Sounds like it might be one of those "Get it now, because it's going to be a bitch to find in a year or so" type of releases. Best make A Valid Path to your favorite reseller or site and get one on order.

No secrets here....I'm eager to order this one.

 

[J. PUPSTER]

It's a concept album...that's no secret...and Steve Hackett will be on it..plus Ian Bairnson...Jake Shimabukuro...bass player Nathan East and Vinny Colaiuta(drums)

Just noticed the young ukulele master; should be interesting

Checked Bull Mouse, only see the CD listed.

Well, for the adventurous (apparently I am), if you do a little detective work, even though Bull Moose lists 2 entries, both as CD at $13.97 each......
One of the entries is a direct match in terms of the UPC code with another site that calls it CD+DVD.

So, I went ahead and pre-ordered from Moose at $13.97 (Total $16.96 with shipping)
Once they get things better organized, we'll see if I ordered the right one. lmao

I went ahead with the moose too. So, we'll see what happens!

I ordered from Moose too. I converted the price in Euros to US Dollars from the Soul Food for Frontier Records site and found it was very similar to the list price at Moose and that led me to take the plunge from Moose since they are selling it well below the list price. Plus, it's under $20.

Who cares about the NEW album.......Where is "I ROBOT" in surround sound!!!!

That seems like a pretty good price with a CD and a DVD-A and shipping; you sure you didn't make a mistake and order from DV

I'd like that also, but in the absence of the real deal, pretty sure it will sound great through the new Surround Master v2.

LOL - well, something is odd....we'll see.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Awesome! Definitely in for the standalone package. I too am curious if it's actually a DVD-A...

I will be surprised if it is

When we got Tales of Mystery a few years ago and then Eye in the Sky quickly followed I was hoping that Alan would be adopting a Jethro Tull or XTC type of release schedule. When we didn't get anything last year I was worried that maybe he had given up on surround sound reissues of the old catalog. But now that I see this I am a little more optimistic. If he was working on new material, he probably wanted to focus on that and not be bothered with catalog reissues. Since this new title has a 5.1 mix, he clearly (and thankfully) hasn't given up on surround. Hopefully once he is done with the promotion and touring cycle for the new CD he will get back to the catalog. And since he just got recognized with a Grammy for surround mixing, hopefully that is another thing to encourage him. Bring on that Robot playing a Friendly Card game in a Pyramid on Ammonia Avenue!

First song out now:

 

[4-earredwonder]

I will be surprised if it is

Unless it's on the SONY label [like the two previous Parson remixes] I'm sure Alan will go the MLP DVD~A 5.1 route or lossless LPCM. Surprised it wasn't a BD~A [for 'consistency'].

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I like that song...a LOT..
