Anyone heard/compared the Steven Wilson...

I haven't heard the Steve Wilson remixed LP only because as far as I know, it
was only available as part of a multi-media package. He did good work on
Benefit, though, which was a really murky recording. I have quite a few
Aqualung pressings, among them the old MoFi, the DCC, the Classic
Records 45 rpm (both black and Clarity- 8 records!), UK early press
(probably first, can't remember), U.S. first, and several U.S. WLPs. The best
one among all those is the U.S. WLP. It is not a very good recording, which is
why I have so many different pressings.

HDTracks has the Steven Wilson re-mix on sale right now for $17.98:

And *every* Steven Wilson re-mix/re-master I've heard to date were astonishingly good. This guy is a true genius and perfectionist, I have virtually everything he's done and I have NEVER been disappointed.

Check out "Stupid Dream", "In Absentia", and "Arriving Somewhere...." from his band Parcupine Tree, these are tremendously good recordings.
