I need some music recommendations. Anyone know any songs that isn't nearly brick-walled? I'm looking for something that's calmer and/or well mastered.

I remember some of us here were butchering the mastering of My Dearest, though I don't quite remember now. I remember we crit Egoist stuff, but not sure about that one.

Guess I may be bidding against some of you folk here. Or at least watch you guys bid. Someone here has to buy it 

 Mice,  I'll leave the job to you!

Yeah I'll try. I won't pay over $400 though; $350 is kind of my limit on one piece of gear at the moment.

Bohemian Rhaposdy and My Dearest don't have good mastering.

What happened to the fcking Honda Jazz?? It used to be way better looking than that.....

Really? You don't like second gen Jazz looks? The 2013 facelift of the Jazz is the best looking IMO. Not only that, the JDM and Asian Domestic Market is the best looking Jazz/Fit against the USDM and the EUDM ones.
 
Compared to the first gen, the first gen sure is smaller but it looks a bit girly. The second gen 2013 facelift (next year, there will a new generation Jazz which I've seen and it's not even remotely pretty) is the best looking of them all, except for those wheels.

It's a shame but pretty much every supercell release has shoddy mastering. Although to be fair every other Vocaloid or Anime OP/ED release nowadays is no better. The last set of anime openings and endings CD i've heard that were properly mastered was this http://vgmdb.net/album/18427 . I still enjoy all the new songs but I wish I can enjoy them more fully.

A lot of them are from older games, which are, for the most part, from when I wasn't even born yet or just a kid. But I am getting recommendations from a series in Youtube though. Been greatly rewarded for it.

Right, regarding any recommendations. A lot of what I like are mostly anime songs, which apparently doesn't overlap with a lot of people here. And being the normal anime lovers, the songs are acquired... the usual way. Not everyone though, but that means that they are the ones that are willing to pay to import.

You could probably try any of these YT playlist; you might get lucky like I do with a good-ish mastering.

Pesonal Vocaloid playlist

Feel So Good by supercell has decent dynamics.

maybe it was the angle of your shot. Honestly I'm not that bothered to go google it though.

Maybe I don't listen to much Supercell, or maybe my superior taste in anime has led me to good mastered OSTs and OP/ED singles, but I haven't encountered such instances. What are the few supercell albums with shoddy mastering?
