Sweet, glad you guys managed to raid them while they lasted.
"I think those bonus tracks were available for the 30th anniversary as well, unless they are four separate / previously unreleased bonus tracks:"
I see! I thought they were vault material but they are 2013 recordings. Interesting, like a late extension.
Anyway I compared my 30th and 40th downloads and the mastering feels definitely different, I'll keep both around.
The 30th is quieter and still sounds like a product of the 80s, perhaps a little thin but nicely natural and open.
The 40th is noticeably louder in volume, but not in a loudness war sense - the DR measurements are similar to the 30th in fact. I don't know the album enough to say for certain but it feels like Reflections on Suspension has more body here, very satisfying.
Both great!
