Edited 2 months agoAs a now previous owner of the Fifth Column ver. yes maybe it was a boot but it was still nice to have this gem on cd but I mean but after an earful of this remaster (from the originally sourced tapes) the fidelity is much improved. Theres now more clarity and a better stereo field much more noticed at lower volume levels especially the synth bass on a few tracks. The booklet although a nice repro of what I surmise was the original innards of the crusty vinyl's booklet or sleeve has alot of useless babble about plants but the additional retrospective insight that looks back on the release is warm and reflective on the genius that was Mort Garson. The music as expected in major keyed Moog and string synth goodness just don't even fathom anything like Switched On as Mort composed his own music and had a keen knob tweaking ability on the Moog.
