Well, not before mastering- the songs were mastered for vinyl and that eq is the EXACT eq on the Arcade Fire CD because it was only mastered to vinyl and then transferred directly to digital. The only thing in the way of the signal was a good set of A to D converters.
Nice, purist approach. I've been wanting to do this for decades. I'm glad they did.

That's awesome. Probabaly a huge part of the reason why I've been listening to mp3s of that album constantly since it's come out and it still hasn't worn me out. IMHO the Arcade Fire seem to have some of the best ideas and almost always execute them eloquently.
