- The point is it's a remastering, not a remixing. Theoretically, this should
- only improve the sound, the implication being that the original remastering
- when the first CDs were released wasn't done with as much care and attention
- as our Mr Eldritch put in on the second release. I haven't heard the two to
- compare, but I do remember being a bit disappointed with the quality of the
- original CD's sound. Perhaps that's just 'cos Doktor Avalanche always had a
- crap tinny sound. (Yes I do like SoM!)
-
- I thought the track listings were identical.
