Well, I've always been a big fan of the original, and I view TB2003 quite independently from it actually. I knew I would from the first time I heard Mike was re-doing TB; I knew that whatever it would turn out, it would never replace the original, for me or anyone. However, I have to say it turned out much better than I had expected. Some things in it are truly awful, such as the drums in Finale. Other sections I really like, as Mike pieces as such, not in comparison to the original. I think TB2003, if anything, is closer to Mike's 80s instrumentals than to anything he did in the 70s (or 90s actually). All in all, I simply take it as a pretty good Mike album, not the best but by no means the worst. (That said, I only listened to it perhaps twelve times so far.)
