Upon more analysis, these files are basically mono and that's the main reason for the quality disparity people are noticing. There appears to be two channels in the source oggs, but they're basically the same which effecively results in mono output. This would suggest to me the issue is the samples Jordan used after all: mostly mono and he made no use of pan in his mix.
Hey again qubodup - in the possibility that Jordan accidentally output these files in mono, can you ask him about it? Can he provide us with stereo versions? Ideally, with the same license.
Thanks for sharing all this fantastic work! @kagerato - I'm not so sure it's the source samples that's the issue, as it sounds more like there's an EQ doing an unbias crop which could even be on the output. Nothing a little remastering couldn't fix if Jordan wishes.
Hitctrl, it's been a while and good to hear from you! Yeah, at it's core this tune is a super trick; when I have time, I'd like to do a lot more with it. All the best!
Love the bizarre origin story. Maybe you should do that more often? At least you know that if you're possessed at midnight, it's by some lovely spirit shining some pretty holy light! x-D
Someday I want to polish that one and release a complete bundle of remastered stuff. It made my day, - my week, the idea that that music encouraged your work. All the best.
Heck yes you can!
qubodup - can you share the clarification you got via email that this work is CC-BY?
Update: Talked with MedicineStorm about this and the community will take your word for it. Thanks for the submission!

My oh my. What a fantastic piece!
Jesus, the colors are beautiful. And so is the detail work! Wow, thank you!

A fine set from which many a map will grow that's not just visually appealing, but also intenlligently crafted.
