And this mix does not. Not to mention there's stereoized spangles. We all love spangles.

Right on all counts. It's a little surprising that MArk doesn't realize what makes the themes sound so good is that slight analog compression and artifacts that come from doing things on tape back in the good old days. With both the Derbyshire and Howell themes, he's made them too clean, to the point where they're lifeless—almost sterile. Sadly it's something I don't think he'll ever learn, and it's why "remastered" versions of the themes will never (and should never) replace the originals.

I did start a project like this way back in 2008, doing the Derbyshire theme in stereo element-by-element, but it never made it very far. You can hear what I ended up with here:
