 Seeing everyone’s excitement with the Pylon 3LP set, I ordered the 3LP/2CD bundle today but as like someone wrote in a previous post I wasn’t thrilled at all with the Absolute Dissent RSD vinyl and I listen to the CD way more than the record. Definitely looking forward to hearing how Pylon sounds now as I love that album and I wonder what changes could've been made since it’s not that old of a recording

Almost forgot -- The same shop also had a new CD version of Pandemonium.
Anyone know if that one is the same as the second version that came out
along with a remaster of Democracy around 2005?

Thanks for the info, hoping the remaster will make it to iTunes so I can compare.

Probably not an earth shattering difference lol.

Love the green alt. cover?

I picked up a remastered 2xCD of Pylon this afternoon. So far, I
only compared "Autonomous Zone" and "I Am the Virus", and looked at the
stats for both versions of the CD. In its favor, the new version tames the
muddy or boxy bass. Less warm, but maybe a better balance. The 2nd CD adds
"Snakedance (dub)" and 2 radio edits. On the down side, the tracks are
about 1.5dB louder, and even more limited -- from a DR7 to DR5. Less bass
already would give more perceived loudness and increase the dynamic range,
so everything else has been pushed up more than that. This is not
inappropriate for the style, but pushed further than necessary. KJ are not
Napalm Death. Even so, the EQ of the new version probably would sound
better to most people on more systems.
