Steven Wilson Gentle Giant "Interview" (5.1 & Dolby Atmos Remix out in June!)

As predicted the next Gentle Giant remix from Steven Wilson is "Interview", out on June 16!

"Interview" was the eighth studio album of Gentle Giant and was released April 23rd, 1976. Stylistically it continued in the vein of their preceding album, "Free Hand" released the year before. "Interview" further displayed the eclectic and versatile nature of the band, from reggae influenced grooves to ethereal a cappella vocal passages and furiously complex rockers. Award winning producer and musician Steven Wilson has remixed "Interview" in Dolby Atmos and 5. 1 surround sound. Wilsons attention to detail and deep respect for the source material makes the album sound as fresh today as it did on first release. In addition, the original flat mix, original 1976 quad mix and an instrumental mix will all be included on a CD/Blu-ray. A vinyl album of the remix version of "Interview" will follow next year.

Pre-ordered without hesitation! Thanks for posting this RTBluray.

Yes! Glad to see the quad mix in there too, though it's probably the 2012 Peter Mew mastering like Free Hand.

Pre ordered also.
But wait! This set is not priced at $80 and its available in the USA even though the group is English! I feel cheated.....

my poor poor wallet ..........

PS: I will wait until it appears on a UK site, GG are one of my favourite bands, and my poor wallet probably didn't think I'd get any more GG after the super doper box set

Me as well, but our cousins over the salty sea may be upset, I noticed they state they can't ship to the the USA.

May be a few of us on this side of the pond can help

Yes good idea.
I wonder what's the problem?
Is it the Blu ray?

I checked its on all the options, must be a record company licensing thing, I'll see if I can find out.

"Please note this is not allowed to be sold to US customers.”

Interesting. It’s almost like the next sentence could be, “And let’s not tell them about it either... it’ll just be our little secret.”

I had pre-ordered this already through Amazon US ($22.98), so I’m good.

I'm glad they're shipping that spiffy Pineapple Thief across the pond and Moody Blues to our children's children children. As for interview, I ordered through Amazon. That kinda effy, what's up with that?

It may not be their best - but this is the GG album I find I play most these days.

IMHO, oversharpening contours creating white halos artifacts and overexpose white is not a good "Remaster" for video. Not for my taste.

I prefer a more natural look:



But the audio is OK, although this album was already extremely well recorded and originally mixed, it does not need a new Stereo Mix. A Surround Mix is enough.

"The Missing Piece" is the one which needs a Remix. The album was recorded at Relight Studios, Holland and mixed at Scorpio Sound, London. A departure from Advision Studios, London, where the previous albums was recorded. "The Missing Piece" fails sonically.

The Missing Piece remix is a revelation. Can't wait until you can all listen to it!
