Dylan blasts modern music recordings

Bob Dylan has hit out at modern recording techniques, dubbing the results "atrocious".

He claims using CDs as the main format is partly to blame, saying the songs he recorded for his upcoming album sounded much better in the studio than they do on the disc.

He told Rolling Stone magazine: "I don't know anybody who's made a record that sounds decent in the past twenty years, really. You listen to these modern records, they're atrocious, they have sound all over them. There's no definition of nothing, no vocal, no nothing, just like ... static."

Dylan releases Modern Times, his first studio album for five years, next Tuesday.
