Steven Wilson working on 5.1 mixes of Tangerine Dream's "Phaedra" and "Ricochet"

[timothyemerson]

Just wanted to see if anyone had heard anything else about how this one's coming along? All seems to have gone quiet recently.

Alpha Centauri, Zeit and Atem were released also in SQ by Ohr Germany and PDU Italy.
AFAIK none of the Virgin albums had a quad release.

Hum I picked up all three many years to get the sq on my Tate. Maybe I killed that brain cell but did we discuss back when that is was German and Italian pressings with the sq encoding? Have to take a look tonight and see what I bought back then. Thanks for the new imprint on a brain cell!

If you read online discussions about them, it's controversial as to whether the 'quadraphonic' label on those Ohr LPs actually means what we expect it to mean.

But certainly, on my system those first three albums (on CD at least) all do some interesting stuff when played using Dolby PL II.

I was wondering myself last night as I listened to some Alpha Centauri and imagined how a peak TD album like Phaedra would sound with a Wilson mix.

I do an Internet search on the subject every day, but alas, no news.
I have also contacted Paul Sinclair, who runs superdeluxeedition.com but he did not come up with anything either

Steven Wilson has now confirmed that he has worked on some kind of release for Tangerine Dream!
Read below from Super Deluxe Edition:

SDE: Talking of your remix work, since you are now very busy with your own albums and touring does this mean you’ll be more selective going forward?
SW: I’m turning down more than I would have done, maybe two or three years ago. I just haven’t got the time. But do you know what? If the right project comes along, I’ll make the time. I’ve just finished work a few months ago on a massive box set for Tangerine Dream and they’re one of my favourite bands of all time, so that was a real labour of love. And as I’ve always said, kind of half-jokingly – and I know it’s never going to happen – but if Kate Bush rang me up tomorrow [laughs]… I’ve spoken at length to Stephen Tayler, her engineer, and he’s said in no uncertain terms that she’s not interested and that’s fair enough. But I’m using her as an example, but if the Princeestate rang me up, or the Bowie estate…or the Zappa estate – of course I would make the time.

"Massive box set" he says, oh no, more huge expense!

 

[Fourplay]

Oh no nothin. If it is all surround, I'd get a 2nd mortgage!

Wow...things like that drive me crazy...why in the world would an artist turn down a request from Steven Wilson...geeze….I would imagine it's because they have no idea how good their music would sound if SW performed his magic...I think some of them just think surround is some gimmick laden mode that would denigrate their work...when the opposite would happen...the other part of "drive me crazy" is the thought of what could be done with some of these artists like Bowie and Prince...or others that he hasn't mentioned...oh boy...if only that lottery hadn't slipped away from me..oh well...there is still Publisher's Clearinghouse

Just searched and found the above comments. Is this too good to be true...straight from the horses mouth, so just a case of when I suppose.
And we know in advance it will be a stellar mix!!

Please Quad Gods don't let the TD box be only stereo!

Thanks for the heads-up. It was a good read.
Still, the wait is killing me.
A 'massive box set' is promising though.

All I can say is bring it on, with apologies to my credit card

Too bad Edgar isn't around to hear this upcoming release...RIP Edgar..... your music and your "dream" is in good hands with Steven Wilson

 

[ssully]

I'd be amazed if they managed to find the multitracks for the early TD albums.

I bet Steven would be too. Apparently Zeit is his favourite album of all time.

Anyway, bring this on, preferably in surround!

I have no 1st hand knowledge, but it may well have been Edgar who prevented their material being mixed in surround while he was alive. The DVDs that are released with 5.1 mixes are ambient only.

Well, after Universal Japan released four excellent sounding Tangerine Dream SHM~SACDs, I'm hoping at least some of them will be 5.1 Steve Wilson remixes. One could ONLY WISH!

Very interested in this one, waiting to see complete details of content and pricing before committing, but I'll no doubt end up buying it anyway.
