Always on the lookout for well recorded popular music, I was completely surprised that Dido's newest (well 2008), Safe Trip Home, actually has minimal compression, but does seem to have the mid-range fattened up with some EQing. The drums kick nicely. If you like adult contemporary, female singers, check it out.
