PJ Harvey - 1995 album To Bring You My Love.
Got it in 1995 on CD when it came out and liked it. But was not until I got the 2001 reissued record and played it on a very good system did I fully appreciate this album. Monster dynamics, earthy, raw, deep, emotional and dramatic.
PJ Harvey - 2000 album Stories From The City…
Fantastic songs but utterly ruined by the very compressed dynamic range. Flogged this to death on my car CD player and sounded nice, but playing the CD or record on a good system reveals just how awfully flat it sounds. Dead, no impact. Killed by DR compression.
