Karl's voice is clean and clear and simultaneously separated while blending perfectly with the mix. My favorite is the clapping sound that comes in at 3:01. The texture of that is so crisp and just...so dirty. It's glorious!

I put the .WAV files of both the new remaster and original Dubno record on a blank CD to compare them back to back when I drive around town. The original 1994 recording was pretty good. It holds up well. The best part was 'no bricking'. You could turn it up loud and your ears never got fatigued unlike a lot of today's recordings. But the new stuff is like listening to it for the first time all over again. There's way more separation of the sounds.
It's really remarkable all the new sounds that come to life that was said above. It's on par to The Beatles remasters in my view....(maybe due to Abbey Road).
I can't wait to hear the rest of the work...especially Spoonman and Dirty Epic.
