Good. I don't care where you order them from, but if you want Steve Hackett in 5.1, just make sure you get those two releases!

Just these two:
https://www.burningshed.com/store/progressive/product/465/7297/ ("Please Don't Touch")
https://www.burningshed.com/store/progressive/product/465/7295/ ("Spectral Mornings")
Both are remixed by Steven Wilson. Everything else is not worth it at all from a surround perspective.
What you're saying about the other two (the upmixes), Ryan, isn't true. You're imposing your opinion upon them and trying to state it as fact. That's not critically fair at all. Voyage Of The Acolyte, for example, you could more accurately (and fairly) say that it's better than having just a stereo version, but you just don't like it very much. Steven Wilson felt that they were worth including, and personally, I think he's right. Others have to decide for themselves.
Agree with this, the two albums as upmixes are quite decent. That SW wanted them to be released this way says enough for me. Better to have some SW Penteo upmix than nothing at all.What you're saying about the other two (the upmixes), Ryan, isn't true. You're imposing your opinion upon them and trying to state it as fact.

Btw, regarding Hackett, is any of the Genesis Revisited stuff worth it?

Which 2 are they Robert? Are they also on Amazon for purchase? I'm just curious I suppose....
Gos, doesn't look like "Defector" upmix by SW is available at Amazon's for a good price any more. You can get it at importcds and burningshed for more reasonable price but the other upmix,'Voyage of the Acolyte' they did not sell as a stand alone as far as I know you can only get it in the boxset 'Premonitions' which had all 4 SW mix's.
I see that Premonitions is for sale for under $100 at amazon.com right now.
I have Premonitions, the boxset has warts as the way they hold disk's in the card board sleeve's the first time you take them out, you might be lucky but many of my cd's had scratches on them as it depends how careful or not that whoever inserted the disk's at the factory, so thats a physical issue.
If not for that issue I can endorse the boxset as you get the 4 surrounds(2 upmix's which I don't mind, they aren't perfect but its the best we can get from those 2 albums) and then you get a whole bunch of cd's with some live stuff that isn't too bad.
The booklet isn't amazing but is a good add for this set as well.

Just ripped through Spectral Mornings on el ut00b.0
What a bitchin' album! No clunkers. Can't wait to hear the SW mix. Could become a favorite disc.
I'm kind of new here and mostly a lurker.
Nevertheless, I wonder why there are no polls for these three albums yet? I'm interested in purchasing them, but I don't know if they are worth it.

Will Voyage of the Acolyte ever be released separately we all must ask lol? Shame they can't locate the multi-tracks for the two albums as I'm sure they would sound spectacular. And like what was done with Tales earlier including the original Revealing Science of God and the extended Dance of the Dawn - I would hope that both versions of Shadow of the Hierophant be included.
I'm not sure yet. It's Universal's decision but it's certainly something I'll suggest
