The SHAKESPEARE of the AGE THUNDERS against CDs, leading the Guardian to observe (in the LAST GRAF, where such things often occur):

Referring to sound technology, Mike Howlett, who chairs the Music Producers Guild, said: "If there is a problem then it lies with the quality of the music; therefore Dylan seems to be confusing quality of performance with sound quality. The top end of digital equipment gives a highly accurate reproduction of the signal coming in, so it is neither helping nor hindering the sound." But he said the sound of analogue equipment gave "some interesting distortions", which lent music "a certain character".

TRANSLATION: Old music has character. Newly-recorded music does not.
