From what I can tell, the remastered remix of Streetcleaner isn't much different than the original. I fancy the bass sounds slightly less crunchy, but that could just be my imagination
As for the bells and whistles that come along with it, they're all right. The "extended liner notes" aren't really that extended at all, they just include an essay about how great and influential Streetcleaner is and all that.
The disk of bonus material is pretty cool, it has a few "original unreleased" mixes that sound similar to the versions that made it into the album, except with much less bass presence. The highlights of the disk are the two live tracks and rehearsal demos, since Justin Broadrick's guitar playing with Godflesh involved lots of improvisation with harmonics and feedback, and they all sound different than the album versions. The 12-minute version of 'Pulp' is particularly epic
All said and done, I'd say that the Streetcleaner remaster is absolutely worth getting if you don't already have a hard copy of the album (which I for one didn't 'til I got it). If you already do I'd say it's not necessary, unless you are big on Godflesh completion-ism
In unrelated news, yesterday I found a used record store right by the university campus and promptly bought Red Medicine by Fugazi, The S.V.E.S.T. side of the S.V.E.S.T. - Deathspell Omega split, and Nespithe by Demilich all for 14 dollars. It was a good day
