Would rather see an album of b sides to be honest. Be interesting to see if these really have been remastered and as there is no way of knowing we will have to wait till somebody actually buys these and confirms it. No point in buying Andromeda Heights though as it's fine the way it is and doesn't need remastered. Anybody thinking of buying these get them from that site cdjapan and not eil.com as i compared prices for jordan which was £12 on cdjapan and on eil they want £30 for it ripping off bastards they are.

Agreed. In general, I'd say that anything released after 1992 doesn't justify any kind of remastering, but hey, I guess you can always make it louder!

Depends on how much a fan you are if you care or not about the remastering I suppose. I agree the 90's sound better than the 80's, but that is a given.
I will buy them they are only $20 a piece and i never get tired of their catalogue, one of the few bands i can say that about.
