With the utmost respect, are you guys deaf? Seriously?

Have you been so completely corrupted by modern orchestral recording techniques and bland orchestrations, that when something comes along that's intelligent, contrapuntal, musical, and recorded properly, you think it sounds like a synthesiser and or poor quality recording?

Do you actually know what a symphony orchestra sounds like playing in a concert hall?
