Close TO The Edge in Atmos

[JediJoker]

What is S/T? I can only think soundtrack, and I know it's not that.

"Self-titled."

The section of the album I'm looking forward to hearing in Atmos the most is the "I get up, I get down" one. Although it already sounds really good in the 5.1 mix (at least the vocal part - as I said, I was a bit disappointed with the immersiveness of the organ), it's still a bit two-dimensional. It's totally calling for some sounds coming from above!

Especially since it already sounds like a dripstone cave.

Wilson has all but disowned those mixes. His experience on that job soured him on remixing any albums he didn't already love.

SW has also suggested if not outright said that Carl Palmer was forcing his hand to do things in the mixes that SW completely did not agree with. This also soured him against working on any other projects for ELP.

As for his Yes mixes, I am one of the minority who agrees that, for the most part, Wilson's Yes remixes sound rushed and unfinished to me. If I remember correctly, Close to the Edge might be the best of them, but for others, there are certain songs and parts where I just can't understand why he would bury one particular part or make another super loud. I'm happy to hear him revisit - and likely improve upon - them.

To me, CTTE is his least interesting Yes 5.1 mix. I love his mix of The Yes Album and also of Relayer, although not everyone loved the latter.
