Not to be a dope, so what does this all mean concerning the audio? Will the Blu sound better than the DVD?
Lossless DTS-HDMA and PCM on the BDV. Lossy DTS Core on the DVDV.
Nothing yet on sampling. Probably 48kHz but maybe 96kHz.

”A new edition of Porcupine Tree's first concert film "Arriving Somewhere" will be released by Kscope as a 3 disc Blu-Ray / 2 CD combo on 23rd March. Filmed across 2 nights in Chicago and originally issued as a double DVD set in 2006, Arriving Somewhere wasn't shot in high-definition so the transfer to blu-ray here is more for convenience, containing as it does all the contents from both DVDs. Contrary to record company promotion which claims I have remastered it, the audio uses the original Darcy Proper master for both the stereo and 5.1 (which sounds great, Darcy did a great job in 2006). The main changes are that for the first time the concert audio has been included on 2 CDs, and the cover image has been revised. The release coincides with the forthcoming vinyl reissues of 2 of the Porcupine Tree's signature albums In Absentia (2002) and Deadwing (2005), from which a lot of the repertoire in the concert film is taken.”

It will due to the lossless audio on the Blu-ray compared to the DVD, as others already have mentioned.Not to be a dope, so what does this all mean concerning the audio? Will the Blu sound better than the DVD?
Given his busy schedule (touring To The Bone), I kind of doubt we'll be getting new SW 5.1 mixes. What we will undoubtedly get are properly mastered versions of the stereo mixes and the ES 5.1 mixes without glitches (the maligned phase issues). But one can always dream... We had better get all the B sides, too!
Well, of course he has remastered the stereo mixes. The old masters have been a huge thorn in his side for about ten years, now. But no mention of remixes, to me, suggests that there will be none.Listen to the latest kscope podcast #94 at about 18.10, it is stated that In Absentia and Deadwing "have been painstakingly remastered by that man...Steven Wilson". Kscope have acquired the rights so I'm hoping this translates into new 5.1 mixes too.
How is the sound? Merci.So, one year later! Arriving Somewhere has finally arrived here.
I just received a shipping notice from Amazon that says “On the way - Arriving Somewhere “. You’d think they could be a little more specific.

Ta-Ta-Tum....
Does this mean the team dissolved, or you guys just continue this year when there is new material to test?I'm so glad to finally get a proper copy of this on Blu-Ray.
This was the last release that myself and a few other QQ members helped to test for Neil Wilkes last year, so it's good to finally see it out there for all of you to enjoy!
