Re: 2018 Remixed, Double CDs / LP
Well, after hearing the new vinyls, I have to admit that those versions are probably the best versions of these albums. I really liked ATGTSAT, but since the sound was really compresed, because of the CD format, it was still not really perfect somehow not organic. But now, everything sounds really o...

Re: 2018 Remixed, Double CDs / LP
Yes, it's probably the gem here, but really sad that there's still no "The Bard's Song"(2003 version) in it.
I was hoping that I'll finally get it in the new re-release of this vinyl.

Traveller in Time: Yes, I also think that we'll hear a lot of new dimensions of Hansi's voice in the orchestral album.
And yes, I agree with Led Guardian that it's maybe the best work of Tobi.
