This is listed at a decent price at Amazon right now and I believe includes the replacement disc too, according to info on SHF. I might just have to bite.

It was on sale there a month or so ago and I got it for just over $18 with replacement disc.....I think of few of us here did.
Yeah, unfortunately I missed out on that.
And here I thought the credit card and I could take it easy the rest of 2022. Oh well... pre-ordered. Thanks for the tip.
A 2018 remaster? Wow, he's been sitting on that for a while.
All these sort of things trip me up in their wording. So, for us surround fans, what is this offering that is different from the original DVD-A I have? Just the 4 bonus tracks? I mean, no Atmos...so....
I think it's been out on vinyl for a while now.

Nothing I think. Same as the In Absentia reissue. I guess it's good if you didn't manage to get the DVD-A at some point.
Side note, I have a memory when I bought this DVD that it would never come up as a DVD-A, only DVD-V. There was also nothing in the AUDIO_TS folder, unlike other DVD-A's. I returned it and replaced it but same thing with the replacement. Did anyone else have this issue?
Ah, OK. Still, vinyl is pretty niche.
Remastered stereo. Guess I'll try to find a good, stand-alone copy of the album remastered, and stick to my original DVD-A for the 5.1 experience.

No Atmos....disapointment.
From what I gather, it's the least niche of all physical mediums!
If I read correctly, Wilson isn’t interested in revisiting his past work for Atmos, but it wasn’t clear if that was everything, or just PT.
However, I hope that’s an instance where (as he’s admitted in the past) he’s lying. At the very least maybe he’d be open to changing his mind. Doesn’t seem like that’s the case here, though.
I wonder if he’d at least re-visit his solo material. I’d be a very happy camper with an Atmos version of Raven... which was my first experience with Wilson’s music in any form and still my favorite.

Maybe, but I think it also has to do with him not having the original 5.1 mix sessions (as he told S&V's Mike Mettler last year). Remember that IA & Deadwing were mixed in 5.1 at Elliot Scheiner's home studio in Connecticut, before Wilson set up his own system.
Without those old 5.1 sessions to use as a springboard for the Atmos mix, I think he'd have to start from scratch and forensically piece the album back together (basically treating it like one of his classic album remixes).
That'd be a much bigger undertaking than simply loading the session file for one of the albums he did mix in 5.1 (such as FOABP, as suggested in the article) and starting to work on an Atmos mix from there.

What about the Storm Corrosion Atmos? there were news that it was going to be announced soon.

According to the Discogs comments (I haven't heard it myself), the 2018 CD is just a reissue of the original master. For whatever reason, the 2018 remaster has remained exclusively on vinyl.
