ELP Emerson Lake & Palmer Cataloge in 5.1 Surround

[JonUrban]

Hi again folks, a little update:

Although Sony may not have seen your petition, I was certainly aware of it and the enthusiasm for these being issued on a high res format. In fact we do owe Sony our gratitude - they basically fired their regular authoring house from the job (after a pretty poor effort) and have taken a leap of faith in delaying release and trusting me enough to have "my guy" Neil do the job instead - politics in major companies does not often allow for these kind of things to happen, so respect to them for that.

A couple of other things:

- the mixes on the DVDA (including the new stereo mix) are flat transfers - unlike on the CD, no mastering has been done, EQ, limiting or compression.

- I took the opportunity to reconsider and to scrap the idea of the alternative Tarkus running order, so the stereo bonus material now appears at the end of a new mix of the complete album including that classic Are you Ready Eddy (-;

The 5.1 remixing work has taken a bit of a backseat to my own music for the last year (the 2 ELPs were done last Summer, release schedules take a while to catch up), but I have just finished a mix of another classic 1972 album, not progressive rock this time - news on that soon I hope.

Thanks for the update Steven. You are the best! I took the liberty of "promoting this post to an article" which now will appear on the front page of the forum home page, as well as in the listings of new posts, because many members may miss this nestled here in the ELP thread.

We are so lucky to have found Neil and then Steven to keep the 5.1 HiRez fires burning. Without these guys, we'd be lucky to get a Dolby Digital $100 box now and then, and that would be about it. Here's to more great stuff from Steven and Neil!

Thank you Steven for all your efforts. If these releases are similar to your others, I am sure we will all be happy campers!
And thanks to Neil also. I owe both of you dinner.

I've never seem something like this before!
Thank you Steven! Thank you!

I hope there are multichannel plans beyong the 6 first albums, and I wish you'll be behind them as well. Maybe working on "Works II" and "Love Beach" won't be as fun as working on "Tarkus", but I'm finger crossed you'll say YES to it.

PS: so much for this Friday 13th myth of being an unlucky day!

I hope there are multichannel plans beyond the 6 first albums, and I wish you'll be behind them as well. Maybe working on "Works II" and "Love Beach" won't be as fun as working on "Tarkus", but I'm finger crossed you'll say YES to it.

I'll be quite happy with the albums up to and including WBMF and if I want to be "greedy", Works Volume 1 also...but I doubt that this campaign will go as far as Works. But maybe Pirates and Fanfare?
Hey, Trilogy and PAAE are all we can hope for.

 

[Quad Linda]

PAAE!!

I hear you, tarkusnj!
Wish the ones that decide went for the whole catalogue. For me the worst 2 ELP albums from the '70s (let's not talk about the '90s...) were "Works II" and "Love Beach". But I do think these 2 albums are great considering the standards of most other bands. If "Love Beach" had the name of "Works III" and had a two tone cover as "Works I" and "Works II" did, people would not bash it as usual. Common, side A of "Love Beach" is not that worse than side B of "Works 1", and side B of "Love Beach" I particularly like it. The problem was the cover. I'd go for an alternative cover. Wendy Carlos did that (alternative covers) on nearly all her CD remastered re-releases.

Well, maybe Sony or whoever is behind this could re-release "Love Beach" with a decent cover. But anyway, ELP deserved the entire catalogue on such a great project.

Well if it's not Prog, then I guess we can rule out Close to the Edge, but whatever it is I'll buy it. And I'm not gonna speculate what album it is either!
I just want to know when Larks' is coming out and what bonus tracks are on it! (Same with TAAB)

 

[dabl]

...it was my interest in surround sound that lead me to Porcupine Tree, No-Man, your solo records...
