Kansas' first five albums are in desperate need of surround treatment. There's just so much interesting stuff going on in the layered arrangements that I can't think of any other music that would benefit more. I wonder why Kansas so rarely gets talked about here, considering so many of us are prog fans. Drummer and manager Phil Ehart has been asked about the possibility of surround mixes several times over the years and he has always been positive about the prospect, but the powers that be (whomever they are) don't seem interested. If they were a British group I'll bet they would get the attention of Steven Wilson, but American prog just doesn't get much love. Something needs to be done about this.
