However it falls short of the original with respect to musical depth and layering. The original has clearly delineated musical tracks which can be followed independently. This depth and complexity gives the recording an intensity and clarity lacking in the remixed version. The same is true with AoxomoxoA. For example the song What's Become Of The Baby is a miss-mash of garble on the remix, but is a psychodelic dream of clarity in the original. Also, the remixed version of both albums is missing entire pieces of music that appears on the original. Missing from Anthem is the central piece of electronic music just before the mellow part that is sung by Weir that goes "Last leaf falling...". And the a capella ending to Doing That Rag is missing.
