About a week ago I was contacted by an old friend of mine, Max Read, who's the engineer at The Lodge studio and also a key member of the band "The Enid" and asked if I would like to play test a track off of "The Bridge" album which he was remixing in 5.1.
I jumped at the chance and this is the end result:

"The Bridge" available in it's entirety in 24/96 multi-channel flac. It's a fully discrete, immensely powerful surround mix that also has huge dynamic range. Max is extremely proud of it and rightly so!
I knew The Enid were thinking of releasing some of their back catalogue in 5.1 years ago but, to be honest, I thought the project had been shelved so to get to help with this and see it come out sounding so incredible in such a short space of time is quite astonishing.
For those that don't know of The Enid they are a quite unique band, formed way back in 1974 with some seventeen studio albums to their name. Their music was a mostly instrumental hybrid of Prog and Classical but more recent releases, including "The Bridge" have the immensely powerful vocals of Joe Payne (voted Prog Rock "best vocalist" for two years running) who's like a blend of Matt Bellamy and Freddie Mercury with some opera thrown in for good measure (I kid you not.)
Their music is huge, powerful, bombastic, emotional and dynamic. Perfect for 5.1! :banana:
