Bob Mackenzie's Atmos mixing experience - A young guy. This could be a major plus as some other's have said he can hear everything way better than our mixing engineers hereo's who many of are past their prime if basing mix's on their own hearing. Most of all the great ones all started very young and did some amazing mixes at a young age. It is again just over time we get to see a track record for people. Even for all my favorite bands the albums that were beyond amazing were all done by bands were they were barely into their 20's.

Did the Lamb Atmos mix under the supervision of Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks.

I sure hope the supervision by Peter and Tony is that they said to Bob Mackenzie please get the best dynamics as we can't personally hear the high's any more so we are going to trust you.

If Tony does similar supervision like he did with the 2007 mix's with Nick Davis-way to much compression and nothing any were close to the dynamics that Steven Wilson has been able to do with Yes and King Crimson from same recording age.

As a fan of all the above, especially Genesis and Yes, I totally agree with you. SW has mixed my Yes and Gentle Giant favorites to my ears as the best I have heard. If Bob can do that to my "intro to prog in 74" as SW did to my other fav's, then my hat's off to him. I really didn't care for the early 5.1 remaster/remixes of Genesis 70-77 that I own but still play them because that's all I have. I want to hear better because I have 2 channel originals that sound better than most of the multichannel releases. The remastered vinyl that I used to own before I sold my vinyl collection and turntable sounded really good. WTF, let's let the engineers with great "ears" take control here and put out a fantastic sounding release that for most of us will be our last attempt at this great release sounding superb as it did in 1974!!
 
Yes, it is, especially as every penny counts with Xmas not far off.
🎅it certainly does🤶! Now a quick minor moan at Rarewaves - postie has just delivered from them the new Marillion Strange Engine set and the new release of UFO's Obsession (that was possibly the first album I ever bought, and I think the 6th version of it that I have owned, but still a classic!). The moan - that is one day after release day. Every other time that I have bought something from Rarewaves it has arrived either on release day or the day before!! I'm joking, I don't mind :censored::cool::ROFLMAO::SG

At this point I'm hopeful that Peter Gabriel's influence will prevail on this Atmos remix - basing that mostly on how the inside mix of i/o turned out. But I'm still concerned about the possible Banks influence (not a fan of the 2007 remixes), plus the apparent inexperience of Bob Mackenzie, is urging caution. Aside from the new Atmos mix, I don't find the rest of what's included in the release massively compelling so I'm still going to wait for early reviews or streaming samples before pulling the trigger.
 
Same. I need to hear where they go with the mix. I am a fan of how Tony mixed his keyboard parts last time. As well as a lot of the mix nuance. Not a fan of reinvented Genesis sans lead electric guitar! Neutering that bass part in Cage wasn't good either (one of my favorite tracks... and a lot of that from that bass part). The 2007 remix hits like a bonus track mix featuring a lot of previously buried parts from the main mix. Some interesting bits. Some amazing bits. But the 'real' mix is still the original. Something something it is real, it is Rael...
