Have any of you heard of a band out of the UK called "Delirious"?? They have a CD which was mastered out of Abbey Road in London called "King of Fools". I love the music but the mix / mastering seemed like compression overkill.
Lemme explain. I imported the files into my editor to find the mix extremely loud / compressed. For most passages of the mix there were virtually NO PEAKS!! I'm talking damn near solid blue color for each of the tracks. (in SoundForge) I've seen (& heard a few loud mixes in my day but this takes the cake! It seems like they mixed all parts of the song to be as loud as possible then compressed the shit out of it!!
So this is my question...
Is this a mastering technique or a studio engineer gone haywire???
