Probably the 192, but i'd go with the remasters as they incorporate both.

I don't know how remastering works but those remasters are said to originate from the mp3's. If that's the case, was any audio information lost in the remastering process? For instance by removing hiss, didn't they also remove musical bits? Was the remastering just an artificial version of the song or did it legitimately improve the quality?

I've got a few copies of different levels of quality that I've never taken the time to sort through, but you're welcome to all. Only catch is it's a 700mb rar.

Funny you asked about it, I've got a question in the same kind of spirit for yall: what's your take on discussing R35TT? I've sorta got mixed feelings. The 'mystery' has held me for a long time, and I've done digging off and on along the way. I've gotten to a point where I've sort of narrowed down possibilities about its origins, and I'd like some fresh eyes/ideas at some point, but the idea of talking about the topic sometimes makes me feel like it's something the guys might prefer not be done. If you feel like it's not off-limits, what do you think is the best form for it to take (this thread, a new one or old sorta-related one, bocpages discussion (kinda dead), somewhere else)?

Now familiar stuff to anyone taking an interest in the world over the past decade, but it's compelling viewing anyway, someone who has essentially sacrificed himself to his obsession and you end up thinking, if he's even half right, we're completely fucked. He talks about why we're screwed and what you can do about it after the collapse.
Sadly, now rendered poignant by the fact that he killed himself in April this year.
Anyway, mentioned it on this thread because I'd speculate that it's almost certainly an influence on Tomorrow's Harvest.
Reminded me of the books Endgame parts 1 and 2 by Derrick Jensen and documentary 'What a Way to Go - Life at the End of Empire (which Jensen appears in), which preceded Collapse and touches on the same topics. Both of which I thoroughly recommend, by the way.
I wondered at the time of TH's release if Endgame was an influence as well.
