->''[Digital limiting] essentially takes all the information and chops off the spiky bits-- transients-- that you don't hear as much as you perceive subconsciously. Those are the things that make you feel connected to the music. So something can be 10 dBs louder, but it somehow sounds slightly less involving. Each of those chopped-off peaks puts a little piece of distortion there instead, so the overall sound gets this hard, unpleasant kind of sheen, and you can't hear it as well.''

->''Music is about tension and release. With very "hot," un-dynamic music there is no release because the sensory assault simply doesn't let-up. By the time you've listened closely (or tried to) to a whole album that's heavily compressed, you end up feeling like Alex at the end of ''AClockworkOrange'' -- battered, fatigued by, and disgusted with the music you love.''
