Excellent news

That's great. A remix of a studio album, I was starting to not like the recent Live stuff, silly me.

I have been waiting for this. Loved Electric Castle. This one is a close second. His multichannel mixes have been pretty good. Really looking forward to it.

Are his anniversary editions exclusively through Mascot Label Group? It's listed at Mascot but I don't remember if US vendors will eventually offer it.

Not on the Mascot UK site yet, but I did spot this!!
on https://www.mascotlabelgroup.com/products/ayreon-the-human-equation-artbook-remixed-remastered

I'll wait until next month to buy as I'm already 30% over the limit I'd set myself per month!

Instant purchase. Just ordered the artbook through mascot. Shipping also be is 30 euros! The total was 87.84 euros. I need to slow down! I bought the bookset deluxe version upon release in 2014. I do not have “The Theater Equation.” This makes the purchase easier as I was looking for this. The 5.1 mix will be nice as well! I kinda burned out on Ayreon after this release though I do have all studio releases through “The Source.” This will be my first live video of Ayreon.

Mascot has a U.S. store. Not yet listed.

It seems it can only be pre-ordered from Mascot EU (so I'll end up paying VAT & tax gathering fee ). but the BD will not have an Atmos mix.

That's disappointing. I ordered not based on Atmos but I like the music, but 5.1 will be OK. Post #1 Arjen says he is doing in ATMOS. Maybe he will do another video with an update as to the why's and how's of Atmos being a yes or a no?

$32 shipping put me off an order for now, that is a bit much.

That's wild, I wonder why. Seems crazy to go through the expense of pressing and stocking and shipping Blu-rays and then not even include all the material on them. Isn't the whole point of the Blu-ray to have multiple formats? And all video material in 480p? Very weird.
