I'm assuming that the 25th Anniversary domestic is exactly the same as the EMI import not knowing which release you own. Anyway, on my system every aspect of the remixed presentation is cleaner and clearer: Roger Glover's bass goes deeper and is much better articulated, Ian Paice's drums have more snap without any loss to the phasing, Ian Gillan's vocals have more presence, and Richie Blackmore's guitar has a more fluid presentation; it's like a veil has been lifted away from the source tapes, bringing the listener into the recording studio! Overall, I find the remixes are very revealing and highly enjoyable. My one caveat is that several of the remixes run on a little too long, but that was the very intent of releasing this as a two-CD set. Basicly it's an artistic exercise, and it works very well IMHO.Nevertheless, I will go back and compare track for track the remixes against the remasters just to reassure myself that the remixes were as revealing as I remember them.
