for $35 in savings, reordered at ImportCDs as well and let them know why.
Easy-peasy cancellation for me, YMMV.Importcds' price is now $86.99. shipping & tax it's 97.58. I'm hoping to cancel my previous order with them. That one I pre-ordered at $119.34
Wow. I cancelled and re-ordered just in time!Importcd has just raised the price to over $119 so deal is over.
Grrrrr!A bit of disappointing news about this box - I'm told by someone involved in the project that five songs were not remixed in stereo & 5.1 by Steven Wilson due to missing multitrack tapes. For whatever reason, none of the promotional information released by the label so far mentions this.
To preserve the album sequence, Penteo upmixes of said songs were inserted into the running order on the 5.1 mixes and the same was done with the original stereo masters for the 2.0 mixes (unlike the recent Ultravox Rage In Eden set where the unavailable songs were completely omitted from the 2.0 mix).
- "Hassan I Sabah"
- "Forge of Vulcan"
- "Deathtrap"
- "Infinity"
- "Lifeform"
Obviously they got what they could from it all; I'll find it interesting to hear what SW does with the Penteo up-mixes.A bit of disappointing news about this box - I'm told by someone involved in the project that five songs were not remixed in stereo & 5.1 by Steven Wilson due to missing multitrack tapes.

If my only choice is omit or upmix, I prefer it with the upmix.A bit of disappointing news about this box - I'm told by someone involved in the project that five songs were not remixed in stereo & 5.1 by Steven Wilson due to missing multitrack tapes.
