Thanks, The dirty deed is done, it's ordered:banana:
Of course this gets announced now that I don't have a surround setup... :howl :violin I guess I'll just have to enjoy this vicariously through all of your comments...
JT, Anathema, Sgt. Peppers, a new SW which will certainly be 5.1 - So many great releases coming out, and now way for me to listen to them. I feel like Burgess Meredith in that Twilight Zone episode where he finally gets to read all the books he wants, but then steps on his glasses... :yikes
As incredibly happy as I am right now about Misplaced, the brief moment from "all catalogue will be done" and "Steven Wilson won't do other Fish era albums" had been happier.
Unfortunately I could never manage to appreciate the albums following Fish's departure, so for me Brave is more an occasion to say "why not Script/Fugazi/Clutching". Then, again, maybe somebody capable enough will take care of those. Hopefully in 5.1.
... I'm frankly not crazy about much of the work he's done. I think he butchered the ELP albums, for instance. I wish he would play less with the EQ and effects panel and just focus on channel steering. I often don't care for the way he brings "this forward" and pushes "that back" in the mix. Occasionally I like one or two of his choices, but usually I much prefer the original mixes and often, such as on the ELP releases, prefer to listen to the original stereo mixes in 24/96 using Dolby PL II rather than his 5.1 renditions...
Truth be told, I wouldn't be at all disappointed if somebody else does the mixing of the rest of the early albums. While I'm grateful to SW for putting out all these prog projects in 5.1 that I never would have guessed would see the light of day, I'm frankly not crazy about much of the work he's done.

I'm glad this Misplaced Childhood set will include the remastered original stereo tracks, in case I don't care for what he does with the 5.1 mix. I think Alan Parsons is the absolute best surround mixer on the planet, both for what he has done with his own works, but also the original quad (bootleg) recording of DSOTM, which I regard as the most exquisite piece of surround work I've ever heard. But a big shout out to SW for doing these, which would surely never get done otherwise. I'm looking forward to hearing what he can do with them!
Having grown up with King Crimson Vinyl, I found his KC remixes spectacular on every conceivable level.....perhaps because he worked in close association with Robert Fripp.
