      Is it just me or does the CD remaster sound much better than the vinyl version when comparing ?

        Sounds phenomenal! It’s a rarity, but this is an instance where I think I like the remix more than the original. It definitely gives the soundstage a bit more space to breathe. Arjen really outdid himself on this one. The box is pretty cool, with the embossed front. It doesn’t feel like anything is “missing” which is really good, especially at the price.

          Since it has the live album too, shouldn’t it be its own release and not be under the original studio album?

          Got my copy today and it is beautiful. The embossed cover is out of this world.

            I have a DVD copy of The Theater Equation, but had not previously watched it, even though I'd been meaning to do so. But getting the box today motivated me to watch the Blu-Ray version tonight, and am I ever glad I did. I've long loved The Human Equation, and was really impressed by the video release of Into the Electric Castle, so I had high hopes for this one, and I was not disappointed. It's great music, and maybe even a better production. Everyone shines here, especially Marcela Bovio and, of course, James La Brie.
