Is this thread still about the new 5.1 release of APP’s Eye in the sky?
Sorry about my question out of place, just post it again on the right thread.

I was reading an article on a topic unrelated to music where the author mentions the name Elmer Gantry. I said to myself, hmmmmmm, isn't he one of the vocalists on the Eye In The Sky album? So I Googled the name and came up with this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elmer_Gantry
So my question: Is this Elmer Gantry on Eye In The Sky a real person, or is it just tongue-in-cheek humor by the Alan Parson's Project? I would surmise the latter; but if so, then who is this person singing this track adopting the alias of Elmer Gantry?
(Silly, humorous answers welcome.)

It was a stage named adopted by singer Dave Terry back in the 1960s. He first performed with Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera and then with the band Stretch.
That's the real name of the person who sings on "Psychobabble" and also "May Be a Price to Pay" on "The Turn of a Friendly Card"

Great news! Hopefully this encourages Alan to get on with mixing more APP albums in surround. Bring on I Robot, Pyramid & Turn of a Friendly Card!
All congrats to Parsons.
Next project; I Robot fo sho!

I'm with you on that one, my favourite AP release.
Is this a first? Has a rock/pop album ever won for best surround album?! Fantastic! Time to listen again
(I hope he sell's a lot more copies, too)

Yes, there have been several including Dire Straits, The Beatles, Donald Fagen and Roger Waters. Here is the full list.
Nice, thanks for posting that link. I'd say, it's a decent list.
Though.....never Steven Wilson as a winner....which is mind-numbing.

Gene, doubtful Steve Wilson as a remix engineer is a 'household" name among Grammy voters as he is on QQ Forum. Hopefully, one day [and soon] he'll get his due.
I wonder irf Steven Wilson submits his work for nominations? He may not desire that status. Just my curiousity peaking through. He definitely deserves it compared to some of the stuff that I wouldn't think twice about at the awards over the last couple decades..

There was another thread where we list our "Top 5" for the year and I forgot about this great recording. It should have been on the list as it is a top notch mix.

Congrats to AP. I hope this in some small degree can increase a bit of interest and sales. That stand alone blu ray is a GREAT deal. Worth the price for "Silence and I" alone.
Wouldn't it a complete Alan Parsons Project catalog look awfully cool as stand alone Blu Rays?

I am glad that Mr. Parsons won this award. I am intrigued by the category title. Immersive Audio is a term I have not heard before, but definitely works, whether you listen to music in 3 channel or more than I can imagine, music should be immersive, as well as inclusive.
it is a great name! pretty sure the name of the category was changed last year, to reflect new surround technology, the Atmos stuff etc.
