It's a lovely idea, but it's all about whether the rights holders are willing to agree and approve, and they have to create and arrange the funding!!
If I could have chosen an album I would love to remix - then it would have to have been my favourite and influential 'Crime of the Century' by Supertramp!! But a/ no licence agreements and b/ lost multitracks!! SWT

I most definitely had Steppenwolf on my radar , but was reluctant to mention this Iconic wonder of a group ..for fear...real fear.
Why ?
Well are the multitracks still there..at Universal? Or did they fall victim to the big FIRE !
But if not , yes Steppenwolf's early Catalogue on music would be amazing, given their music and string of hits!
Lost multitracks!!
If there is one iconic album I would love to have in surround it's this one. Bought the album on release. It's never aged, such clever writing, singing and the music is to die for.
Such a shame

Maybe , just maybe ....and a bit of a long shot.
There might be backup copies , in ...Japan ??..via King Records or even , some multis collector !

Its one of those perfect albums for me, all the tracks are brilliant, and it was incredibly well recorded. I have the stereo Blu-ray and still have my original LP.
How about Patrick Moraz's The Story of I? Or any of his other 70's albums, all of which are (as far as I know) currently being distributed by Cherry Red. The Story of I has the potential for an incredible surround mix.
I once spoke to Patrick about surround sound. He said he had heard Steven Wilson's surround mix of Yes' Relayer and loved it.
Oh....and another vote here for any and all Procol Harum!

Hi Stephen - some excellent suggestions so far (especially 10cc ). I'd like to add a couple of further artists to the ATMOS request list:-
Nik Kershaw (who it has recently been announced will receive a box-set retrospective from Cherry Red this year)
Brand X (who aren't currently part of the Esoteric roster, but SHOULD be)
Big Country - The Crossing
Thanks for your work - looking forward to what you see released this year!

Cherry Red is sitting on one my favorite bands of all time!
PATTO!!!
I would pay big bucks to hear some Patto remixed for surround.
Their catalog would be perfect as their songs are rife with dense sounds and intricate beyond belief musical interplay.
Just like Jeff Beck is a revelation in surround,Unpacking all of Ollie Halsalls' brilliant guitar/piano/vibe melodies/runs would be a sonic revelation.
I can't think of a better 70's rock/prog guitarist tbh.
He and Allan Holdsworth were even in the band Tempest together for a brief moment
That musta been ferocious to say the least.

Saw the forthcoming Kevin Ayers box set that you worked on.
Congrats and its an instant buy by me.
But it seems like a missed opportunity for surround versions.
Were there no multi tracks to work with or no interest from the artists estate?
The multitracks were there for two of the albums, but there wasn't enough budget......

So many cool projects get funded by Kickstarter type crowd fund raising. Wouldn't something like this be an idea.
I know I'd chip in 100 euros towards a multichannel mix of those two Ayers recordsHell I wouldn't even need a physical product just a mch surround download
That might be an idea, but you still need someone who knows what they are doing to take care of the artists, the rights and licences etc - and I don't think most commercial companies want to go down that route of crowdfunding. Fine for completely self-contained artists and bands, but in the case of these classic re-issues it is all pretty complicated. What do I know - I just play with the audio! But I do need to make a living from doing it, passionate as I am, I have to be realistic about what I am expected to do - and as I say sometimes deals are unable to be made. In this case, fabulous as it would have been to do those two wonderful albums, I just could not do it for next to nothing.

Sorry to hear that it wasn't financially feasible.I will enjoy the set anyhow!
Great thread! I see that some Nektar albums are being done in 5.1/original quad.
I would love to see some other issues from the Bacillus label- Popul Vuh, and Dzyan!
If those Crime tapes are lost , then perhaps two other Supertramp albums that come to mind.....'Breakfast In America' , and ...'Even In The Quietest Moments',
might be considered for a surround mix ? That is if the Multi's exists , and
of course the band has to provide the okay .
Produced/Engineered by the legendary Ken Scott!
