Which albums would you like to hear in 5.1 surround?

[edisonbaggins]

Rush-Hemispheres and after

How far after!? I honestly like all Rush albums, but think some filler arises around Hold Your Fire. IMO, Rush albums are strongest when constrained to LP length.
Going back before Hemi, with all the layering and the buried narratives on the stereo mixes, I'd love to hear Caress of Steel in hi-res surround.
You get Rush at their lightest, "Panacea" and at their heaviest, "In the Tower." Very Zepellinesque with some prog too. A very cool, but weird record.

I consider myself most fortunate that, being a lifelong fan of progressive, many of my "most wanted" mixes have already been done.

However, top of my "still to do" list would have to be "Green" by Steve Hillage. Such a missed opportunity not including any surround at all in the recent re-issue of his back catalogue.

 

[Frogmort]

My first choice would be Mr. Bungle, but I'd love to have some Faith No More in surround.

Green is a great choice! Any of the Gong Teapot Trilogy would be delicious too!

I may have missed it, but does anyone yearn for some Supertramp? Crime would be wonderful.

This one actually has exists in quad and it's a very good mix. A proper reissue would be cool, but I wouldn't prioritize it because it did come out on reel and the current reel conversion sounds excellent.

True! It's a crime that Crime of the Century has never had a surround mix release!

Green is a great choice! Any of the Gong Teapot Trilogy would be delicious too!

Fingers crossed for Gong. Someone from the Gong appreciation society has posted a couple of messages on their website in the last couple of months, regarding upcoming official (band endorsed) reissues of the Trilogy:

https://www.planetgong.co.uk/outland/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1285

What to expect in 2018?

With continuing fair winds most probably this:-

A 4LP box-set with booklet
A 3CD/1DVD ear-book set.
A 2CD set with a limited single LP highlights version
A 15 CD Boxset with book and possibly stuff...

...and then 2019 is Gong's 50th anniversary...

If I said more I would have to kill you and then it wouldn't all get done.

And another, earlier this week:

We have HHH&G (Howlett, Hillage, Heyworth and Greene) working on it - right now.

Mike Howlett (bass) and Steve Hillage (guitar) were of course in Gong. Simon Heyworth was Gong (and Mike Oldfield's) engineer, and was I think responsible for the Anthony Phillips surround mixes, and recent King Crimson reissues.

So if the DVD in the ear-book set includes Simon Heyworth surround mixes, then life would be wonderful

 

[Lute]

My list could be a mile long!

A few mentioned already:
Yes - Going for the One
Pink Floyd - Animals

And now those that come into my head at this moment:
He Said - Take Care
The Stranglers - The Raven, Feline, B&W
Roxy Music - FYP, Stranded, Siren, Viva (expanded version please)
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love, Sensual World
Barry Adamson - Soul Murder, or maybe I Will Set You Free
Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts, Still Life
The Cure - Disintegration, Bloodflowers, Faith, Pornography
Cocteau Twins
Hawkwind
Slowdive (any and all!)

The other day I was listening to My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" and wondered what a proper surround mix could do with the blurred wall of sound of this classic and other Dream Pop/Shoegazing albums. It could be pretty cool with all the vocals and instruments morphing in & out... around the room.
