HiRez Poll King Crimson - IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING (2019 50th Anniversary Mix) [Blu-Ray Audio]

[rtbluray]

Please post your thoughts and comments on this 2019 50th anniversary edition of the 1969 album "In the Court of the Crimson King", the debut album from King Crimson.
This 2019 50th anniversary edition contains a brand new 5.1 surround mix, remixed by Steven Wilson.
This Blu-Ray contains a completely different 5.1 surround mix compared to the 2009 CD/DVDA-V edition, so all discussion of the 2009 5.1 surround mix should be in this thread: https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/fo...urt-of-the-crimson-king-2009-dvd-audio.11945/

Steve Wilson hit a homerun with this new mix imho.........a definite 10.

Just gave it a first listen. Really gorgeous. Nice full & dynamic sound. Need a few more listens to fully digest it, but it certainly doesn't disappoint. The price is right. Buy with confidence.

Unboxing:

I voted a solid 10. Excellent remix/remaster. On his second time around, Steve Wilson has managed to seamlessly enjoin the fronts and rears into a cohesive whole. Could never imagine ever listening to this classic Crimson album in stereo again!

And the fact that all the bonus features are included in LOSSLESS resolution [96/24] on a single BD~A along with the 5.1 remix finally makes full use of the capacity of this format. The disc's menu is likewise superb and the packaging is lovely as well. And all this for under $30 makes the 50th Anniversary edition of ItCofCK a worthwhile double dip for those who own the 40th Anniversary DVD~A or a no brainer purchase for newbies.

This might not be the right thread for it, but I'd be very interested in a detailed comparison between this and SW's 2009 DVD-A mix. Looking at the poll on that one, 85% gave it a 9 or 10.

KC - ItCotCK - 40th vs. 50th Review

Definitely worth double dipping on this one. Greatly improved clarity and dynamics over the 40th anniversary. For the price of the disc (compared to some other multichannel releases) and the learning experience between the 10 years for SW it just really cool.

Is there only the 1 album in surround on this? Or bonus cuts as well?

All extras are stereo (video clip might be mono).
