Simon R. 10 Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 OK that's it. Shawn Murphy should retire. There is so much noise on this album. And it's COMING and GOING. Suddenly you can hear a huge noiselevel fade up... Then at some points it either vanishes at once, or fades down again.. THen up again etc. This sounds like some 60's tapes that have been dug up, not a recording from 2002.Examples: Track #3 - huge noiselevel throughout, but at 1:05 it gains to a very loud level. Then fades out at 1:16 - seems to go with the electronic deep bass sounds. 1:50-2:05 - weird noise - sounds really really analogue tape like. Fades out after that, a fade of around 5 secs.Track #4 - Noise comes in all of the sudden at 1:04. Fades out at 3:02.I have yet to finish listening to this score which has already impressed me with its complexity and suspense, but the engineering on this is totally unacceptable. Mr. Williams, please assign SIMON RHODES next time around! Apparently Murphy can't hear anything from 2khz and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prick vs The DD 0 Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Hmmm, that almost sounds like the poor man is going deaf...how cruel would that be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,082 Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Hmmm, that almost sounds like the poor man is going deaf...how cruel would that be.Judging from his albums, Murphy's been going deaf for years. Except for the occasional highlight, like the Williams/Yo-Yo Ma album.Marian - who hasn't yet heard MR. "Mazda" concerto (Michael Nyman) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cruel, but still understandable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 My copy sounds wonderful, even "at close range" thru very decent monitor headphones.WLW :-)Your 'copy'. You know, they dont record each CD separately:) It all comes from the same master so all CD's will sound identical. Apparently you're another one of those who can't hear noise. And this in excessive amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,082 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Yeah. Good thing Philips' and Sony's DSD saved him on that one.Look who's talking! I was a bit worried about the combination of Murphy and DSD - and the more glad that it worked in the end. Marian - who feels he's being stalked by the Canadian.

Dinko 0 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Marian - who feels he's being stalked by the Canadian. Really? Hmmm... maybe scorecentral should be reported to appropriate board authorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Awalt 0 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 My "copy" has the same problems Simon R. has too. Bad edits from different sources? Even through a good pair of Sony headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
