Some of the new stereo mixes are beginning to appear on YouTube
Killer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju0lPrzKLEI
Basing my comments on my memory of the original (which coincidentally I heard yesterday), I can't hear any glaring differences. To me it sounds like one organ part (far right) is slightly louder than it used to be, whereas the oscillator solo (the first part of the instrumental section) sounds slightly quieter and thus loses some of its menace. The last few seconds sound slightly different, but apart from that, it's the Killer that you all know and love.

The opening has high saxophone sounds over the bass and drums, before the 'real' saxophone enters. This is distracting and I don't think it adds anything. As this is a very sparse recording, I can't imagine why it needs to be remixed. The mix between saxophones at the end sounds slightly different but I wouldn't swear to it. At the very end appear some tones - normally I would say that these come from something like a xylophone or marimba, but I don't recognise the timbre - that don't exactly add anything. This reminds me slightly of the very end of 'Lost' with the part that continually loses beats.
To my ears, these mixes don't reveal anything new of value.
