Apparently Steve Hackett is considering releasing some of his back catalog in 5.1.
However they've hit a snag with two of the albums due to missing masters.
Here's an exerpt:
"Well there is a move afoot to do Please Don’t Touch and Spectral Mornings, the albums either side of that Voyage of the Acolyte and Defector, in 5.1. So far no one has found the multi tracks for Voyage or Defector. I have to say in my defence that at the time when I was working with Charisma (Records) they insisted on having the masters themselves and now things have got lost. so far they haven’t appeared but I still hope that these things will get discovered"
The info is from a recent interview with him about his new album Beyond The Shrouded Horizon. The full interview can be read here.
I reckon if you had input about the 5.1 release, you could contact his management team here. Me, I'd be pleased if he followed the King Crimson route...
