Lion's Gate CEO: "in terms of HD, Blu-ray is really the technology of the future"

[WriteSimply]

On an unrelated but PS3-note, Musictap.net just released news that the entire Genesis catalog is going to be remastered and remixed.

TAP reader, Grant Hittinger, acting on our link to the Genesis announcement, has sent us the results of the announcement, which occurred on Tuesday, Nov 7. Here's the deal. Genesis, with their core element of Mike Rutherford, Phil Collins, and Tony Banks, will reform for a tour, their first in 15 years. It is a Euro tour and is called Turn It On Again. We just have to hope for a US tour as well (trust me, it'll happen). But that's not even the best news.

It appears that the Genesis camp (we knew this was happening at some point - we reported on this last year) will be reissuing all Genesis albums...in SACD Surround. They will be issued as SACD/DVD Double Disc sets and will be phased released. The first releases will be A Trick of the Tail (1976); Wind & Wuthering (1977); ...And Then There Were Three (1978); Duke (1980); and Abacab (1981). This first fruits phase will begin in March of 2007.

The second phase will include Genesis (1983); Invisible Touch (1986); We Can't Dance (1991); and Calling All Stations (1997). This phase will begin in either June or July of 2007.

The final phase includes the real gems of the set with Trepass (1970); Nursery Cryme (1971); Foxtrot (1972); the magnificent Selling England By The Pound (1973); and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974). This final phase (the Peter Gabriel period phase) will begin in late 2007 or early 2008. Gives you a chance to save your pennies.

And you think BD is going to empty your wallet. HAH!
