OK, "Compression is used on practically everything TO SOME EXTENT IN POP
MUSIC."  Happy?  It's probably used on your Telarc CDs, but in a subtle
way.  Believe me, I've miked live instruments and without compression of
SOME form, you are at the mercy of tiny little movements.  The player
swings his/her instrument two inches to the left or right and WHAM!
Instant glazed donut time.

There's a difference between "totally eliminating dynamic range" and
"adding compensation for subtle (and not so subtle) shifts in input level."
