This got a 40th anniversary RSD reissue. I already have the original LP, but it looked pretty and I was able to win an eBay auction at $9.99 for it, so here it is:
don't think it was remastered at all, but this pressing sounds a lot better than the one I have. though that's mostly because it's clean. the bass really pops on it which is good because pretty much everything Todd touches is a tad treble-heavy. anyway I think Side 2 of this might be my single favorite side of any Todd record, even including AWATS. I love that Todd is actually playing the synth bit the whole time. it's such an electronic and futuristic sound (at least it was then) that hearing human touches like randomly double-tapping the triangle are kinda endearing. also I may be 100% wrong on this but it almost sounds like it could've been a big influence on Underworld? I swear some of the same sounds are there. (think Part 2 & "Most 'Ospitable")
