Ordered it from Juno so we'll soon see! :)
jt - I know what you mean about some of the original mastering, it's
going to be interesting.

Great point about the mastering perhaps giving a more consistent

I hadn't been so interested in actually listening to the comp, since I
know it all already, until you guys reminded me about the
remastering...It'll be interesting to hear how esp. certain tracks
might sound better/different -- Wavejumper & The Countdown Has Begun
come to mind off the top of my head, the 909 in the originals is so
punchy and I think that record is kinda crusty, in a good way and in a
bad way...
I think some stuff could really benefit in some ways but maybe others
might lose some specialness, even if they sound technically better,
I'm pretty curious now...Especially I think where Ron Murphy was
involved, it'll be interesting to hear the difference because it's
bound to be pretty different...Everything he mastered (like
Wavejumper/UR-030) had his touch, a bit of wildness that fit the music
so well..On the other hand, it wasn't always a 100% success...;)
