edit: interesting, apparently he did a "downmix" of the above dualdisks. I have a few of these...will do a comparison.
I listened to a bunch of songs from RIL (my favourite album) and it sounds very differently (in a good way). My CDs/FLACs are the older vanilla ones (not re-mastered or whatever they keep re-doing nowadays).

Right, but from my quick read of the page Richard shared, it sounds like they sort of cobbed it up anyway, but left enough good signal that the downmixer guy could move some of the elements off of dead center; make it easier to distinguish each element. I'll be interested to hear what you think...
I'm friends with Chris Frantz on facebook... I'm tempted to ask him how they feel about fans re-mastering their stuff... and why bands don't put out better mixes themselves.

I suspect the re-mastering isn't a problem, however distributing the re-mastered versions obviously might be. The existing torrent won't go away that easily even if the guy's site gets taken down.
A decent computer with headphones (or speakers) works well too to hear the difference.
I had just finished ripping all the TH CDs to FLACs when I came across that page via YouTube.

If he gets elected, we are going to be the laughing stock of the world again.
I deleted the post because apparently, there's some confusion regarding what happened to the bust between January 2009 and 2010. Mediaite reports that they have asked the British Embassy (the alleged source of the original story regarding the return of the loaned bust) for clarification.
More teeth gnashing and pundit posturing to ensue, undoubtedly.
Talking head Charles Krauthammer is a reliable, knee-jerk supporter of conservative themes and Republican talking points, but he doesn't usually resort to spreading blatant falsehoods.
