Same here. Though not a title to excite some listeners, this is one I'm very curious to hear, and it's getting close to time for pulling out some holiday cheer on vinyl and CD, so why not some surround, too?

A 5.1 Surround SACD with holiday music mixed by Elliot Scheiner... Yes, I'm up for that!
These are the days!
Great big news.
Hopefully AF can bring on interesting new mixes.
E.S. is still my no. 1!

Darcy ruined Within Temptations's Blu ray with compression and limiting! I would not sell her as the best thing since sliced bread. Limiting on a Blu Ray? WTF?
I would love some new ones on titles AF have already done on CD, such as Dio's Holy Diver(I believe owned by Wendy Dio).
That would be incredible!...
And VERY POSSIBLE! I see no reason why AF could not secure the title. Steve Hoffman said Wendy was very helpful last time when he mastered Holy Diver for AF, and she owns Dio's estate.
A title like this would very popular and make it's money back. It would also encourage a few of the SH forum members to convert to 5.1.
This news is absolutely, positively incredible.
None of the 3 titles announced/released so far strike my fancy (I tried), but the mere fact this is happening makes me jump up and down!

Now that is great news indeed!

In all of the excitement, no one has mentioned the unreleased Elton John SACDs.
Those would sell big time, imo.

What SACD's are you thinking of?
Interesting announcement that bodes well for our niche. Given the ELS legacy, this feels rather like the Ford family (DVDA) now building Camaros (SACD).

Maybe but we have plenty of Elton in 5.1. I would prefer a new artist myself.

It's been so long that I don't remember exactly which ones were done had not been released.
At the least, Don't Shoot Me and Caribou would be nice.
For the record, I'd like "new" artists too. All of them!

This is good news indeed. So lets see. We now have Elliot Scheiner, Steven Wilson, Bob Clearmountain and Andy Jackson all competing for our QQ dollars. And these are just the ones that come to mind. The future sure looks bright. Competition can be good.

I'm sure I saw a list somewhere on the forum with all the 'known' unreleased 5.1 mixes, does it exist? I can't find it.
I'd start e-mailing AF asking for stuff from that list first

Seems like AF continues to somewhat underwhelm with this series of releases. Who would admit to looking forward to this one if it wasn't in 5.1?
As for the rest of ES's 5.1 work for more prominent artists, it won't mean much if AF is unable to license the titles.

Do you actually know of an unreleased Steely Dan surround mix?
Never mind the competition. Bring on the quantity!
