Is this it?. The original one is out of print, and this one has a release date of March 24th 2006, so I'd assume it is. Nothing looks very out of the ordinary about it, except that Sakimoto's two remixes from the original release have been removed from the track listing.

Most amazing jew boots

Ahhh, very nice. So, it's exactly as the definition of remastered is

The tone on the remastered version is much warmer, and you can hear the lead line a lot more clearly.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow, this is definately a different approach to things. I love some of the subtle intricacies exposed by lifting the reverb a bit and EQing things differently. It's true that some things sound a bit more artificial ... <compnerd> However, you can tell what's going on a lot better in some sections and makes for a more succesful attempt at decyphering what's going on compositionsally

The main thing detrimental that I noticed is that the opening has far too much high end, sounds like it's coming off a cheap TV rather than a professional mix. But I don't usually listen to that track anyways.

Thanks for the upload lassic

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

While I'll disagree that it sounds like a different song, I will agree that I like the original mix more on the majority of tracks, if only for the atmosphere/'verb.

Oh wow, the difference in Wyvern is even more offensive than in Rosencrantz. Sure you have to turn it up a bit more to get the full effect, but it's definately a lot more atmospheric and conductive to the samples being used. If it were a live orchestral sound, I'd say tone it down, but given the nature of the medium I definately appreciate the large space it's presented in.

The next track, LeaMonde Town Center, has a ton of audible defects in the sound, and the bass isn't nearly as punchy when it comes in. The piano also benefits from the long reverb trails, giving it that otherworldly feel I loved about it.

(On a side note I find this all a bit ironic, since the most prevailant comment on my senior recital's recorded pieces was "you use too much reverb" when this is clearly a case of when a large 'verby sound aids the sound rather than hinders it)

How ya doing, buddy?
