Bit of a synthpop binge - first Alphaville's
Forever Young (nice and dynamic, I can get my O110s way out of their comfort zone, if admittedly mine as well), then Chvrches'
The Bones Of What You Believe (much more heavily compressed but a number of good songs, not quite as hard on speakers), a bit of Tears for Fears and finally
The Best of A Flock of Seagulls (I ended up with a second copy by accident years ago and have been unable to give that away, shame 'cause they had some good tunes).
I could continue with OMD now but it's bedtime. Maybe one last spin of Spoon'
Nova Heart... ha, here's an
Isolation Edition:
I've definitely heard bands sound worse after 38 years...
