If I'm not mistaken, the other two SD quad albums were also done by Eliot and are available.SD is sure as heck up MY alley!
Way up it.
Any further Steely multichannel releases, be they SACD or Blu-ray, either classic Quad mixes or newer, unreleased 5.1, would be highly exciting and enjoyable to me.
this is all just based on supposition and heresay etc but fwiw..If I'm not mistaken, the other two SD quad albums were also done by Eliot and are available.
And then there are the rest of the other Elton John 5.1s that were never released.
this is all just based on supposition and heresay etc but fwiw..
the vintage Quads of "Can't Buy A Thrill" and "Countdown To Ecstasy" were said to have been mixed by Roger Nichols himself. a "long held" view is that the Quad Masters are no longer held in the vaults but nobody really knows for sure.
the story goes that Elliot Scheiner started re-mixing "Aja" in Surround sometime around 1998/1999 but the process was abandoned when the multi's for "Black Cow" and the title track could not be located at the time. the multi's for the former have allegedly since been found, no idea about the latter.
Mr. Scheiner subsequently supposedly pulled all the Steely Dan multitrack masters available at the time, although it's been suggested he completed a 5.1 mix of the "Pretzel Logic" album only and that it was prepared for a standalone Hybrid MultiCh SACD release circa 2004 that never happened.
curiously, for any followers of Michael Fremer's Tracking Angle YouTube channel, in his latest video he visits Universal's tape storage facility at Iron Mountain and at one point two large tape boxes said to contain the multitrack tapes for "Aja" are sat out on a trolly. according to some off camera comments they were apparently recently pulled for a project..
Here's the video cued up to the point where multis for "Aja" and "Royal Scam" appear. (The context is that they're looking at a shelf full of "incoming/outgoing" stuff that has recently been requested by labels for various projects. The off-camera comments you referred to are around 1:10:20, I think? But the IM guy mentions a vinyl project; it's Fremer himself who implicitly corrects him, pointing out that they wouldn't need multis for a vinyl reissue. And then somebody--maybe not the same guy as before?--says something about "could be for Atmos"....)for any followers of Michael Fremer's Tracking Angle YouTube channel, in his latest video he visits Universal's tape storage facility at Iron Mountain and at one point two large tape boxes said to contain the multitrack tapes for "Aja" are sat out on a trolly. according to some off camera comments they were apparently recently pulled for a project..
