| RE:remasters
The Cocteau Twins remasters are disappointing. There is waaaay too much limiting applied. I believe Robin Guthrie oversaw the mastering himself, so I guess it's "authentic," but sometimes when artists are heavily involved with remastering work, they have a desire to make their old, great-sounding records compete with modern Loudness War records and the result can be a disaster. Cocteau Twins deserve to be remastered, for sure, but I wish Tony Cousins had done it, instead of Guthrie.
