     Hey all, just received that remaster of CE. I will now list the
layout changes for your reading pleasure :-). The cover on the new album
is darker, like the picture had a little longer exposure time in the
developing room, seems to give it more depth, unfortunately on the
remaster the Kronos is nowhere to be found, they omitted it entirely,
but at least they remembered the umlauts. The inside of the jacket on
the remaster has two pictures, one with a boy sitting on the edge of a
dinosaur's fossilized footprint, surrounded by a fossilized rock bed,
and in the background some reconstructed dinosaur skeleton (ya know,
those exhibits in the museum, I can't recall the proper terminology
right now), but you can only see the tail in the shot. The second
picture is the same kind of shoot as the first, but now a girl has
replaced the boy, I'm assuming these were the picture's displayed on the
original inner sleeve, I don't know as I have never seen the original
LP. The back of the remaster's jacket only display's the picture of Fig.
C, and to the right of that the band members are listed along with the
sources used and the credits (this was inside the jacket on the original
CD release). The CD holster (or what ever you would call it) in the
remastered CE is clear (like the HF album), and behind the CD is a
picture of the CE that is on the cover. On the back of the jewel case
Fig. A and Fig. B are shown instead of Fig. C, the song listings also
include the length.
     The overall dynamics seem to be improved (I'm not an audiophile so
I'm kinda out of my area here), though after listening to one selection
from each disk they don't seem to be much different at all. They have it
available to order at:
