OK firstly, the music is pretty lovely. About harshness though, when I heard the first track I was going to say any harshness was a marginal thing, maybe hidden by my tinnitus. But I heard the second track and I started to notice it more. It is not the worst ever, but it is enough to notice, and enough that if I crank the volume my ears will start to get tired after a couple tracks or so. Across the whole album though, some tracks are more tolerable in that regard than others because they don't all flood the upper mids all the time.
I wonder if it is just due to the fashion of cranking up the upper mids to increase perceived loudness, which isn't such a great idea for Goa because most Goa fans won't want to feel like someone is hammering metallic objects right into their ear drums, well IMHO anyway.
Maybe we just need a cassette version AP!
Good album.
