I like this thread. But - I'd like to say that I think it's poss to take this preference for 'gritty realism' too far as much as the favouring of highly finessed productions: remember, the main reason producers emphasize the attack on everything is because they want them to stand out in a very competitive market for electronic dance music. Plus lo-fi productions are actually very difficult to handle on a very big system - I'd guess it would be easier in the mix just to throw on the latest New York drum track and let the worry stop there, till the next record, than trying to get some old classic, occupying 1 inch of dirty vinyl, to come off ... (mho)
