You're right. For the first 27 seconds, "Zazueira" on the new HAP CD of WARM has a somewhat muted right channel that then opens up. I love your description of water draining out of your ear!
It's something of a disappointment that WARM, an album I've always loved and always wanted on CD, has to be one with such damage to a few of its tracks. "The Sea Is My Soil" is especially disappointing, though it does sound like they tried their best to clean it up. As I mentioned upthread, clean vinyl is the way to do justice to this album.
Hey, at least they go the title right this time - and not "The Sea Is My Soul".
Noticed this as well during my first "critical" listening session this afternoon.
Still love the album, though.
On a side note, the new Brass are comin' sounds great.
