As mentioned by Simon in another thread, Riverside will release their first 5.1 in 2016.

From their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Riversidepl/



It is not clear if this is a studio or live release but either way it is a nice announcement. Obviously the dear of Piotr Grudzinksi will change the way of things to come. But a 5.1 release of Reality Dream trilogy would be a great tribute to the guitarist.

Whan the Riverside studio album(s) will be released in 5.1 hopefully the , lack of, dynamic range will be tackled as well. This music could do with great dynamics.

For those unaware, Riverside is a prog rockband from Poland and one of the best on the current scene, IMO.

I hope Bruce is not doing this one! He will butcher it like the others he has done.

That live dvd is fantastic even in stereo, surround would be fantastic as you said.

Robert van Diggele said:

yes, the live dvd is great. If they would release in 5.1 it would be verynice.

Althought I was actually thinking of the first three studio albums that make up the Reality Dream trilogy.

Bruce is a very competent audio engineer (not to mention a thoroughly nice guy) and I have enjoyed just about all of his releases to date.

Can you please explain exactly what you think you're going to achieve by openly and repeatedly attacking him? I'm all for free speech and all that, but enough is enough. There are clearly plenty of others here who agree that his work is good and would sooner have him mixing in surround than not. Best case you're repeatedly insulting a very nice guy who's doing a superb job in bringing more surround mixes to market. Worst case you could end up discouraging him from doing it.

Give the guy a break. If you don't like his work, don't buy it: No-one is forcing you to, but please stop these pointless and petty minded attacks.

This picture was taken just before the last gig of the "Love, Fear and the Time Machine Tour 2015" in Stodola club in Warsaw. And this is exactly how we feel - bereft. It's been a month since Piotr passed away and we know that many of you are wondering about our future and our plans.
In our statement we wrote that we had decided to cancel all concerts confirmed for this year and that hasn't changed, Riverside won't play any gigs this year. But we are going ahead with our other plans for 2016.
Many months ago, before Piotr died, we made a plan to release one of our albums in 5.1 in the late spring/early summer of 2016 and a compilation of our instrumental tracks in the autumn of 2016. We also have individual plans and guest appearances with other musicians. Our biography has been in the making for over two years and it will be published towards the end of this year – we just didn't expect that it would contain an additional chapter and that its character would change.
We’ve always been like a family, we have stuck together and always taken care of that bond both on and off the stage. We have also said many times that we have the best fans in the whole world. Our band wouldn't exist without you, without your commitment and all the emotional links that have been created between us over the years. Your reactions and support we have received from you have surpassed our most daring expectations. We'd like to thank you for that from the bottom of our hearts.
Will Riverside survive? We'll do everything to keep it alive. For in this world full of cynicism and hypocrisy, constant instability and changes quicker than our thoughts, we'd like to create something solid and meaningful that's based on the most important values. We would like to create it with you and for you because, as it turns out, our family is much, much bigger.

I have attacked nobody. I have made no personal insults.

Except that most people who work as passionately in the music industry as Bruce does, rightly or wrongly, will take any attack or perceived insult to their work very personally indeed. I know Bruce has in this case. I guess I'm just asking that you be a little more considerate in what you say and how you say it. Believe me; we're all after the same end result.
