Talking 5.1, there is a 5.1 mix of Lost in the Ghost light
‘Yeah, the mix was done by Bruce, he did the 5.1 for Stupid Things That mean the World, which wasn’t released at the time, it was only released as a download for pre-orders, so the 5.1 is available on the new CD/DVD, it will be Bruce’s interpretation of Stevens stereo mix, he was very careful in checking while it was being done. I do have strong opinions on 5.1 in that I like the more musical 5.1 mixes, Steven Wilson’s mixes have always been musical, and liked what he’s done with No-Man. But there’s a 5.1 I don’t like, and it’s gimmicks, it’s effects coming from the different speakers. For me the whole point is to immerse yourself more in the music rather than distract yourself with gimmicks, I guess that’s my modus operandi with 5.1, I want something that’s immersive and musical, rather than something that’s going to take your mind of the music. One of the great examples of an immersive mix is Stevens mix of No Mans Together We’re Stranger, and the guitar work on Things I want to Tell You, just sweeps in a circle around, same with the 5.1 mix on Entangled on Genesis Trick of the tale, it had all of the guitars surrounding you. Whereas I do remember a Depeche Mode 5.1 where the music was great but the 5.1 mix was awful having one particular klaxon synth coming out at 5 times the volume of everything else for no reason.’
