Biggest single surround release?

[LuvMyQuad]

But if those 28 disks are CDs, that's probably only one or two Blue rays.

If my understanding is correct, we aren't guessing at anything where there are a lot of disks, but there is a lot of content on each disk. That leads one to think a collection of live material. The first thing that comes to mind for me is a Grateful Dead set.

Maybe a Springsteen set even

IN TIME ... ALL SHALL BE REVEALED.....AND PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW!

 

[4-earredwonder]

My Guess: Yusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens A&M Recordings remixed in Dolby Atmos/5.1

with a special shout out to Neil: TEA FOR THE PALFREYMAN!

 

[beerking]

I reckon it's a band from this side of the pond.

As an example: Fripp and Co do have a lot of music either already released, or sitting in their vaults.

Not sure that Atmos is included.

I Don't think Neil has an Atmos speaker set up, for testing.

Ooh the excitement...he is such a tease

 

[HomerJAU]

I’m hoping ‘big’ also means a very well known artist, not just number of discs/tracks/play time.

 

[JonUrban]

Oh My! Something to look forward to

 

[The Pink Floyd]

I'm throwing my guess in:

A box set of all Cheech & Chong albums in 5.1 DTS MA and Dolby Atmos.

Ear Ache My Eye! That would be epic...

 

[cbmmm3]

well, since we are going for 'way out there ' -------how about the complete Gerry Rafferty catalog ?.................( Vocalion, you listening ? )

 

[HomerJAU]

Kate Bush is my pick, but I’d love Led Zepp, Bowie or Supertramp if I could choose.

 

[Jeffrey Michael]

I bet this band or Artist will be from the UK and be very well known. I would hope it’s Zeppelin but I won’t hold my breath. The following is a list of who it might be.

1) Led Zeppelin
2) AC/DC
3) Eurythmics
4) Elton John (Dolby Atmos only)
5) Elvis Costello
6) Eric Clapton
7) New Order
8) Kate Bush (Naaaah!)
9) The Who
10) The Kinks
11) Phil Collins
12) Queen
13) The Smiths
14) U2

I'd second the wish for Zep. That would be the release of the decade (for me at least). However that part about, "a substantial quantity of unreleased stuff", probably rules Zep out. They were really scraping the bottom of the barrel just to augment their deluxe packages.

I would just like to know how excited we should be. Like is it an artist that's in the HOF or had a number 1 album?

Led Zep would be THE

Word is Led Zep asked Jason Bonham to no longer use "The Led Zeppelin Experience".

What's up Pagey's sleeve?

Dont' tease me. IF someone would release a box set of AC/CD albums from Scott era...mixed in surround. I would honestly likely die of heart failure and never get to hear them.

 

[GOS]

Can you imagine "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" in an immersive style surround mix...from say...you know...Scheiner. OMG.....freaking epic....obviously Wilson could do some damage too....but I'm afraid he'd go nuts on the vocals in center channel.

2) AC/DC

Agreed, but AC/DC are Australian

Replace with:
2) Genesis (Atmos)

Well, he's been quoted that remixing AC/DC in surround wouldn't work... I sooo wish he'd prove himself wrong...

Oopsie!

1) Led Zeppelin
2) Genesis (Dolby Atmos only)
3) Eurythmics

[Jeffrey Michael]

This could be a band with less than 10 records in their catalog or particular label too. Although, I still could see AC/DC included because I would think the parties involved would send an artist’s catalog to the UK before the US, but that’s only a guess.

 

[Sonik Wiz]

Quadraphonic circle jerk. Hopefully the OP will get to the point soon....

 

[RustyStatic]

I’m surprised nobody has guessed Steely Dan yet, so I’m gonna go with that one.

If total play time means length and not repeat listening value, that might disqualify them… and same with unreleased material… but what the heck.
