Hi res lossless only, unfortunately for us.
Here's a video of I Still Have Faith In You, mostly photos and video when they were younger. But the last minute or two, it shows them as young still singing the new song. Not sure if this would be what a virtual concert would look like. Their choice to do it this way I guess, but I'll take what I can get.
Sadly, no plans to release a surround version.
Don't count on it. I emailed their engineer, Michael B. Tretow, about the possibility of surround mixes of ABBA's albums being done, and he was very adamant that it won't happen. He explained that he, Bjorn, and Benny worked very hard to create the sound that we hear on the albums, and that B&B are absolutely NOT interested in remixing in surround. There already exists a box set that has all their studio albums, remastered, and a disc of bonus tracks The set, "ABBA- The Albums". is quite good. I doubt they'd be interested in doing even hybrid stereo SACD's; when I asked about it, he didn't say.
We can only hope!
The later albums do better through the Surround Master than some of the tracks on the older ones. One track that sounds particularly good is "Should I Laugh Or Cry", which is on the Bonus Tracks disc.
Well, why can the Spice Girls go Atmos and ABBA can't, right?
WOW! (Also palindromatic.)
You'd have to ask Michael B. Tretow, their audio engineer. He's the one who almost seemed put out by my asking if surround mixes of their albums could be made available at some time. According to him, he, Benny, and Bjorn are dead set against it. I wouldn't count on "Voyage" being released in anything but stereo.
