It's a term audiophiles sometimes use for a sound where it's hard to discern the different strands of a recording.
Hmm. Jules Meaning? |

Liege and Lief (Remastered CD, Island, 2002).
Not my favourite Fairport album. That would be Holidays. L&L always sounds cluttered and closed in to me. This CD doesn't help. Some great singing on it though, and you get 2 bonus tracks.
It's my least favourite of the classic first 5 (or 6). I value, understand and appreciate its importance in the canon...but I don't love it anywhere near as much as the other 4. Not sure I really agree about the overall sound, mind. And, tbh, I just laugh when I hear audiophiles talk - it's mostly nonsensical to me, just something to put between the music and the mind. By any means possible is my mantra. Which is probably why I like 8-tracks and cassettes  |

An audiophile i suppose, but one of my cassette players is in for service as we speak i'm much looking forward to its return. |

That's normally pretty pricey isn't it? Good? |
