Gentle Giant to release expanded remix of "Playing the Fool"

[rtbluray]

Right? SW NOT mentioned anywhere in the new info

Original video Derek specially mentions SW’s involvement in this. Possibly Dan worked on the stereo and SW on the 5.1 & Atmos mixes

Fingers crossed you're right.

Yeah, I wonder how this went from being a Steven Wilson remix to a Dan Bornemark remix. That personally worries me. Maybe Dan has learned a few things in recent years, but if I'm remembering what I read correctly, Dan provided the band a remix of The Missing Piece years back that was rejected for release. Luckily we got an excellent remix by SW instead.

If SW was involved, I'm sure he would be listed in the promo material, so there must have been a separation here, and that would be unfortunate. I'll still buy it, but I hope this ends up being a decent mix.

I'm sure that GG's Derek Shulman will do an interview to explain why Dan Bornemark [instead of Steven Wilson] did the remix for the upcoming deluxe edition of Playing The Fool.

Dan Bornemark just confirmed that SW was NOT involved in this release, so title has been appropriately changed

That is so not good. I won't be buying this until I have read reviews. There have simply been too many times that I have been let down by ridiculously conservative live mixes. Based on stats, the odds are this will be too.

I'm thinking it must be decent because Wilson set the standard and the Shulman's wouldn't put out anything less.

And of course that's what I hope for too. Still, the other side of the coin is, perhaps they (the band or whoever the key influencers are) wanted more of a 'live feel' etc etc... which is not Wilson's bag. Whatever the case, I'm not dissing this, just approaching with caution as I've been let down more often than not and have resolved to never buy another live surround mix unless I really know the engineer's approach/have heard good reports on QQ.
