I think Melcher was referring to Spector's layering technique. He was saying that Spector layered the sounds with "
anger", "brutally" (or "heavily", to use one of your terms), whereas Brian would do it "
in a delicate way". Which I think is quite true.

That said, both techniques are interesting and have produced magnificent results!
...And may I suggest a more restrictive use of the suspension points, and a less restrictive use of paragraphs?
