  Not with better production but with grittier, hand-made/played production...
   
    I would love to hear the entire "Pandemonium" album re-recorded the same way the 
  "Extremities, Dirt, and Various Repressed Emotions" cd was recorded; it would explode
  right off the cd. 
   
    Having heard Banco De Gaia's synths' sound on "Live at Glastonbury,"** & and having
  heard Underworld, VNV Nation and Dee-Lite live in concert, i know the synth n' bass sounds
  can be recorded "live"-ish a la XADVRE without compromise. 
   
  **and even Underworld's 
     live "Everything Everything"

It would have made a classic double album and a monster single, but I actually like the fact that it has 36 songs--kind of like a long, interesting journey.

      .ExternalClass .EC_hmmessage P  {padding:0px;}  .ExternalClass body.EC_hmmessage  {font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;}    The first one ( "Killing Joke") is the best, with "HA" a close second.  "Nighttime" is acceptable, but the chaotic spell is not as intense.
