2016 Surround Release Predictions

[user 1679]

A few months ago there was a photo posted of Blackfield in the studio with Alan Parsons....with Steven there as well. Since BF IV came out in 5.1 perhaps we will get another this year.

here's rather game-changing info on the upcoming Mike Oldfield's release... *sigh*

The DVD in the Discovery deluxe contains The 1984 Suite in 5.1 surround sound (created by Mike, of course) and hi-res stereo and adds three promos (To France, Tricks of the Light and Etude).

from this emphasis on HiRes stereo, i came to conclusion 5.1 would be lossy DD or best case scenario DTS

Still hanging out for remixes of The Pineapple Thief's debut Abducted at Birth (formerly Abducting the Unicorn) and Gazpacho's Tick Tock (on CD). They're both long overdue!

So now the board won't let me edit my original post. I wanted to add Steven Wilson's new release and make some other edits. Anyone know why it won't allow me to edit?

It is a timing thing. After a while you cannot edit your posts anymore.

Well that's a pain in the behind! :howl

I'll definitely grab the Tears For Fears and all of the Roxy Music titles (whenever they come out). I must admit that I'm really curious as to what Audio Fidelity has in store for us in 2016. I hope 2016 is as good a year for Multichannel releases has 2015 has been.

Me two! The old 4.0 quad stuff is unfinished business imo. I want to see the rest of the great stuff get reissued in high res or even standard res.

We've gotten some real Quad winners over the last couple of years. I pray that Audio Fidelity gets access to as many great ones next year (and the next) as they did this year. It surprised me at what got released. I was kind of cynical when they first announced 4.0 and 5.1, thinking they would come out really slowly. Instead we got two at a time, and one after another.

I think that we are going to see some 5.1 remixes come out of left field. The Allmans, VU. And Fleetwood Mac items arriving suddenly is a hint. I think the labels like doing them and know that there is this market. The major labels might prefer to toss them into big box sets mostly from here on out and not getting their hopes up for a surround standalone release.

So if this past year is any indication we are in for some very special treats.

The Audio Fidelity surround titles are so very important because they are the vintage mixes most in risk of being forgotten. I'm not sure we can count on having downloads of vintage quad in the future. So the AF stuff is to me the rarer excavated stuff we might not have ever gotten.

I surely hope we get at least 25 to 30 more 4.0s before they run low on quality stuff that is available to license.

Pink Floyd - Animals...

Pigs will fly before it happens I suspect...

Perhaps 2017...

I'd say Animals is rather unlikely next year, but the lady who seems to have some links with James Guthrie in AFG forum is hoping for a The Wall release in 2016. Who knows...

"The Wall" should be released in 5.1 surround next year, but then again, I've been saying that almost every year since 2011!
I wonder though if Roger will be so keen to sign off on the release of a 5.1 surround mix of the original album after the gigantic ego trip that was his 4-year world tour and rockumentary film, which could in his mind now be the definitive presentation of that work…

I predict we'll see some Miles Davis titles come out. Next year would have been his 90th birthday, and his nephew Vince Wilburn, Jr. has said Sony has big plans for that milestone.

I remember several years ago that The Wall did appear as an upcoming release somewhere...a link was posted on a forum I used to frequent...but much like the Acoustic Sounds infamous TBA(to be announced)...it then disappeared...I'm sure if they ask Roger Lip Sync about The Wall he will tell the interviewer that they shouldn't be talking to him as he's not in Pink Floyd anymore....even though his accountant tells another story:ugham:

That's an easy prediction. There's usually a couple of them each month, especially from MFSL.

Yeah, but I'm thinking these will come straight from Sony, and hopefully in 5.1. I believe a lot of those are in stereo.

As posted by Aviv himself today, Blackfield returns to the recording studio this week. As you can see in their Facebook page, Steven seems to be actively involved in the sessions, same as Alan Parsons who, apart from producing the album, plays guitars, keys and vocals. I wonder who will create the 5.1 mix, can you imagine a joint venture by these two geniuses? It'd be like Superman and Catwoman having a child together :-D

Please please please please PLEASE let this collaboration between Alan Parsons and Steven Wilson result in Alan Parsons' own stuff getting done - and released - in surround.... AT LAST..!!!

Left field is fine so long as they get the bloody things released the right side of 2020.. we can't buy them if they don't sell them..!! :ugham:

Careful what you wish for....in an interview with Parsons he basically defended the record companies position about "loud" mastering and thought it was necessary
