The 2013 remix of Radiation was a godsend. It wasn't done by Wilson. It brought vibrancy and life to the album. And as a result, it's become one of my favorites. This is the only Marillion remix I have, and I got it specifically because the original mix was too dense. I'm not interested in the later Wilson remixes as the other albums sound great to me. 

I know that the band were not overly happy with the original production of Radiation. However, probably owing to the fact that Phil Beaumont gave me an advance listen at the studios in Oswestry where it was recorded, I have always had a wee soft spot for it.
Yes, to be honest, that helped prompt me to seek out the remix. As far as your appreciation of the original mix, any Marillion appreciation is fine with me.

I'm talking about Marillion re-mixes. I hadn't realized the earlier ones had been remasters, so that's my bad, sorry.

I found Wilson's remixes of drums to be great! I'm not an audiophile, Wilson's remix of Brave sounded amazing to me. The Afraid of Sunlight remix (by someone I don't know) was also good, but not on par with Wilson's.

If you're not into buying/spending more on remixes, I get that. Though you should know that Marillion is actually posting album- or song-length samples of their remixes on their youtube channel. While YT might not offer the highest quality sound, I think it might be enough to push some of us over the edge and get us to buy the originals.
As you all know I only do LP records (or Vinyl) and I have both versions of Afraid Of Sunlight. The original 1995 LP release was mixed by the trio Nick Davis, Dave Meegan and Michael Brauer. The reissue from 2013 was not a remix or remaster, it is a reissue cut and pressed by a much better pressing plant than the original and uses the original master tapes to cut the lacquers. The 2013 sounds much better, the low end is more defined as well midrange is sweet, don't get me wrong the 1995 release is pretty good.
I've never heard the original LP release of Brave from 1994, I am in negotiations with someone on Discogs for one. But the 2013 reissue is absolutely glorious! I have only the original CD to compare and its not even close, I believe Dave Meegan mixed Brave and again this reissue was cut using the original master tapes, so no remix or remaster.
Most Marillion records sound fantastic especially the EMI reissues. My original 1985 US Capitol Misplaced Childhood is also fantastic but that one was mastered at Sterling Sound.
