Comment A really interesting case, as we're fully into that so-called transition period at this stage. A few songs are showing more volume pushing than usual, and they're pretty obvious (look at that Patricia Kaas ballad louder than many Eurodance songs). Also, DR values may seem low but most songs here have stronger bass than your typical 80s record, and this tends to trick the DR meter. In that particular period where brickwalling was starting to kick in, most compilations such as this one would turn down the loudest songs by a few dBs, in order to match the loudness of other ones. This is visible especially on DDD masterings, which were starting to be more ubiquitous back then. However, it will not last very long. By 1994-1995, it's the opposite practise (turning up the quietest songs) which took over.
