The site starts with playing "Counting Out Time", and if you click the album covers on the top right, you can hear the entirety of:

The Knife, The Musical Box, Harold the Barrel, Get 'em Out by Friday, I Know What I Like, The Cinema Show, Counting Out Time, The Carpet Crawlers, and Happy the Man.

It also includes sample footage of interviews and concerts.

The site also announces (I haven't seen it before) the box set in vinyl. I wonder how much that will cost...

The songs I definitely notice the most change in are The Knife and Harold the Barrel. Everything is much more clear, and especially with The Knife, much much more thunderous. The vocal effects on Peter's voice give me chills! 

I'm officially excited for this!

Edit:

Major things I have noticed so far:

  1. The vocal effects in the Knife
  2. The clarity of Gabriel's voice in all songs
  3. The loudness of the guitar
  4. The vibrancy of the keyboards (especially the solos in the Cinema Show)
  5. The little things in Harold the Barrel are brought out to the forefront
  6. When I listened to the Musical Box, the drums seemed to be a bit in the background... not sure if this is actually the case, but they just seemed less powerful and in your face which is what I loved about the song in the first place

All of these contribute to the songs sounding like they were made now and not in the 70s. The muddle is gone and the production clear. I really wish I could hear what Watcher of the Skies sounds like now...
