Strictly Quadraplatonic! Besides, Adam's too high maintenance.

Looks like a great set and for a decent price too, count me in....excellent band, hope they do more of their albums like this.

This is good news to me I have several of their albums and the AF SACD of Scheherazade.
However I would like to know who has done the 5.1 mix before I jump in and order.

I did a single track play test of a Renaissance track for Rob Reed many months ago, so it's possible that he's done this mix. I'll try and find out for you...

Just got Rob Reed's latest today. Vol 3. SUPERB. Mr Reed is a genius.

Update: Rob didn't do this in the end. Sorry if I got anyone excited for no reason!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love this album!!! Just acquired all the available Esoteric label CD stereo reissues this year which are all quite nice. "Turn of the Cards" and Scheherazade and Other Stories" were missing in the reissues but were available on a 2fer of both albums performed live. I do have a nice reissue of Scheherazade on the Repertoire label that is pretty good.) And to get Turn in 5.1 is one of my my 5.1 wishes coming true good times!

Check em' out Mike their vocalist Annie Haslam has one of the finest voices in the bussiness with a five-octave vocal range, great progressive band.

I'm not very literate in computer terms but the icon, that is on my bookmarks bar for Dutton/Voacalicon website is the same one that shows up on the link for Cherry Red Records issue of "Turn of the Cards".

Had me puzzled at first as well, I think its a stock logo.

I like what I've heard, so far. The singer sounds a bit like Anneke van Giersbergen, of The Gathering.

I agree there are some similarities between them. If you haven't already give the live performances on "Live at Carnegie Hall" a listen, great versions of all the songs especially "Mother Russia" and "Ashes Are Burning".

Very popular in the 1970s, toured regularly as support act and headliner as well. Annie's range and tonal quality is superb; FYI she's been deaf in one ear since childhood. Can't wait to hear this surround release!

There were many an album that were listed as going to be in Quad but never made it for one reason or another. Life's a bitch sometimes.

When I met him backstage at Steve Hackett in Cardiff I asked him if he'd consider mixing anyone else's music in surround, hoping to get him interested in it so there would be another good mixer in on the act and we'd have more surround to feed our habits, he told me he didn't think he'd feel comfortable mixing other peoples stuff, if he has now changed his mind about that I'm very pleased.
