I was listening to forgiveness and the strings seemed more prominent than usual. Could've been just me..

I haven't gotten that far yet (I had to work and I'm in school now) But WHAT'S UP Poker Face is so epic now *_*;;;; Audience is the best song of my life xD; And Far away+SEASONS are my new favorites xD; SURREAL rules my life and M sounds great! I never heard it with the guitar version so I can't complain about that (I usually listen to M Above & Beyond mix ).

you can finally hear her voice in mirrorcle world clearly.~~ in the first chorus.

EDIT:~ I dont understand why they used album versions of daybreak and fly high, but not the updated version of depend on you~
The A Best version is exactly the same, except new recording, right?~ I wish they chose that one~ her voice sounds better. LOL

I don't mind these versions of those two songs, daybreak and fly high, but I wish they chose A Best album version of depend on you too. LOL

ok, after read you guys' comment about Audience and Mirrorcle World, I listen to them side by side with the original.

Avex did a GREAT job remastering these tracks. they sound so SHARP, reNEW and crystal CLEAR. ^^v Ayu's vocal stands out a lot. no blurry instruments sound at all.

will try to listen to the whole A COMPLETE when my copy arrives with my sound system

I'm glad they used the album version of some of the tracks like kanariya and Daybreak.

Like everyone else, I'm extremely upset about the issue with M I can't believe the guitar solo is out and the boring bridge in...I was like bleh, what kinda lead-up to the climax of the song sounds like this, imo it's very ********Y!!!

It's a shame to hear that the guitar solo from M seems to be missing (haven't downloaded the MP3's yet, waiting for my copy to arrive) but it's not the end of the world if you have the original on CD aswell

when I read about the guitars missing on M I got pretty mad, but actualy now hearing the song with out them is not bad at all, still sounds like it could be an error of someone not adding them but is not that bad.

also, FLY HIGH, KANARIYA and Daybreak were chosen from the albums cause those are the original versions, the others are remixes.

I'm glad they added the original version of kanariya, is really pretty I've always liked it.

and yep they sound more clear, and you canlisten to every arrangement ever made, I'm lovin' it, specially the first singles.

are people discovering this from downloading the songs or from copied they have bought?

Also its possible like someone said - that the DVD copy has some tiny differences - like an extra little qwerk

I'm discovering it on the ones I bought. The only real MAJOR change is the missing guitar in M, everything else is little nuances that make the experience even better.

I just listened to half of A COMPLETE and there are definitely differences. I especially noticed differences in M.

I guess Whatever has really changed and it's better than previous versions. Her voice is A LOT better.

I have no idea for M . Kinda odd without Guitar solo .

the "new" M from AC~AS~ sounds to me like the mix from that TV concert on MTV from 2001, and I like that live.

Don't be. It actually sounds nice even without the guitar. Give it a couple listens and it'll grow on you.

But still doesn't make sense why they would take it out.

I say just skip it and listen to the original version. There's no real good point to have it 'grow' on us really.

It actually makes it a little more mellow, so I think the sadness is pushed a little more than the original. Without the guitar, it felt a lot more lonely (which is a good thing for the song's lyrics).

It's a (great) surprise, and brings a pretty new perspective to the song.
