Comment This is one of the earliest instances of brickwall limiting I've seen. Dynamics are better here than on later releases, but there is a hard cut-off that removes probably around 1-3 dB of dynamic range, depending on the song. Neither 'Hear It Is' nor 'Telepathic Surgery' on Restless are mastered like this. Considering what the Lips would go on to do to their music in post-production years later, one has to wonder if they had a hand in the mastering of this CD.
