Thanks for bringing this to my attention, pre-ordered! Somehow I always thought that "don't answer me" was done by E.L.O.

Well, there are certainly similarity in vocal stylings for sure. Anyway, I totally forgot about Don't Answer Me, until I just played on Youtube.

I like the underlying bass line in Pipeline; and then the pops up and also takes it home at the end... have a listen

 

[J. PUPSTER]

I also hear hints of The Moody Blues in the vocals on Prime Time- remember this vid-

 

[The Rang]

I will buy this for sure but it occurs me I don’t recognize any song titles from the album.
I kind of lost interest after EITS and didn’t buy another APP album until Gaudi.
Were there any hits/singles?

This one was a hit. MTV played the video a lot at the time.

 

[Which_One_Is_Pink]

Good start for the new year nice to know APP will continue .

Thanks!
I do remember that one, but I can understand why it didn’t sink in, very poppy and un-APP-like IMHO.
I’m thinking that may be what turned me away (probably unfairly) from them until Gaudi

I also recall that video. Done much like an animated carton. This album was very underrated as someone here stated earlier.
This is going to be a keeper.....I'm looking forward to it

 

[Philip Spinner]

Box for me. I have the other boxes as well so this will look nice next to the others.

 

[DuncanS]

So what's your fav APP album, Dunc: CLOROX BOULEVARD?

I Robot..................I am, I think, or do I? (Asimov rules!)

 

[Marplot]

Box for me. I have the other boxes as well so this will look nice next to the others.

So how many boxes are there so far? Tales, Eye, Ammonia next year. Any others? thanks

 

[Fourplay]

It baffles me that I Robot is not forthcoming more quickly. Was it not that album that really cemented his place in music history? Was it not that album that was a go-to demo for stereo shops and audiophiles? Fine - don't ignore the other releases, but for cripes sake, give us I Robot before we are all dead! Oh, OK. Thanks for mixing in surround, but please... I Robot.

That's it for deluxe box sets... But if you were to ask strictly about surround content, there is a bit more:

his latest BRD, The Secret
5.1 DTS-CD, On Air
5.1 DVD, A Valid Path
QS encoded CD - Stereotomy
5.1 concert DVD - AP Symphonic Project: Live in Columbia

Didn’t know (or forgot) about this one; I’ll be giving it a go for sure!

Its pretty ambient, but it does allow for some nice spread, and it does sound good... I'll bet your SM would do a decent job with it.

 

[Marplot]

Thanks for the information.

Stereotomy is Ambisonic UHJ encoded. Not QS

Yes correct. my mistake.

Ammonia will be the third box with 5.1 that I know of. Just like LuvMyQuad says.
