2 stars The re-recording absolutely butchered "Rhayader Goes To Town". The highlight of the song, its deeply memorable chorus (about 1 minute 14 seconds in), was completely neutered in this version. It's one thing for a remix to be indistinguishable from or add little to the original, and another for it to actually make it worse. It's just so lifeless by comparison.

That's basically the extent of my review. Of course if the original Snow Goose never existed and this were the original, then it would be a fine album taken as a whole. But I think it's fair game to judge a re-recording in more relative than absolute terms. I'm taking the rating scale very literally here: 2/5, for collectors and fans only. I listened to it once and will never go back.
