This is the original mix of "Cryptic Writings" with its original cover art. I never thought it needed a remix as it was perfect IMHO.
Not a single bad track here.
This album has not been reissued on vinyl since it came out in 1997 (used copies going for $1500+ here in the US). Hoping for a vinyl reissue.

I hadn’t listened to this album since I bought it when it first came out. I had convinced myself I didn’t like it, but still wanted it in my collection. Well, I played it last night and really enjoyed it! Whether or not it’s a heavy or fast album, it’s a great album in my book.

This was one of my favorite college year albums. The vinyl copy I had turned out to be a counterfeit so I decided to get a recent reissue. I originally got it on cassette when it first come out which I gave away when I moved to CDs. This is an excellent album from start to finish.

Even if I prefer the remix, I'm happy to also own the original mix on CD as it has become difficult to find a new copy of it and my streaming service (YouTube Music) only has the remix version.
