This is a great looking package -- just downloaded it, can't wait to really dig in. After a cursory listen to the Blake mixes, I can see why they had BOB redo some of the tracks. I LOVE Tchad Blake -- he's actually my favorite producer/engineer -- but the tracks don't really pop the way you'd want if you're looking to fill many thousands of seats on a worldwide tour.

Amazing job, but why didn´t you guys include the original Letter to the Dead with the different lyric or Insignificance with the extended intro? Other than that, again, amazing job.

The quality of the Letter To The Dead leak was too poor (96k MP3) and other than the minor lyric difference is otherwise the same mix as the lossless version on the Unreleased Cuts disc. The 96k Tchad Blake mix of Education was used because it was the only TB mix of the track available.
Insignificance was a tougher call - the extended intro version is available as a 192k rip of the 'Binaural Preview' disc, but we decided to use the otherwise identical mix from the NAIS single as it is lossless.
I do have a lead on getting a lossless rip of 'Binaural Preview' so will hopefully update this at some stage with lossless versions of those tracks (and replace the TB mix of Insignificance with the extended intro version )

Yea, I took a spin through this last night. Really awesome, likely how I'll listen to the record from now on (although the new extended running time precludes a full listen in short-drive scenarios). I love some of the new transitions: Insignificance - Evacuation is great, as are Grievance - Light Years, Of The Girl - Thin Air, and Fatal - Sleight of Hand. It's also helped to raise my appreciation for In The Moonlight, a song I was sort of lukewarm on before.
I still don't love Education -- I just think it's sort of a hoakey song. Sort of surprised at how much love that track gets...
