This is one I'd been dreaming of and it's finally coming true. Squeeee indeed!
Classic French Canadian Prog Rock band Harmonium's L'heptade is getting the deluxe treatment which includes a new 5.1 mix of the top selling double album. I'm assuming that this will be a DVD-V so is why it's in this section. I'll only be happier if this is indeed a DVD-A. It's a double album of beautiful mellow pop/folk rock with symphonic arrangements.
I'm glad to report than on top of the mega box set, there is a 2 CD + 1 DVD set that will be released on November 18. You can pre-order here.
Wikipedia describes the album like this:
Prog Archives adds:
Fans of Supertramp and more Folk oriented Rock bands will need this in their collection. As a French Canadian, this is as big a news as if Crime Of The Century was getting the 5.1 treatment.
Here's an example of the music found on this lovely album:

Should some of you decide to go for the mega set (it'll be quite nice actually) here is the pre-order page.

Wikipedia describes the album like this:
The third album, L'Heptade, was released in 1976 after months of recording in Serge Fiori's own house. The songs describe seven stages of consciousness in a person's day or life.[4] The first and the last songs are named "Comme un fou" and "Comme un sage", indicating a progression towards wisdom; from fool to a sage.
Prog Archives adds:
With "L'Heptade", they reached their symphonic/progressive zenith. In addition to the now increasingly large band, classical instruments and mellotron are used throughout. This elegant double album is a testament to the potential of the genre. Both are really satisfying; if you are a confirmed proggy-prog band head,to begin with.
