I have both the original Vapor Trails and the remixed version. The remix is a completely different album.
I got nothin' :
...avoiding any implication that I have ever entertained a cognizant thought.

Those graphs speak a 1000 words... I've been happily buying 80s/90s CDs for a while now, and a very cheap prices.

A brickwalled vinyl record would really do a number on one's stylus, throwing it violently from one extreme side to the other, then back again.
Update: to put it more succinctly, the grooves of a brickwalled record would become more like saw blades, with similar teeth.

Check out Emerson's "Three Fates" recording for an CD that is not compressed. Well done. Also I think EJ Reunion DVD is also non-compressed. If you have a decent amp these really sound good.

I have. One version, I can listen to without my ears bleeding, and the other I can't even listen to in full.
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
They need to put out a new version of Clockwork Angels. I liked the music but is unlistenable for me due to the excessive mastering compression.
It sure sounds brickwalled to me. "Brickwalling" is the technical term for extreme limiting. Limiting is extreme compression with an infinite ratio. Standard compression will have a ratio from around 2:1 to 5:1, or thereabouts. Some more, some less, depending on the range of the hardware or software compressor being used.
Here's an example of the title track on Kaipa's Children of the Sounds album. Below was recorded off the vinyl:
Here's the same clip from the brickwalled CD:
Here's that CD clip zoomed in:
Imagine a record needle trying to ride through a groove closely resembling that valley. It would probably sound more like a buzz saw than actual music.

yup... no nuance at all
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
