If it is high-rez. Otherwise, screw it. Just how I feel, not necessarily anyone else.Awesome!
Something of interest to XTC fans: Andy Partridge revealed on twitter today that we're in the process of doing a surround sound remix of the 1992 album "Nonsuch". XTC is one of my all time favourite bands, so this (hopefully ongoing) project is a real honour, especially as Andy is taking a very active role in the remix process. Hopefully more news on this (and some other 5.1 remixes for other artists) soon.
Steven Wilson - Official page Nonsuch is first because it's the first set of tapes EMI managed to locate, but I also now have Drums and Wires tapes (=masterpiece). Gonna be fun!
Hi-rez is not where it's about. A good mix (I like Steven's mixes) is. A lossless format would be great (DVD-A, BluRay).
I mostly agree. As long as it sounds good, I am happy, even if it is in DTS. DTS is where I draw the line though. DD usually ruins the sound completely, although the Caravan release is a notable exception.
I've learned Hi-res is no guarantee of good sound either. I have a number of hi-res releases that don't sound good, and it is not because the mix either. A poor mastering can completely ruin a good mix. Flat transfer please!
Any exception demonstrates that AC3 (Dolby Digital), of itself, doesn't necessarily ruin the sound.
Flat transfer isn't a 'good sound' guarantee, either. Sometimes the original mastering was done in an unbalanced listening setup. Sometimes certain EQ moves were meant to be added for production mastering
Goodness another dream come true! These are rich songs that will shine in such expert hands.
Skylarking is probably the most popular request, for me it would be Oranges and Lemons. Nonsuch is a great place to start. Be sure to include all those terrific b-side I collected while we're at it!

the more psychy-proggy ones -- like Oranges & Lemons, and Apple Venus V.1 -- could make great surround releases.
