2015 Surround Predictions/Wishlist

Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
So, based on my initial post, what did I correctly and incorrectly predict for this year?
1) Yes - "Fragile" was released, but "Tales from Topographic Oceans" was not. I still remain hopeful however for a release next year.
2) XTC - We already knew about "Oranges & Lemons" before the end of last year, so it was a pretty safe prediction and ended up being one of my favorite surround releases of this year!
3) Gentle Giant - I was right about "Octopus" (although I wouldn't know it for quite some time) whereas "In A Glass House" has now been confined to the "Ain't Gonna Happen" category. Shame, really…
4) Tears for Fears - For a while I think we all thought a reissue with remixes for "The Seeds of Love" would happen this year, but now there's always next year that it will happen!
5) King Crimson - "THRAK" was released, while "Beat" and "Three of a Perfect Pair" continue to sit dormant on the shelf. I really hope 2016 will finally be the year for those two!
6) Jethro Tull - "Minstrel in the Gallery" was another safe prediction, but I was surprised at the release of "Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll" as well this year.
7) Roxy Music - Like "The Seeds of Love", for a while, I thought "Roxy Music" was a pretty safe bet for this year, but it never happened. Here's still hoping for next year though!
8) ELP - "Trilogy" was finally released and is now my favorite of all of the ELP 5.1 mixes ever released. Nice going, Jakko!
9) I was right about "Sparkle in the Rain" but I could have never predicted the mess that would follow with the screwups on the DVD and Blu-Ray discs. Thankfully it was all sorted out in the end.
10) Roger Waters - After years of waiting, "Amused to Death" was finally released in surround, though I'm not entirely sure it lived up to the expectations of many, including myself.
So that's it then. Besides Tears for Fears and Roxy Music, we got surround releases this year from all of the other artists mentioned, so it was a pretty good year, I would say!
