it cracks me up that anyone would try to judge the fine points of a mix based on a 128kbps .wma stream.... i mean, it's easy to hear that it's a good, solid production... but going to finer points like the "body" in a kick sound is just stretching. it's a 128kbps .wma file people!! ... and please, no bs about how you're used to making critical judgements listening to such a low res, crappy codec... i've heard these mixes at signifcantly higher quality encoding from Andy and i can tell you right now that no judgement you can make from this crappy stream will hold water when you hear it encoded higher res, or better yet, when you check out the actual CD. fuggedabowdit.
