PS: I often heard CD releases of vinyl or remastered CDs that simply had a
bad sound quality. It's impossible to fix something that is missing with
an equalizer. The sound quality of CDs by hook or crook is borderline, so
a CD doesn't forgive a bad mix. Note, that a lot of this 90s music was
produced for vinyl and without loudness war mixing, so it's likely that
they made loudness war remixes, or they remixed the bass to be ok on a
mobile phone.
