While most of the chatter around here seems to be about 2-ch, some of us are die-hard multi-channel aficionados and go to, uhmm, extreme lengths to get the ultimate in ‘surround sound’.
This month’s Sound+Vision magazine has several great articles on multichannel recordings, featuring the work of Steve Wilson as both author and producer.
Steve did the mixing work on the recent re-releases of King Crimson, and I have to say, the new edition of Red is mind-boggling. I’d heard this album decades ago, and played it fairly often back then. But it fell out of rotation until this new re-mix. And boy, what a treat for KC fans!
The new Steve Wilson solo effort: Insurgentes is also available in DVD-Audio, and is a sonic masterpiece of soundscapes and textures that are just stunning a great ML system.
The magazine also implies that many more surround mixes are in the works of key classic pieces. I hope some of these come to happen and become available.
