i tend to try to respect the dynamics of the piece i am mastering,
which a lot of ambient/microsound music uses as its theme at times,
with too much compression some quiet parts could be mistakingly
brought to the fore.
For me mastering is really about presenting a final set of works as a
cohesive release and statment -- as mp3s, CD, or etc, and i find it
rather difficult to master just one song.  i suggest mastering only
when the release/work is completely finished.

and i do recommend bob katz book as well.  :)
