Dead Can Dance on SACD

Into the Labyrinth and Toward the Within are outstanding!
I can't wait for the mailman!

I just completed listening to the SACD layer of "Serpents Egg" on our modest family room system (I don't have a player in my main rig). Moving on to "Into the Labyrinth" next. I have the vinyl and redbook versions of that, so comparisons should be interesting.

Can't wait, Slipknot!!!! Cheers man!

Just got mine today. I wasn't particularly excited about the Japanese paper sleves, but they are actually quite nice. I've spun "Spiritchaser" but haven't done any critical listening (just got in from driving from Omaha to Dallas).

However, I do have a question (which probably should have been asked *before* purchasing...

In the context of these DCD CDs / SACDs, what does "remastering" mean? Specifically, how do these differ from the standard releases?

As much as I love DCD, i hated the packaging, and I'm hoping I'm not the only one, because i'm feeling a bit whiny. Here's why:
What's with the sticky outer sleeve? It gets in the way of putting everything back inside. What gives man?
I ended up taking out all the CDs from their (very meticulous) sleeves and putting them in a disc binder.
The cardboard stuff went into a ziploc baggie.
By the time you put it back into its sleeve, 10 mins. have passed and you're no longer in the mood to listen to another one. too much work.
:( Great music, PITA packaging.
