I have just been told it is okay to tell you all about this at long last - so here goes.

Featuring brand-new stereo & 5.1 mixes by Steven Wilson as well as some additional bonus material and the original stereo mix in glorious high resolution, "Close to the Edge" will be released in October this year. I cannot say too much more at this point in time, but will update this thread as & when I am able to do so.
This has been a very long time in the making, but well worth the wait - the new mixes sound absolutely glorious!

Incredible news! I need to pinch myself. There is a God!

[ZombieCrue]

I'm in! Sounds like another winning project for Steven.

"First in a series". Like the sound of that.

Yes indeed. Am so happy to see this coming out... (I'm so glad I wasn't quite whelmed enough to check out the 2ch SACD. I really need a good reason to rebuy any music any more, and this is one of those good reasons.)

Apparently this blu-ray will include a bonus track of "America" in stereo high res and new 5.1 mix.

[flyonthewall2983]

It says so in the link.

Seems like they's a new remaster due later this year.

Here are some details from the UK site that will release it.

Here is another from the man that will do it: Steven Wilson

I am looking forwards to it very much!

Wow, my interest just greatly piqued! He's doing instrumentals of the stereo tracks just like the XTC disc, very cool that they're doing a vinyl needledrop of an original UK A1/B1, dude is probably my fave guy in the music industry right now.

I just wish he'd suddenly decide he wanted to do all the Dave Matthews Band and The Verve deluxe editions, then I'd be over the moon.

Would love to hear him do Oasis' Definitely Maybe too, a nice, open, dynamic 5.1 mix would be brill.

CTTE is a fantastic sounding disc. I also thought the mix wasn't very aggressive. Tasteful would be the description I would use. The album has never sounded better. The whole package is nice. Great liner notes, the disc menus are well done and the content is pretty comprehensive. Very much worth the cost of admission for me.

"Tasteful"- nicely put. Though I might add "tasty" as well.

Just received this disc and I have to say that it is awesome. The 192 just blows away the cd and album. I'm not into 5.1 mixes for music but this one is very good.

Excellent interview- thanks for the link.

That part about SH having a hand in subsequent re-mixes does concern me though...

As much as I've loved him as an artist, his decision-making in the past few years leaves a lot to be desired, imo. I wish he'd just let the master of surround do his work.
