[microsound] usefulness of compressors/mastering in experimental music

[Anthony Saunders <anthony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been reading about compression and mastering lately and everything 
is written from the perspective of pop, rock, or techno music. Can 
anyone point me at any documents that discuss mastering & compression 
with a less pop-centric perspective? Or failing that, recommend any 
really good discussions of this?

I've been recording enormous ambient/noise/granular tracks lately and 
am pretty happy with how they sound; I would however like to read more 
about mastering and the such to make my recorded output sound as good 
as possible. Good being subjective, of course, but I would rather read 
about how to "warm" a recording and then decide that I prefer it "cold" 
than to be stuck without a choice in the matter.
