It's true about the stereo thing. So many people are used to almost laughable stereo that the Beatles' records were remixed to yet so many (including myself) see these as the canonical versions and were inspired by this lopsided mixing technique, copying it for decades to come (mostly in independent music). But ya, there is something to it... pan the bass and drums hard into one channel and the guitar and a way too loud tambourine in the other! It really does actually sounds great :) I actually lament the lack of way-too-loud percussion in "music these days". Well, ok, I'm opening myself up for a deluge of "but what about this style of music that makes percussion way too loud!???" Well, ok, I guess I'm just talking about guitar-driven music here. So ya, I guess I'm saying, "Guitar-driven music need louder tambourine... damn these kids today!!!". I'm not saying that but, you know :) [edited for grammar]
