KDinsmore Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I am continually amazed how incredible this Aqualung re-mix sounds. Mr. Wilson just made this like new again. Dynamic, alive, a great listening experience! Thanks Steve!!

ted_b Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 The remix of the Benefit album by Steven Wilson is great too. I agree that Steve's remixes of the Tull catalog, especially the newest (Benefit) are great in 2 channel. I am not a fan, however, of some of his (same title) surround mix choices. Sure wish he chose/mixed the surround layers like Elliot Scheiner. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

ted_b Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Which album you are talking about? also benefit or a new one? simplon Steve Wilson has recently done Benefit, and before that Aqualung and Thick As A Brick. I find the Benefit 2013 stereo remix to be the best of the three, but was referring to all of them as not my fave surround mixes. Although I fully enjoy discrete fun surround (as described, and differentiated from ambient ones, in my exaSound review) they need to make some sense...as basically all of Elliot Scheiner's mixes do (Beck's Sea Change being the poster child). Wilson will often choose lead guitar in the rear, and an occasional lead vocal. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.
