I just hope all of my favorites are released in surround before I croak. @:

Thank goodness I finished up all my playing on forthcoming Downes/Braide album, I think some time writing sleeve notes for XTC 5.1 now
I'll tell everyone when it's all cooked.
Anyone think there is any chance of The Dukes of Stratosphear being mixed into 5.1? I like the Dukes far more than XTC itself

If that did happen, it would not happen until after all of the main XTC albums were mixed and released and in 5.1 surround, and at the rate they are going of 1 album per year, they are not going to finish until 2024... :yikes @:
Not so sure - if there's issues with finding tapes and the Dukes ones are available, maybe they'll go for it....and it'd be awesome. So much in that stuff for a 5.1 mix to be very adventurous, keeping with the psychedelic aura of the records...maybe not Flaming Lips extreme but I bet Steven would love to let loose a little and some fun with that stuff.
Just passed all the new stereo mixes by Steven Wilson, now to next stage, the surround mix.
Oh, forgot to mention, it's BLACK SEA
Now that we know that "Black Sea" is the next Surround Sound Series title, time for a little speculation concerning extra tracks and whether or not they will be remixed!
There's three bonus tracks on the current CD edition: "Smokeless Zone", "Don't Lose Your Temper", and "The Somnambulist".
There's also a song called "Take This Town" that was recorded during the "Black Sea" sessions for the film "Times Square". It later appeared on the "Rag & Bone Buffet" CD.
Then we have alternate single versions of album tracks like "Respectable Street" (with different lyrics) and "Towers of London", so I'm very curious to know how many of these tracks have also been remixed for this edition!
The other thing that I'd like to see here would be some live material. XTC was still touring at the time and they were a great live band. Some live audio (or video if they have it) would be great.
I made the mistake of buying Nonsuch, and I won't make the same mistake with any more XTC releases.
I tried to sell it, but eventually gave up and traded it in for next to nothing. As D.T. would say ... "Sad".
