I think Rolling Stone did an article on the same subject about a year ago. I see that Guardian article was published in January of 2007. I didn't read the entire Guardian article because I'm already familiar with the subject. Does it point out that not all albums made today are mastered too "hot"? The article I read gave Bob Dylan's Modern Times as an example of a (then) recent album that does not use this compressed mastering technique.
