Which album that I originally recorded should I try to get the chance to revisit?

[JohnN]

If we are counting votes, Crest of A Knave and Crime Of the Century are tops here. Surround us please.

Lots of great suggestions here - thank you! Much as I would adore to have a go at Crime of the Century, I did not record or mix anything on it - but I am hoping that Ken Scott might be having a go at it!! I have suggested several of those mentioned to various artists, and haven't had much of a response, but I am hoping that a couple mentioned might actually come to life - we shall have to wait and see...

I thought the others suggesting Crime knew something that I didn't know about the recording. Fool me...lol

I've always said Crime is one of the most influential albums for me - I did however make tea for some of the mix sessions during my first days at Trident!!! SWTx

It’s time to go to the Supertramp decision makers and say “Remember that tea I made for you? You owe me a favor.”

Making tea was the most important thing during those sessions so that's more than enough credentials for me.

That's it! You've got the gig!

You start on Monday.

Both Saga albums, The Fixx-Reach the Beach, UK (Jobson's mix doesn't do it justice), Tull, Rush, Chris de Burgh-The Getaway, Ostinato would sound awesome in surround....

You're right on the money in that the 1st UK release (which is an absolute classic) would be so great in MCH! I'm ashamed that at my age it took me until just recently to finally listen to it. It has a great reputation, and deservedly so.

CAN WE INTERRUPT THIS THREAD FOR A MOMENT TO WISH STEPHEN W. TAYLER A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

 

[Horbus]

First of all: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Anything from U.K. would be awsome and a dream come true for me!!
I am also a big fan of SAGA but only the three first albums, so not what you've been asking for.

 

[edisonbaggins]

Rush. Presto and Roll the Bones.

This must be.

 

[splinter7]

Happy Birthday

 

[JeremyG]

As prog sounds so right in surround, Caravan would be my favourite. Following on, Les Negresses Vertes, never heard of them but intuitively sounds good and then Suzanne Vega, her music would really benefit for a bit of surround air. Thank you!

 

[beerking]

Stephen, it would be a 'Crime', not to wish you a very happy birthday .

I wonder what mixing delights you are currently working on?

Have a fantastic day.

 

[dobyblue]

The Waterboys! 1st album, A Girl Called Johnny EP, & A Pagan Place

Honeymoon Suite - 1st album & Big Prize
Saga
Fixx
Rush

And one that only I would buy...
The Better Off Dead Soundtrack

I’d be in for Better Off Dead in a heartbeat! I’ve loved the movie for decades and was delighted to pick up the Blu-ray; I have a big soft spot for the beautiful Arrested By You.

 

[SHB]

Happy birthday

Another vote for Better Off Dead.

The CD sells for about $100 these days so I'd love a reissue.

Caravan's first album is a classic just suited for surround. The Canterbury sound . . . but who knows, it was probably 4 track, it's old. LAND OF PINK AND GREY, however, already in 5.1, would be more likely (and just as welcome).

I mentioned T.Rex's ELECTRIC WARRIOR earlier, but deleted it, as Ken Scott would probably do it. Hopefully??? You asked nicely???
Bolan and Bowie were a competitive pair, so it seems that if ZIGGY gets a good Dolby Atmos, Marc deserves one as well!

Since the air is rather thin atop Mount ATMOS, Dunc....you are forgiven!
