Yes, I know about that one, but I think I'll keep the first post list to just studio releases and not worry about the live ones for now, cause otherwise I could also add the Genesis Live Box (with Genesis Live, Seconds Out, and Live at the Rainbow)

[skindzier]

Since you're tracking different formats, you may (or may not) want to add the Moodies' DTS CD releases (Days of Future Passed, Seventh Sojourn)

 

[fredblue]

maaayyyybeee some Ten Years After?

 

[fredblue]

I don't know if Super Furry Animals
or Flaming Lips are anywhere near approaching prog?

what about the BD-A of Storm Corrosion?

Mike Oldfield!?

or any of the Kraut rock stuff (Can? Kraftwerk?)..!?

any Alan Parsons solo surround?!

..maybe I'm off the mark with any/all of that!?

I'm not good at pigeon-holing music, I'm open to all forms of it! even if I prefer certain genres to others!?! @:

Mike Oldfield? Yes, that would work.
Same with Alan Parsons.

 

[Neil Palfreyman]

Although I don't do genres and other un-necessary pidgeon holing, I'm a big fan of music that's usually described as "Prog"

I would include in that list:

Pete Gabriel - Up
Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds
Moody Blues - the five SACDs
Mike Oldfield
Queen - A Night at the Opera
Porcupine Tree (unless they're too recent to be considered "CLASSIC")
RPWL - Stock, World Through my Eyes (unless they're too recent to be considered "CLASSIC")
Magenta - Seven. Metamorphosis, Chameleon (unless they're too recent to be considered "CLASSIC")
Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos (unless they're too recent to be considered "CLASSIC")

Dont forget Quatermass/Quatermass in the "coming" category.

Great idea for a list btw!

ps you say "Benefit & A Passion Play Coming..." but according to SW theer is some doubt as to when/if these mixes will ever see light of day

which of their respective albums in surround would you choose to add to your list, RT?

ah yes! Good call! the Quatermass! glad I got my preorder in when I did, I see its gone up from approx £10 to £14! :yikes

re: the other SW Tull's, 'glass half empty me' says "wouldn't be the first time surround mixes in the can never make it out into the wild".. while 'glass half full me' reckons there's always a chance (HOPE SO!!!!)

I noticed the EMI/Cherry Red connection on the Hawkwind SW release.. it's a shame Cherry Red can't get their hands on the Tull back catalogue!

One black mark against Cherry Red.. (sorry for going OT but its related at least!) in the last couple of years they have released deluxe/anniversary sets of so many soul albums where there are quad mixes (O'Jays "Ship Ahoy", "360 Degrees of Billy Paul", Isley Brothers "Harvest For The World" & "Go For Your Guns") and not taken the opportunity to release the quad mixes. I doubt these albums will see physical release again so.. "That's All Folks!"

...the biggest travesty is that Cherry Red/Esoteric/AtomHenge (all the same people) have re-issued most of the Hawkwind back catalogue in the laster few years. Most if not all of them would have been incredible in surround, particulalry "Levitation." I'm guessing that the only reason "Warrior" got the treatment is because it's one of Mark Powell's favorite albums. I've e-mailed Vicky (Marks other half, works in marketing for Esoteric) many times asking her about surround. To be fair they're only a small outfit and getting a surround mix represents a big investment for them. I hope having to re-press the deluxe edition of Warrior has helped them "see the light" but e-mails of support won't do any harm!

btw - this is not off topic 'cos Hawkwind are "Prog!" ...at least to my ears

 

[Ranasakawa]

Scary I have a great deal of those Prog Quad/5.1 discs except for Yes and Moody Blues, the Yes stuff was impossible ti find.

 

[capsid]

There is the recent Squackett album (DTS) by Steve Hackett and Chris Squire who are form the classic prog mould.

Forgot about that one completely despite having it. Maybe it's because the mix and content is quite frankly forgettable?

...but that also reminds me that Chris Squire has stated in a recent interview that "Fish Out of Water" is being re-mixed in 5.1 so you can add that to the "coming soon..." category.

 

[DuncanS]

I've all of them listed so far! What about if we're only considering the stuff from the 70s,

Colosseum - The Best Of (5.1 DVD-Audio)
Deep Purple - Concerto For Group And Orchestra (5.1 DVD-Audio)
Electric Light Orchestra - Electric Light Orchestra (CD & 4.1 DTS/DD DVD)
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon (Hybrid 5.1 SACD)
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (5.1 Hybrid-SACD)
Santana - Abraxas (DVD-Audio 5.1 DTS only)
Steely Dan - Gaucho (Hybrid 5.1 SACD)
Toto - Toto IV (5.1 SACD)
Uriah Heep - Magic Night (5.1 Hybrid-SACD)
Frank Zappa - Halloween (5.1 DVD-Audio)
Frank Zappa - QuAUDIOPHILIAc (5.1 DVD-Audio)

 

[DuncanS]

And Hawkwind - Space Ritual...

I really want this done in true surround, the edition I have is the so called up-mix.
