Now that we have the SW remix of GG's Free Hand to look forward to in June, I'd like to see a 'standalone' release for the 5.1 Blu-Ray remix of the band's Debut Album (which came out as part of the Unburied Treasure box set).

Maybe an Atmos version of that is coming? With 5.1 on it?

Also: my Microsoft Edge browser found that the discount code "DEEP10" currently works at Deep Discount.

Thanks for the heads up on that! Ordered it at Deep Discount and also got Jon Anderson's Olias upmix set, his forthcoming Animation CD and the Deutsche Grammophon Blu-ray of The Planets & ...Zarathustra by the Boston Sym. Orch. conducted by Steinberg. So, two preorders and two backorders with code. Lookin' forward to receiving them.

I'm not sure that's better than the original mix.

Anyway, it's the 5.1 I'm actually curious about.

I haven’t really been excited about any pop/rock surround releases this year, but this is a must buy for me. I’ll cross my fingers that Interview comes out this year as well (which I consider to be a pretty significantly underrated GG album).

 

[ssully]

A surround mix of the entire Live - Playing the Fool would be nice too.

 

[5.1 4 Life]

A surround mix of the entire Live - Playing the Fool would be nice too.

I agree! I read somewhere that Playing The Fool got remixed a few years ago (not in surround however). And one of the songs from Playing The Fool, "Excerpts From Octopus", appears in 5.1 on the Octopus CD/Blu-ray as a bonus track.

For those in mainland Europe this link was in an email I got from Just For Kicks Music in Germany Free Hand CD+BluRay 5.1 & 2.0 Steven Wilson Mix | PROGRESSIVE | Shop | Just for Kicks Music Shop

IIRC, the tracks that make up Playing the Fool were remixed in stereo in the Unburied Treasure boxset.

Usually, Steven Wilson tries to recreate the original stereo mix at first before doing the surround mix. It should sound about the same, but cleaner.

At last Free hand is up on Burning Shed in the UK:
