Forget reality, what is your dream multichannel release?

[sjcorne]

Earth, Wind & Fire - I’d settle for the Greatest Hits albums in 5.1

You can actually hear a good chunk of that Greatest Hits LP in surround from their various quad and 5.1 releases. Head To The Sky, Open Our Eyes, That's The Way Of The World, and Spirit were all remixed to quad in the '70s (the Head To The Sky and Open Our Eyes quad mixes were released on SACD by Audio Fidelity a few years ago), and Gratitude was released as a 5.1 SACD around 2000.

Every album by elbow.
Sigur Ros () and Takk and Agatis Byrjun for sure as they are all classic albums

 

[Muppet69]

ELO Eldorado too

 

[beerking]

Oh bugger it.
All of the above!!!
And any subsequent ones too.

Hell, I'd gladly pay loads of money to whoever mixes Supertramps "CRIME OF THE CENTURY" into a surround mix this album clearly (!) deserves. Which begs the question: Has there ever been Quads from Supertramp? Daft Punk, as someone pointed out, would also be terrific. But since most songs are based on samples, I guess that will never happen. What I really hope will someday be released is Parsons "I, Robot". Oh boy.

 

[JediJoker]

A few things I'd like, in no particular order...

- The Moody Blues: all quad mixes, unaltered (plus Jakko's mix of In Search of the Lost Chord), in lossless

- Gentle Giant: more Steven Wilson mixes, plus the two quad mixes, unaltered and with correct channel assignment, in lossless

- Sting: all DTS-CD surround mixes in lossless

- Kevin Gilbert: The Shaming of the True, mixed competently by someone who cares (John Cuniberti, maybe?)

- Marc Cohn: eponymous debut

- Dire Straits: Love Over Gold and On Every Street, mixed by Chuck Ainlay (naturally)

- Pink Floyd: the unreleased Andy Jackson mix of Obscured By Clouds, and the still unfinished James Guthrie mix of The Wall

- The Alan Parsons Project: The Turn of a Friendly Card is my top pick from what's left

- Rush: more Steven Wilson mixes

- Paul Simon: Graceland would be glorious

OH HELL YES. But why no I, Robot?

 

[Beefalo]

Roxy Music - For your pleasure & Country life
Led Zeppelin II
Repo man soundtrack
Bryan Ferry - Bete Noire

 

[EricKalet]

The entire Led Zeppelin catalog especially Physical Graffiti. Kashmir is begging for Atmos!

 

[JediJoker]

OH HELL YES. But why no I, Robot?

I, Robot would be great. It's just not my favorite.

Would have been done if Dweezil was in charge instead of Ahmet.

 

[JanBakker]

That would be the Pagan's Mind catalogue

 

[PmikeK]

Prince SOTT
Kamelot Black Halo
K os Joyful rebellion
Steve Vai Passion And Warfare

Hell, I'd gladly pay loads of money to whoever mixes Supertramps "CRIME OF THE CENTURY" into a surround mix this album clearly (!) deserves. Which begs the question: Has there ever been Quads from Supertramp?

Agreed... and to be honest, I'd do the same for any Supertramp album from Crime of the Century thru Breakfast In America

What I really hope will someday be released is Parsons "I, Robot". Oh boy.

Yes, Yes .... and if there is another Parsons re-issue in the future I'd bet it will be that one

A few things I'd like, in no particular order...
- Dire Straits: Love Over Gold and On Every Street, mixed by Chuck Ainlay (naturally)
- Pink Floyd: the unreleased Andy Jackson mix of Obscured By Clouds, and the still unfinished James Guthrie mix of The Wall
- The Alan Parsons Project: The Turn of a Friendly Card is my top pick from what's left
- Paul Simon: Graceland would be glorious

A big yes to all of these. I'd substitute Making Movies for On Every Street. But if I could have only one more Parsons re-issue in my lifetime it would be Turn.

Better surround mixes (and better mastering) for the Genesis albums.
