Is it me or is 80's record production much better than subsequent decades?
I've spent the evening spinning a few CD's... Dire Starights, Belinda Carlisle, Kim Wilde, Fleetwood Mac, Madonna to name a few. The quality of these recordings to me sound so much more dynamic and involving than anything in the charts today.
I have 1950's Jazz which sounds better mixed than today's stuff.
We all know about the 90's loudness wars and such, but even so I don't think I own any music post the early 90's which sounds as focused and dynamic as the aforementioned stuff.
Stereo imaging, separation, clarity, bass impact (in terms of realism), all of that joust sounded so good tonight with recordings which are not much different in age to me!
What is your guys take on it?
