Steven Wilson remixing David Gilmour's first solo LP?

[christcomesalive]

Rick's estate obviously approved the work. I heard that David is more ambivalent to his own debut being remixed.

I was curious more if they had any specific feedback, other than just greenlighting the project.

Evidently so, as - contrary to popular belief - Steven has not remixed that album at this time (despite having been sent a few multis).

IIRC, there were some comments made on Reddit by a supposed family member involved with this.

Wow, thought there was some kind of confirmation of a SW DG mix; so it’s not going to happen?

Definitely maybe.

This can be a consolation price for SW, not being able to get to remix the main PF catalogue. I can't just but hope that after David's two solo albums, he's approached but Rick's state. Can you imagine Wet Dream and Broken China in Atmos?

Wet Dream was just announced by SW. Perhaps he may do the early Gilmour also?

Pre-ordered mine early this morning.

He remixed Gilmour's first album which seemed to be met with indifference.

Do we have confirmation he actually completed a remix of the album?

For what it's worth, Steven didn't consult me on Gilmour's first album.
I'm far from helping him on all his projects, but he did do Wet Dream in May of last year.

 

[Plan9]

Did either DG or Rick's estate comment on the work that was done?

I'm not aware of that, but generally there's at least one member of the band or the estate that approves things.

Why don't you just ask him?

Even if I get the answer, maybe it's not my place to announce things.

Gilmour's first solo record is by far my favorite of all the PF solo records and have been hoping for an SW treatment since this thread began. And I'll continue to keep hoping. Just ordered Wet Dream, having never even heard it. I was aware of it back then, but for some reason, never made the effort to listen to it. After a YouTube audition, I think it's going to be one of those records for me that didn't much move the needle in stereo, but comes alive in surround.

Sadly, Steven has put a big damper on the rumours about him remixing David's solo debut. He was explicitly asked in the new eclipsed issue and said (roughly translated by me) "No, I won't. I have a few multitracks, which David kindly gave me, so I can play around with them a bit".

How sad. I can see that it might be hard to create a great surround mix from a 3 piece band but I’d be happy with a good one.

I'm pretty sure there's a bit more than just three tracks on the songs. David played several guitar parts as well as keyboards on most songs.

That still leaves loads of room for blind speculation and feverish hope . After all, why would DG give SW some tracks to 'play' with? We know that DG is very surround friendly and having Rick's album in surround can't help but make it seem a more likely prospect that others will follow.

Not really. Gilmour's just not interested in this. The few tracks SW worked on was more like a test and Gilmour ultimately passed on doing the entire album from what I understand.
