I can't believe that Steven Wilson would not be involved with future 5.1 releases.
So far I have Red and ITCOTKC. No Lizard yet. I must say that I am impressed, especially with the changes in ITCOTKC. Wonderful! |

Fripp is currently working on the THRAK 5.1 remaster. No word about Steven Wilson though!

Anyone hear any word on when the LTiA remaster is going to be released?

The "Red" DVD, besides including live performances of 'Larks' tongues in aspic Part II', 'Trio'/'The night watch', 'Lament' and 'Starless' on the set of some French or Belgian TV program, also has the whole original album plus the three bonus tracks (again), and yet another bonus entitled 'A voyage to the Centre of the Cosmos', an amazing jam very 'Starless and Bible Black'-like.
Kind regards.

This might be a good reason to buy ITCOTCK. I'm really curious about the 4CD/DVDA box set.

I'll buy ItCotCK, Red, and Larks Tounge at least. I'm fairly excited to hear these, and the Beatles remasters as well.

Are there any news on release dates or plans for the next albums? I alredy think it's odd they release both the first and the last albums of the 70's period, without even mentioning the ones in the middle.
I think Red and ITCOTCK are great, but my personal favorites are Lark's and Islands. I'm looking foward to the new versions of these. |

Thanks for your post (with details!) I didn't know this project was in the works until you wrote in...

I have owned ITCOTCK on many different formats - including cassette - because the album is classic. Last year I upgraded and bought the DGM Japan Mini LP sleeve to bring back a bit of nostalgia while I held the Mini-LP. And plus awesome sound! LET'S GET SMALL!
So, I feel comfortable stopping there and I'll spend my hard earned money on exploring newer music.
But, this in itself is a problem. Much of the newer music has bits 'n pieces of glorious stuff, but it doesn't stand the test of time because the fertile hotbead is really populated by only a few genuises. Steve Wilson is one of them. But, for his song-writing, not his production. I'm not convinced on this one.
Maybe it really just gets down to Fripp's bank account. As with all artists, you need money. So this is his modus-operandi to generate that. If you want to help, buy the newer versions, if you don't, that's cool too.

Provided you have a real 5.0 system, yes.
You'll not hear anything worthy in your normal home cinema system (wxhich happens to be a 4.1 anyway). andthe 5.1 is costing £$£€£$*$€€.€$
I'm with Jos here, just stick with the 30th, especially it you've got them in cardboard sleeves.

It does if you don't have pots of money and do have bills to pay. New formats are often ways of making money for big companies. Repeat: do you need a dedicated amplifier for 5.1? Edited by Big Ears - July 23 2009 at 03:18 |

Yeah, I guess you have 1 album in every format: LP, K7, CD, 5.1, CD+, Blu Ray... Every format.
But only 1 album. Anyway, if I can join the sheeps, I would take the 5.1 too for sure. |

Just because your first television was black and white and your first record player was mono doesn't mean that you continue to watch and listen that way.
The 5.1 recordings that I have heard are fantastic. Modernize and enjoy. |

Do you have to have a dedicated amplifier for 5.1 surround? Sorry, but my first record player was mono, my television was black and white and we listened to the BBC Light programme.

5.1 is Dolby surround sound. Wilson is a great choice being that PT has obviously studied Crimson as a point of departure. Lake might have been a good choice, but some of his production is not as strong. My first Larks Tongues CD (not a DGM release) was horrible sound. I sold it and kept the vinyl. The last Larks Tongues CD that I had had infinitely better sound. These new surround sound should knock the paint off your walls. Fripp has such precision, he probably wouldn't stand anything less. Choosing Lizard as one of the early releases is an intriguing choice, since it is a great LP but not the most popular (kinda the black sheep of the family). I am looking forward to the new releases.

5.1 is home theater- right and left front, right and left rear, and center. The ".1" refers to a subwoofer. Discrete signals are sent to each channel, which give a sense of immersion unlike anything you can get with two-channel stereo. Yes, a lot of people have these setups.
My problem is that most home theater systems (mine included) aren't designed for music. The speakers are made more for sound effects and speech. Nah, give me a regular CD, a pair of seriously capable speakers and a good amp without all the fancy staging effects. I just don't enjoy music in 5.1 the way I do in hifi. |

Fripp has also posted a download of Disengage with Phil Collins and John Wetton prior to Exposure recording...
