Music is percieved to be more intense as the listener forced to become more
involved in the experience. The music acts as a trigger and the involvement
of the listener makes the experience complete. Low-fi recordings force the
listener to use their brain to make the experience complete. When listening
back to recordings of concerts there is also a memory attached which
enhances the experience...
