More 5.1 to come
Some more fantastic news on the 5.1 surround sound remix front. Richard Chycki has announced on his blog that he is going to remix three more superb Rush albums… Fly By Night, A Farewell To Kings and the wonderful Signals.
The only worrying thing about the announcement is that these albums are
to be included in their ‘Sector’ series of box set releases currently under way.
I hope this doesn’t mean very costly box sets like the current Immersion releases from Pink Floyd. The Dark Side Of The Moon edition is retailing at a staggering £99.99 in our local HMV store and selling for about £85 on Amazon!
Although, if I could only have one 5.1 surround sound album, very close to the top of the list for me would be my beloved Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. It is without doubt my favourite Pink Floyd CD and even at the inflated price of £85 it’s going to be very hard to resist. It’s only money, afterall. 
Update : 22nd October 2011
The Sector box sets have been announced… Sector 1 with Fly By Night 5.1, Sector 2 with A Farewell To Kings 5.1 and Sector 3 with Signals 5.1. Prices range from £48 to £36 at the time of writing. So at those prices, I’ll be waiting until at least the new year to see if the prices drop. The 5.1 mixes on their own would be an instant purchase, but not when I own all the other CDs in the box sets. I’m not happy.
