It's actually Tanz that I particularly love (though at work I couldn't be bother to see if it was Jim that produced it)! When I said more modern version I didn't mean e.g. Bonnie Tyler - Two Out Of Three... thats just not right imho!
I really like how complete the songs sound, making use of all the stereo capability and the dolby surround etc that some do. E.g. Had Bonnie done Total Eclipse of the Heart to the Totale Finsteris (sp?) production, I'd have thought greater of it. And with Tonight Is What I Means To Be Young the same.
Bat 2 is imho better produced that Bat 1. But a) for it's time, bat is ace! and b) if it had been produced now, would it have been as good. That I don't know.
Bat 3 will be the best produced yet, like CHSIB was a more rounded sound (imho), though I don't know which production I like better as I haven't compared them. New technologies = Potentially Better Production (not guarenteed obviously).
I'm confusing myself. So i'll stop.
