Continuing the talk of the problems with over-compression of recorded music, I came across this article:

I just purchased Suzanne Vega's Beauty & Crime. I almost lost my hearing when it started up with my amp at its normal volume level! I can't even listen to it all the way through in one siting without getting fatigued. Same with Carly Simon's Moonlight Serenade. Good music, but ruined by the engineer. Geeez, when will this stop?
