Rush 5.1 re-releases being readied

I know it's occasionally been discussed here, in this forum, that Rush might put out some of their music in 5.1, but now there's some more substance to that idea. From MusicTAP this week:

Quote:
Alex Lifeson of Rush has let it be known that a 5.1 mix of Moving Pictures (1981) is being readied as well as a 5.1 remix of Vapor Trails (2002). No release dates set for the time being. In addition, the Rush Universal albums are being slated for a remaster/reissue campaign (no word on which precise titles nor a release date). Their last remaster campaign was The 1997 Rush Remasters.

So, while this info is only preliminary, at least now it's known that those particular titles have 5.1 mixes for them, or are at least in the works right now. Here's to hoping they come out in the near future and that they sound good.

Was actually going to post this myself!


Now, here is the big question: What format? There's no mention of this little detail in the info that has come out so far. I hope to Ged that it's Blu-ray. It would be a crying shame if it comes out in the MVI package that they released Snakes & Arrows on.


They wouldn't do that to us, would they?

That would be fine with me since I have an Oppo BDP83, but there aren't many folks outside of this forum who have even heard of DVD-Audio. Since Blu-ray has reached critical mass, they might go that route. As long as it doesn't come out in something compressed, I'll be stoked.

Chris

It's Richard Chycki mixing, I think

oh man... if these are any good at all, i'm all over them...

regardless of format/how "good" it is, a re-release of "vapor trails" can't be worse than the original...

Yep, the older stuff the better.

well, that really wasn't what i meant...



but yes, my preference would be to have the prog/synth stuff released in 5.1 first... i think it would lend itself to 5.1 "the best"...

Please, please let Richard Chycki's new mixes not be compressed to heck in the mastering a la Vapor Trails. That album had such potential, destroyed by the loudness wars.


shinksma

wasn't VT recorded hot in the first place - that's why there's not been a remaster of the whole album.


it's in here somewhere - start at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYtuoRcEC0o
