I'd rather The Pineapple, I don't care for the way Fish smells.
Lots of streaming-exclusive titles:
- Van Morrison - Moondance
- Neil Young - Harvest & On The Beach
- Fleetwood Mac - S/T, Rumours, Mirage
- Grateful Dead - American Beauty & Workingman's Dead
- Bob Marley - Legend
- Carly Simon - No Secrets
- Beatles - Sgt Pepper
- Elton John - S/T & Honky Chateau
- Talking Heads - entire catalog
- Doors - entire catalog
Oh, wow.
A fantastic topic, right there.
The Hurting was an upgrade, right? There was a prior 5.1 release then the bluray(?).
SW's next solo album is coming. Not sure the full scope/context of your list, but that will be Atmos.

There was a stereo-only HFPA Blu-Ray issued in 2014, but no surround mix until the SDE release.
I am not aware of a prior multichannel release of The Hurting. So, the SDE release is not an upgrade, in my book. If a holographic ultra Blu-ray comes out 10 years from now, in 38 channel ultra Atmos, or whatever evolves, that would be the upgrade.
SW's album will be the starting point. The upgrades could be expected in the future.
Now, Atmos mixes for Raven? Hand? In Absentia? FoaBP? Those would be the upgrades.
Ah, I thought I remembered seeing a DVD-A at some point.
Nope…that’s why Paul at SDE is THE MACK 🤩
The Pineapple Thief - How Did We Find Our Way
Artbook Set Review - Plus "The Pineapple Thief in Surround," more or less, along the way!

"137" is the track that was re-recorded for Give It Back, not "How Did We Find Our Way".
Correct. Had that information in my notes!
But my brain resisted the truth mightily.
I need to catch up on your videos. I’m so far behind. 🤪
🤪
Always enjoy Mike's Videos. 🥃 🥃

Great video! I was wondering though, is the full Atmos version being released on bandcamp? I couldn't find any info about it, just noticed it was written in your description.
No news on that. I'm sure hoping for a blu-ray.

I'm with you on the Steven Wilson THC release. Pretty underwhelmed by Economies Of Scale and can only hope for more interesting material on the rest of the album. Although the alternate "re-imagined" album with guest artists sounds intriguing, it looks like it will only be available in the deluxe set on a CD, not on the blu-ray in multi-ch or hi-res - I strongly suspect the blu-ray would have had plenty of room for it. Seems like just an excuse to cram another disc in the package. Standalone blu-ray is the format I'm going with - at least the price is reasonable.
As to The Yes Album reissue, I fully expect this to happen with many of the higher profile and progressive rock bands that have already gone down the surround/deluxe re-issue path, i.e. Yes, King Crimson, ELP, Jethro Tull, etc. That wouldn't bother me except for the price gouging. The early details on The Yes Album reissue package is that in addition to the new Atmos mix, it will contain a mountain of material with questionable value: a vinyl LP of the the original album mix, much of the older Steven Wilson remix material already released on multiple formats, and a "rare" mono mix of the album. I sure am eager to hear a mono version of this album - aren't you?
In this day of hi-res digital stereo and multichannel "spatial" music, forcing people to purchase the archaic vinyl format along with digital formats for an inflated price is both moronic and insulting and will be an absolute deal breaker for me. I would gladly purchase a standalone blu-ray, or cd/blu-ray package, but not a package that is filled with unwanted and duplicated material. So far, King Crimson has elected to go the CD/Blu-Ray route with their Atmos re-issues and have managed to include a lot of new material, and just recently Pink Floyd decided to release stand-alone blu-rays of Animals 5.1 and DSOTM Atmos. We can only hope others will be willing to do the same, or I won't be buying it.
