I'm hoping for the Rush albums that received the Atmos treatment not long ago. I would love to have a stand alone Blu Ray of the self-titled debut.
 
Any other clues, e.g.:
  • Another batch of 4?
  • Projected release date?
  • Specific label(s)--WB, Elektra, Atlantic, etc.?
  • Any titles that previously had a 4.0 or 5.1 mix?
  • Any titles that already have a streaming Atmos mix?
  • Any titles that were planned but pulled b/c they'll be part of a future box set?
 
Rhino only has (some) albums post 1989
Yep. Rhino distributes the "Atlantic years:"
  • Presto*
  • Roll The Bones*
  • Counterparts
  • Test For Echo
  • Vapor Trails
  • Feedback
  • Snakes & Arrows^
The entire pre-'89 catalogue is distributed by Universal, while Clockwork Angels is on Roadrunner. In any case, Rush's own label Anthem seems to fairly tightly control what gets released, so I don't see Rhino getting a crack at any Atmos mixes, even if they do get done.

I'd definitely like to have a better 5.1 (with Atmos now) release of Snakes & Arrows as opposed to that MVI disc release that came out however long ago. To me, on my system, it sounds horrible. What bothers me mostly is just the sonic quality of it, but I love the album...

Given how many Atmos mixes Chycki has cranked out for Rush in the past few years, and his love for the band, I think it's highly likely he would revisit Snakes & Arrows. His stereo mix, as mastered by Sean Magee for vinyl and hi-res (still unreleased except via download code included with the vinyl, argh!), sounds great. I think there's the potential for a much better-sounding surround/immersive mix.
 
Just as a side note, a question for Mr. Woolard (Foraging Rhino), is it true that Elliot Scheiner did a 5.1 of The Cars debut album that has been shelved since about 2003? Very sorry if you've had this question a million times...
