(3 News New Zealand) Unlikely
Website caught selling Beatles mp3s illegally says they did nothing wrong - the tracks were re-recordings made to sound exactly like the originals through 'psycho-acoustic simulation' technology

PROVE it wasn't!

My entire musical collection is psycho-acoustic simulation equivalent.

Dinosaurs.

The evidence is right here:

Beatles (new window)

Not Beatles (new window)

Psycho-erotic simulation...

Will be a media buzz word within the year.

Mark my words.

A contemporary (new window) of The Beatles might have something to add, if he were alive:

Gould became a leading exponent among classical performers of a true aesthetic of recording, which he passionately defended in articles and broadcasts, and practiced in dozens of albums for Columbia/CBS, developing a hands-on expertise in recording techniques.

A studio performer, he felt, need not be concerned with projecting musical effects into an auditorium for the purpose of catching and holding the attention of an audience; rather, he could subject the music to minute inspection of detail at every structural level. Moreover, he could allow the technology itself - placement of microphones, splicing, overdubbing, reverb, etc. - to influence the interpretation, and could defer many final interpretive decisions to the post-production process.


Post-production could include listening to takes and dancing around the studio, waving his arms around, instilling some extra 'energy'. Methinks Hank Risan may be applying similar techniques, and, thus, may be looking to make a fast buck.

I felt the unlikely tag better complemented the article.

Excuse me, I've got to get busy re-typing some best-selling novels using my just-discovered "psycho-digital simulation" technology. Get it? I'm using my digits to re-record the original!

The contrast in styles is striking.

Bluebeat.com is (or was) for the past few years by far the best site for streaming music - 320kbps playback plus shared playlists created by them and members of a small but devoted group of users. Their "time machine" music programs (arranged by decade & genre) were especially awesome.

I for one will miss Bluebeat greatly if if goes down. The 25-cent download deal they rolled out last week looked too good to be true, and by golly it was.

I only understood because I came in to say the exact same thing. But from a different context.
