I also noticed that on the leak version played on my system, next to the obvious clipping at times, the brass can sound a bit too bright/harsh/painful at high volumes. Though that can be just my system; I know I have a bit overly active tweeters when playing at loud volume. So no comment on that if it's the same in the real CD version, in that case it's just my system which could use sweeter tweeters. As long as the clipping is gone. One Californication is enough.
I've heard the album quite a few times now, and I start to like more parts of it and the parts I liked already, I like even better now. This is a lovely album, really easy to listen to and beautiful at times. Most of it can't move me like some parts of Ommadawn or Amarok can to name 2, but these masterpieces do not make MOTS anything less than a gently flowing, enchanting, beautiful album. And it has some climaxes or uplifting pieces which are almost -almost- on the level of the climaxes in the 2 mentioned albums.
edit: skipping a bit through the album, I must revise this post a bit. Some parts ARE on the same level as his best works, maybe not with the best parts of his best works though .
