it'll only happen on a new format like DVD-A or (shudders-to-think-of-it) SACD.

they'll probably not want to release a CD that's quieter than the old versions...

while we're at it, we could petition for a load of albums to be re-issued in non-sucky versions, but again the marketing term "remastered" doesn't work unless it's on a new format altogether (leaving aside technical issues - we all know dithered 16-bit 44.1k is plenty adequate for all but the most obtuse of music).

to be honest, i've bought a few CDs lately, but none were released in the last 10 years (the last few were Sex Pistols, Led Zeppelin, Joy Division and Alice Cooper's horrible "trash" on LP for 5 cold hard bux). i'm going to stick to "back catalogue" until the current drought in music is over - i'll put up with sloppy mastering if the music is worth it (within limits - californication is a good album, but sounds like dried-up crap being pushed into my ears with hot needles), but currently not much has tickled my fancy.

[edit] i signed it anyway. can't hurt to try.
