to say that i am excited for these 4 re-releases/remasters is an understatement!
they look to be amazingly well thought-out compilations - somebody has obviously done their homework.
the original sound quality of the recordings was fantastic.
i just hope they don't screw-up the sound with the remastering.
AND... i'm hoping for the same 2CD treatment for later recordings.

These are absolutely, positively beautiful! I have only listened to "Eden" so far, but it is so cool to have all of those non-album tracks collected together in one place!

I might have to pick up the deluxe Eden. I like all their stuff, but that's the one I keep going back to.

Mine have shipped from the mother country but are in transit. I'm heading to the UK in late June so hopefully they'll get here before I get there...

well... i got all 4 sets a few days ago.
do i love all the 'first-time-on-cd' cuts? YES!
do i REGRET that the remastering sounds mildly compressed? HELL yes!
in other words, i guess i'll be hanging-on to those original issues.
for the record - the packaging is terrific.

I guess I don't have any idea what "compressed" even means, because these sound fine to me.

don't get me wrong...
the remastered sound quality is good.
it's just that in their efforts to improve on, what was/were,
incredibly pristine original recordings;
they've managed to eff-up some of the subtle warmth
and silky aural textures - unfortunately!
i believe that if you listen to EDEN side-by-side
original master to remaster - you'll hear what i mean.
i'd give the originals an A for sound quality... and i'd give the remasters an A-.

i'm certainly interested in what others may have to contribute here.
thanks!

Pretty much right on, except that I wouldn't give the Eden remaster such a high grade. It's nice and detailed, but unfortunately it's awfully, awfully bright. Disc 2 is chock full of nice material, which saves it. I have to go back and listen to my other copy of Eden again, but I think that's going to be my go-to, unless I find that simply cutting the treble on the new one does the trick.
