Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind words. Without question, you should obtain the Blu-ray version of Close to the Edge in 5.1 IMMEDIATELY, if not sooner. (And make sure you go for Blu-ray over DVD-Audio here.) It is one of THE most immersive 5.1 mixes you’ll ever hear. Just wait until you’re fully enveloped by Rick Wakeman’s church-organ section on the title track, for starters…

In fact, I recently interviewed Steven Wilson about what he did for the CTTE in 5.1 mix. That piece will appear in the April 2014 issue of Sound & Vision, which goes on sale February 28. I will post a longer version of that interview right here on SoundBard on February 26.

I’m a big fan of Steven Wilson, P. Tree as well as 5.1 surround music. I have a pretty extensive collection of 5.1 music (mostly rock) and don’t get why it has such a poor following. Argh!
Question: (I think I know the answer) If I have Close to the Edge in original vinyl, remastered vinyl, and remastered CD, can I justify spending $30 for the surround mix? It’s not so much that I’m cheap, but I’m a music hoarder so my vinyl/CD collection is an expensive habit. If I knew that the 5.1 mix was different enough (more immersive ) than the remastered CD I’d go for it. I know Steven Wilson is the 5.1 wizard so I expect you’re going to suggest “go for it!” just wanted your opinion.
