I guess I'll disagree with this one, too, while I'm at it.
While there are certainly some tracks where it's less of an issue than
other's, I think the point in listening to any recorded music is to hear
that artist's sounds as presented by the artist. So, yeah, I wanna hear
Autechre's fucked up sounds the way Autechre fucked'em up, not the way mp3
compression fucked'em up.
