Dream Theater – Black Clouds & Silver Linings

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.

Thank you for visiting, this site aims at bringing awareness to the general public about a worrying and disasterous trend in modern recorded music, commonly dubbed “The Loudness Wars”. This is where music is being excessively compressed or “squashed” in terms of loudness so that a song is as loud as possible the entire way through.
