 	Damn, is that any kind of official? I was hoping for good things 
from a _Mirrors_ remaster, it's always struck me as an album that needed 
freeing from its production, plus which I can't remember ever seeing the 
regular CD on sale. CE is one of my favourite BOC albums, too, and if 
theres was bonus material from that era I'd love to hear it. FoUO may 
be OK as it stands, I guess, already quite digital. ETI wouldn't suffer 
too much from a clean-up either. I wonder whether tRBN and CN would really 
justify the effort, myself, though. Oh well, yours,
