Indeed...AP's website calls it a CD + DVD Audio (twice). But we know how often DVD Audio gets misrepresented.
Not in my opinion. I think it's got an edge over all the 90s Parsons solo albums.“The secret”, that is the most disappointing AP album to me so far
I assume the specs will be the same as The Secret. (DTS 5.1, DTS and Dolby Digital stereo).AP's website calls it a CD + DVD Audio (twice). But we know how often DVD Audio gets misrepresented.
Frontiers just ain't got the budget, and since it's them offering him the contract, I can't see AP complaining too loudly about it. Maybe SDE could do a limited Blu-Ray but since the DVD exists, it wouldn't have the same 'exclusive' pull.I wonder why it's not on a Blu-ray audio disc in a lossless audio format!
So the box set follows the model of The Secret. You get a t-shirt, a vinyl record (apparently exclusive in this variant), some other tat and a CD live album that has been out of print for a while. It was LiveSpan in 2019, now it's Eye 2 Eye - Live in Madrid.Formats available for preorder here:

I agree. This song isn’t that great either but still sounds better than anything off The Secret (to a bad album).It already sounds better than anything on “The secret”, that is the most disappointing AP album to me so far
He has PJ highly involved, even helps with mixing. PJ is a wonderful dude."Guest appearances include guitar virtuoso Joe Bonamassa, and vocalists Tommy Shaw of STYX, David Pack formerly of Ambrosia, and American Idol alumni James Durbin, who blend seamlessly with Alan and his incredible band."
I'm wondering about P J Olsson? I've become comfortable with the sound of him being the lead vocalist for APP and so far no mention?
Agreed, that's why I asked.PJ is a wonderful dude.
Same, I like it a lot more than On Air.Not in my opinion. I think it's got an edge over all the 90s Parsons solo albums.

Actually, it was Jon Astley who revealed it via Facebook:Alan may have let the cat out of the bag there.

Actually, I'm sort of glad. Spreads out the spending a bit more. Yeah Gene, we’ve seen your spreadsheets! 😉www.quadraphonicquad.com
Maybe not, but Alan's short essay included with the Blu-Ray makes it sound like the 5.1 remix was done with a lot of care.I bet he put in many hours mixing that original stereo version. The surround version I bet not.
I already knew about it due to the thread here and on SH.tv - and it had been strongly speculated anyway thanks to this earlier post:Wait, what, Steven's doing Who's Next?
That would be big news.
Alan may have let the cat out of the bag there.
