Thanks! It's still a fair wodge but slightly more palatable.. guess we better keep our ears to the ground on any pre-order deals (Amazon maybe..)
cd services in Dundee.
Now THAT is how you write and send a good question. Well done, laddie!
Based on the track listing that we have seen, I think it's plausible that UMe might release CD/DVD versions of "Please Don't Touch" and "Spectral Mornings", with the CDs being the Steven Wilson remixes and the DVDs as above. There definitely should be standalone HFPA Blu-Ray versions of these two titles, and I will enquire about it on HFPA's Facebook page.
I wonder if the DVDs in the box will be "-V" or "-A"..
Here's hoping peterzach's reply from Steve does indeed manage to get universal to release separate cd/dvd or bluray copies.Don't want to jump on board for a box set at that price.And I'd hate to see universal continue with an upcoming Roxy Music box set!!
I'm not a fan of the big stupid boxes stuffed with unwanted stuff.. but I don't have any of these albums on CD so on this occasion I'm in for the big but not stupid box stuffed with things I want! :ugham:
Listened to "Please Don't Touch" all the way through again on the way home from work and dinner tonight, and every time I listen to it, I get more and more excited about hearing it in discrete 5.1 surround!
One thing struck me about it however, and that was how out of place "Hoping Love Will Last" seemed to be in comparison to the rest of the material.
Don't get me wrong. I think it's a great song, and Randy Crawford's vocal on it is stellar, but it just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the songs IMO.
One track that keeps rising up for me is (the appropriately titled) "Icarus Ascending".
The music combined with Richie Havens' vocal is chilling!
Besides anything from Roxy Music, this is now my most anticipated SW surround mix for the remainder of the year! (so far…)

This will be a 10CD+4DVD box set featuring all 6 studio albums, b-sides, plus a wealth of previously unavailable recordings. Over half the content of the box set is previously unreleased. The set was curated and compiled by Mark Powell who also contributes a new essay to the accompanying book drawn from interviews conducted with Steve Hackett. My involvement was to remix Please Don’t Touch and Spectral Mornings in stereo and 5.1 surround sound (please note that due to missing multitrack tapes DVDs 3+4 are upmixes created from the original stereo masters, I did not remix these albums).
CDs 1-4 include the original mixes of the 6 albums that Steve recorded for Charisma Records between 1975-83.
CDs 5-8 feature concert and BBC recordings.
CDs 9-10 includes new stereo mixes of Please Don’t Touch and Spectral Mornings.
