So how do I deal with such material ? Is an exciter useful in this scenario ? Or ... ?
I've no experience here, but some gentle (& not so gentle) EQ-ing makes the listening experience quite a bit better here.
This link shows my settings for the 8 band eq from the calf plugins. No other processing done..

Toggling parametric III in the middle will take lots of the very highs out. Makes it feel "cleaner" to me, but I don't think
it suits this song, so I de-activated it. I'm sure you've done some EQing like this yourself with similar results.
I'm in the mood to play with some plugins though :) -H
