Yes, I am skeptical that the latest remasters in 2-ch stereo can be much better than prior CD releases.

I'll probably pick one up at some point and investigate further.
I have purchased these all as SACD that he was involved with. They are better than the original but not all that great. Unfortuneatly the Moody Blues we recorded on 4 track tapes. I have bought just about every pressing or release they have ever made. I was excited to see that they would offer a 5.1 surround sound of their songs on these SACD's as well. But how do get an effective 5.1 out of 4 track tapes? I would say they are worth the investment if you are a Moddy Blues fan. I doubt MFSL will re-do any of the albums they had already done in the pre-Music Direct days.
I have the older remasters and these are not bad.

I did a review here on agon of that version of "Question of balance" compared to original vinyl and preferred the CD by a small margin.

HAven't heard the newer ones that I think were released towards the end of last year. They are remastered primarily for surround sound I think, of which I do not partake.

I'd be curious if there is any clear improvement with two channel playback if anyone knows.
