Dead Can Dance reissues - not happy


I recently purchased Into the Labyrinth, the Debut, and Towards the Within based on positive feedback.  Well, I am very disappointed in the sound quality.  It sounds forced, bright, and, well frankly, overdone.  Is the MOFI like this or should i just get the originals for a few more bucks?

My MoFi releases sound great (I have very low serial numbers). However, I am partial to the MoFi digital remasters on hybrid CD/SACD (played through my Ayre CX-7e mp). The Redbook layer is stellar. I’ll pull out the box set vinyl copies in the morning for a comparison. 
This comment has nothing to do with the latest reissues, but with the DCD Volume 1 (black) box set...

Try listening to the instrumental track on the 19.11.1983 John Peel Sessions disk at 33 1/3 rather than 45 RPM. I like it better at the slower speed.
