I only did the new stereo and surround mixes not the remasters, SWTayler

Apologies for the spelling and thank you for the correction, I assumed that the mix on the CD's was yours as well

I'm embarrassed, I should know how to spell your name, you've worked with many of my favorites of late but honestly, I was trying to read every review I could find on the net to see opinions on the surround sound BR and it's spelled incorrectly on a few of them too so maybe that stuck with me

There isn't a negative slant on the 5.1 in any review or on any quad or surround forum, so maybe my expectations were unrealistic and the fact that I waited some time to get them added to that and I probably should have had a few more spins before commenting

May I ask if you can share why Raindances and Breathless were not included in 5.1?

Such a complete set otherwise!

Thank you sooooo much for setting the record straight. And thank you for your work.

(Have you ever hung out or worked with Rob Reed of Magenta? I think his Surround mixes are superb.)

Corrected it for you

I only have Remain In Light, which I enjoy quiet a lot. It's actually the only Talking Heads-album I have though.

Well, Just picked up Fear of Music and can't recommend it enough. Jerry Harrison really decided to go quite wild in a lot of his choices but I think he really pulled off something special....there is lots of exciting additional detail here. Can't wait to hear Remain in Light.

Thanks for the recommendations, lovecraft and interbellum!

Well, ideal for a Sunday morning, I dipped into the Atom Heart Mother quad mix.

The title track sounded spectacular, the choir sections and Funky Dung really benefitting from the 'opening out'. Fat Old Sun, a wistful piece of pure Englishness that can often bring a tear to my eye, brilliant also.

Been a busy holiday season so not as much time for listening.

Recently played -

Alan Parsons - Tales
Jakszyk Collins and Fripp - Scarcity of miracles
Jakko - Secrets and Lies
KC - Lizard
Helmet of Gnats

After finishing reading the book Jakko wrote I was in the mood to listen to Scarcity Of Miracles. Loverly album with atmospheric progressive music and a fine mix which gives the drums and backing vocals a lot of space in the back-speakers.

That makes perfect sense. And I too am a fan of “Scarcity…” I liked it when it first came out, and at the time, the bonus was that we all had something that was almost-Crimson in a time when there wasn’t much going on in the KC Universe. In retrospect, I do not feel that Fripp would have started the the Three Drummer era Crimson if not for Jakko and “Scarcity…” So to me, it is embed with even more specialness than it had at first.

Thank you, Jakko!

Haven't heard Fear of Music (though I guess it's now on my wanted list ) but Remain in Light is very good.

I've always been a big fan of this album - it has an atmosphere that I can't think of anything else in the KC related catalogue that's really like it.

Remain in Light is my absolute favourite and I imagine is ideal for the medium.
