Topic: Gentle Giant - Octopus - Remixed by Steven Wilson Posted: September 18 2015 at 13:24
This is coming out in October.
Say what you will about SW's music. He seems to understand music production pretty damn well and I think I'm looking forward to this.
Anyone else hear this news? Pretty exciting!

That's one album that really doesn't need much "fixing." I think my copy sounds pretty great.

I don't think the purpose of those remixed are too fixed anything, but to give another dimension to the original lp if you can enjoy the surround sound, and to present instrumental mixes.

His 5.1 mix of "The Power and the Glory" is excellent, I'm glad I bought it on Blu-ray. I don't have "Octopus", so I'll probably buy this one too

All 5.1 mixes of Mr. Wilson are excellent.

I just converted the vinyl onto MP3. One of the best albums ever made.

Did the cartoons that follow the albums are good? I got so curious by them.
Octopus is my favorite album by Gentle Giant, I maybe tried to buy this one.
