Dynamics come in to play as well; that Dylan quote about modern recordings being atrocious and all. Soft and loud, harsh and rounded... that makes a difference when I listen. Dylan's Modern Times and Wilco's Sky Blue Sky take advantage of textures and dynamics better than a lot of records I've listened to recently.

Man, I'm glad you linked to this from here. I didn't remember this at all, but I'm glad to have a refresher. (Unfortunately, I also don't remember the conversation you note that spawned it - I'm kinda curious now!) I certainly get what you're saying. Texture is something I've come to realize is very important to me. If it doesn't "feel" right, it just doesn't work, and it likely never will. Not only that, I often have this visual in my head of a live line-graph to the music, or maybe the raw wave-form of the music as seen in a sound editing program. Up and down it goes as various events happen. No one else seems to understand what I'm talking about. Jeez, that sounds nuts, reading back on it.
