I'm on the fence about the ITM remix - the original album was such a beloved album to me that I played so many hundreds (thousands?) of times it's hard for me to reconsider what I consider to already be at times a masterwork.
The one thing that I don't love about the remix is how most of the background vocals/harmonies are turned way down in the mix. I loved the blend of the background singers with Christine.
I did notice completely different vocals at the end of "Bad Journey" which was cool. I'll keep listening - it might just be a matter of my ears being so used to the way I'm used to it.

I agree. I generally dont like remixes. Things are turned down. The best remix ever was Chris Lord Alge's remix of Stevie's songs on Timespace. To this day its the most profound remix I ever heard of every song. He totally transformed Edge of 17 and removed the chorus echco/playback which was so cool. Its the mainstay of what you hear today. For kicks, its fun to hear the original Edge of 17.
But I am so thirsty for anything Chris and bought her Songbird CD with remixes. However they were not just remixes. The producer added new musical parts which is both good and bad.
