Alas, this "fashion" has been going on now since ~1995! I was shocked
recently that the "Dark Knight Rises" soundtrack has been affected...
Unbelievable that a soundtrack score would be compressed so severely ;-(
Utterly insane...
AFAIK it started with GNRs appetite for destruction 87? 89?
Most recordings around 1995 onwards have been compressed in this terrible
way.
