My friend <a href="http://www.chadblinman.com">Chad</a> and I have discussed this ad nauseam. We even started <a href="http://www.functionalequivalentrecordings.com">Functional Equivalent Recordings</a> so that we would have a place to not only release our music in the form we want it to be heard in, but also to express that we want higher fidelity in the recordings released by all artists, which we don&rsquo;t find to be particularly ground-breaking and wonder why this isn&rsquo;t the norm already.</p>
