Apparently, something is coming soon. From Facebook and Instagram.

That's the artwork from a no-frills box set of the group's albums:

Maybe a no frills box set of the group's albums all mixed in Dolby Atmos?

I remember getting that box set years ago and regretting it (didn't do my research.) There were a number of APP albums I didn't have and wanted to check out. This one has some of the lowest DR numbers out there for APP stuff; not the worst numbers overall, but still, so many other/better options IMO. I'd recommend keeping your distance on this one folks.

Here's an example from the dr database (if you're into that sort of thing)-

It's just the 2007/2008 remasters without the bonus tracks (and in the case of Tales, without the original mix ). But of course the only place to legally get The Sicilian Defence (which really should be included in a deluxe edition of Eve if that ever happens).

The audio would suggest a remix of Turn, though

I certainly hope so! I'm not holding my breath, though...

Why though? It's been said that either this or I Robot would be next.

It looks good, but I want it in surround! This box set, clearly, is not.

I have no doubt that we will eventually get both albums in 5.1. It just seems to me that this particular video does not portend Turn in 5.1. I think it's more likely to be a vinyl edition of the same box set.

Alas, you are correct. Alan mentioned this in the current issue of eclipsed magazine.

I must admit I find this frustrating. They posted on Facebook TOAFC to be released Spring of 2022. Fall is a approaching and we get this instead.
"And they think it will make their lives easier
For God knows up till now it's been hard"

Looking forward to the release of this one

You know, that song pretty well sums up gambling addictions.

This is about as informative as the last one. I like how KISS simply announces COTN and right away and shows the goods.

“Sooner than you think”?
