Saw this on Slashdot this morning. Nothing I haven't already read, but still a nice article.

'One of the most prominent examples of this is the recent Red Hot Chili Peppers album Stadium Arcadium, which was remastered for vinyl by mastering engineer Steve Hoffman with the intent of providing full dynamic sound. Hoffman is one of the few mastering engineers who have actually refused to take certain jobs because he's been asked to overcompress music. “[It happens] all the time,” says Hoffman. “At least once a week.”'

Cool. I have some of Hoffman's CD's and they are wonderful.
