Nice upgrade over the plain 2nd gen (and common releases), this was passed through the R&D process and now it sounds really nice, i like the remasters or revisions he does, he has a good ear for this. The original transfer runs pretty slow, sounds a bit dull too and has a bit of white noise on Time, this was all cleaned & fixed carefully and the result is a much more listenable recording. Spectral looks identical to the original unprocessed source.

The show is ok, nothing stellar but very well performed. There's a couple of cuts, 'Mortality Sequence' is only 1:50m long, 'One Of These Days' has an inner cut at the beginning and Echoes has an inner cut in the middle section and then it cuts off at the very end (same cuts on previous sources too).

Thanks R&D for your job on this and the great artwork, and thanks to whoever put this source in circulation. -gbc
