I've worked with some extended mixes of the Keith Hopcroft album Downstream. Original instrumental tracks was lost but Keith and I could make a 96-24 transfer of the stereo master reels.
I would be very happy if some of you could give the track Hello a listen as extended 4.1 upmix and as a normally steady 4.1 upmix;

What is your thoughts about that?
If more of you agree that extended upmix works better than steady upmix we could spread the word! For example I'm sure The first 3 Gentle Giants would be nice to have with extended upmixes for these number there was not surround mixed!
In my ears steady upmixes of albums (never made into real surroundmixes) sounds 50% better than the stereo sound, while good surroundmixes sounds 100% better:
What is your opinion on that?
