Gentle Giant "Power & Glory" Blu Ray & DVD mixed by SW coming early Summer '14

[IMachine]

I like SWs descision. First the studio stuff please!

 

[rontoon]

Just received me disc today. Was never into Gentle Giant and wasn't really thrilled with the lead singer's voice when I first heard the album on YouTube. I'm glad that it prepared me for the disc which I bought because of SW's mix. Well I can tell you from the very first listen that I love this disc and I'm freakin' hooked. Awesome mix, great separation. Every instrument is so clear and defined. And I've gotten used to the singer. I love discovering new old music. Thanks to the members of QQ who pushed me in this direction. You guys rock!

EDIT: Cool visuals too!

No show at BBY and FYE. And I don't want to pay AMZs new improved jacked up price. Looks like I'm going without.

 

[ssully]

Whoops. I guess I was referring to the 96/24 DTS mix of Interview from a couple of years ago. I had forgotten that was an unreleased quad mix.

Or the quad mix of Freehand?

Pretty awesome listening to bits this evening(in the background) while doing family stuff. 5.1 from the blu ray. Interesting video accompaniment for each tune. Will have to give this a thorough listen tomorrow or the next day.:sun

Anybody see this little bit concerning TP&TG in the latest Prog magazine?

Following on from the 2010 re-release of the conceptual record, this revised edition includes new mixes by Steven Wilson as well as two bonus tracks. "We'd been asked to do mixes before but were always reluctant," explains co-founding member Ray Shulman. "I'd been working with Steven on his solo DVDs and Blu-Rays so finding out that he was a fan prompted us to work together."
Despite the partial reunions of the last 10 years, Shulman is adamant that Gentle Giant definitely won't be reforming, not even for a one-off concert. However, more reissues and maybe even some vintage live albums could well be on the cards. "We found some old concert audio from the eve of the American bicentennial in July 1976," says the musician. "It's quite good quality so we might do something with that - there are some rare live recordings of songs we didn't normally do on there. As for more remixed albums, we're just working out which one to do next so we should have something ready for next year."

I like the sound of that!! (especially if it means "Octopus and/or "In a Glass House" in surround sound)

$12.48 plus $3 shipping at importcds.com in case anyone hasn't ordered one yet (like me, who just did).

Maybe not the best price ever but it sure beats amazon's $18.98 plus $4 shipping.

Be sure to order the one with UPC code 804471000206

Great mix, I always loved Proclamation and its reprise at the end. Jon going to set up a poll? Also, anyone else experience a slight hiccup on the disc during The Face? A small matter. The accompanying videos are the best I can recall on any surround disc, oddly I saw no credit for them anywhere. Are those Ray Shulman's work?

I'll have to give those shows a listen. I'm not familiar with most of the music on the lists, but Watermelon in Easter Hay and To One in Paradise are both beautiful songs.

Wow HD do not even have this title, even though they listed it and took my money! I was expecting this to arrive on the 22nd but no stock. Atrocious service.

SW likes Zappa! If only he could mix a few of Frank's title's, that would be immense.

Good luck with that SW & co.. Wasn't it Dweezil who scuppered the chances of more Zappa in surround by saying in an interview one time he'd like to do more 5.1 but no point nobody wants this stuff..!? @:

I just received an e-mail from amazon.com telling me that their pre-order price guarantee kicked in and I was only charged $13.68! Still haven't received the package yet (maybe tonight when I get home?).

Displays of demonstrative enthusiasm are usually not in my nature, but after one listen all I can say is:

According to http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/ , Ray Shulman is responsible for the visuals. And they are mesmerizing!
