Porcupine Tree: The Incident

Justice For Audio — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 04:50:07 +0000

The Incident

The sound on this album is fantastic. It is so crisp and lively. The First and second disc are DR 10. The lowest track is DR 9 and the highest is DR13. It is simply a pleasure to listen to.

This continues Steven Wilson’s track record of producing Dynamic music. Fear of a Blank Planet clocked in at DR9 which also sounded great as well as did the reissue of Lightbulb Sun which is DR10. While DR12 or 13 would be even better, Porcupine Tree albums stand head and shoulders above most of their peers. In an age of ear oppressing barriers of noise, PT is bringing back much of what has been lost in the listening experience.

Black Clouds & Silver Linings – JFA Classic Edition

Justice For Audio — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 03:04:42 +0000

Remixed & Remastered from the isolated audio stems – This community edition of the tracks was made with the intent of incorporating some pre-1990 sonic elements of rock/metal recordings where suitable, and to increase dynamic range – resulting in approx 13db Dynamic Range (DR Meter).

Of course, some may love it, some may not – it is just another edition to try at the end of the day – however hopefully people will be able to hear the music and compositions in a new way, and hopefully also in a more enjoyable way.

To hear this edition – please view the details in our forum – registration required.

BBC 4 Radio Report on Death Magnetic & Sound Issues

Justice For Audio — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:17:11 +0000

Today, BBC 4 Radio in the UK aired a report by Joel Moors on the Consumer Affairs’ programme – You and Yours.

The show interviewed some Metallica fans and also Mastering Engineer Ian Shepherd [Visit Blog]

Joel and Ian dicussed the fundamental problems on the Death Magnetic CD and how it affects the music when played, and why this is done on the CD and not on the version of the album downloaded via the Guitar Hero III Game on the Playstation 3 & XBox 360 consoles, including a direct comparison between the CD version and the GHIII version.

Justice For Audio would like to thank Joel for picking up on the issue and contacting us prior to the programme looking for the views of real metallica fans about the CD.

For an MP3 recording of the report – Grab It Here and for the youtube videos, just press play on each part below.
