My last post may be not applicable. I forgot the discussion revolved around a non-lp format. I think the vinyl sounds great.
New Santana Album "Africa Speaks"
Santana has a new album out; since it's not quite jazz, and I'm not sure if it's Rock, I'll just throw it up for grabs and see who likes it.
Africa Speaks is inspired by music from the continent of Africa, and has been called a "unique fusion of rock, Latin and jazz". Many of the album's tracks were recorded in one take. The album features vocals from Spanish singer Buika.
Africa Speaks was released on June 7, 2019 by Concord Records and Suretone Records, but this is the first time I've seen it on "you-tube"
Since it has been hard for me to find anything by Santana that I didn't like, I'll refrain from expressing my biased opinion.

No one gets out alive. Even the LP is overly compressed. 😢 http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=Santana+&album=Africa+speaks |
In the rock/pop world if you don't use large amounts of compression across the entire mix, your song will sound weak and wimpy when it follows a track that is heavily compressed. The compressed track will sound louder, punchier and more alive when compared directly to the uncompressed track. Technically the process is compression/limiting. They chop off the signal peaks and then raise the average signal level. It's like having an amp that goes to "11". |
