you, it does also depend on exactly what is being expected from the production. Probably too mainstream but, listen to Nirvana’s three albums (in original format). ‘Bleach’ is very rough and raw punky (but that was what was required at the time and actually felt like a gig that had been recorded), ‘Nevermind’ is much more open, the drums and guitar much more front and centre and clear, the bass is driving through the back and the mix is very early 90s), then we get to ‘In Utero’, some Steve Albini, some Scott Litt (on the singles), a mess on some tracks, some raw some clean, as a whole completely dis-functional and pretty much perfect because of it. There are very few intros as good as ‘Teen Spirit’ (driving Butch Vig style riffage, drums and bass hitting at the same time, clear, clean, separate), there are also few intros as good as ‘Serve the Servants’ (Open, live sounding, perfect instrument mix, Steve Albini) It is all personal preference [/QUOTE]
