"Wish You Were Here" is rumored to be all set to go for SACD.

Rumored for going on 3 years. After a certain point a rumor has to change into a false rumor... I think we are at that point.

Maybe they'll release it via BitTorrent - it sure worked for that other album!

Or, that format I see more and more of: a dvd-video disc with regular PCM stereo (48kHz/24bit or higher) plus a surround track using 5.1 Dolby and/or DTS.

Stereo fans generally seem more concerned about resolution, so they get what they want; while surround fans - many of which aren't quite as concerned about ultimate resolution (DTS sure can sound nearly like PCM) - get their surround tracks.

Hardware-wise they work in all dvd players and there are no bass management problems. And, visuals can be included.

Here's one from EMI, called an "Extended Audio Disc":

Mahler: Symphony No. 8

Here's another one for the house/trance crowd (dvd even includes an MP3 version of the stereo tracks):

DE9: Transitions.

I saw both of these at a Wherehouse Music store a couple days ago. The Richie Hawtin CD+dvd package was only about $17.

The *single* EMI disc though is WAY overpriced at $28 (even online stores are onlya few dollars cheaper). Weird FYI: besides the outrageous price, I couldn't find one mention of EMI's disc on their very own website, emiclassics.com! Same with Simon Rattle's website. Talk about dooming your own product.

I was listening to a live David Gilmour session on XM last Friday when one of the callers asked if any of the Floyd CD's would come in 5.1. Gilmour said that whish you were here would be done in 5.1!

Well, there is a DTS version of WYWH already available via that route...

I think there's also a DTS version of Meddle out there.

where?! where!?

I find it sad that a lot of sixties groups are ashamed of their work-from 1969-1974 alot of cool underground "progressive" came out-much of it from England that you rarely heard on FM here. When they got BIG, THEN you heard them hereie: Floyd, Genisis, etc. I had to listen to Canadian (CKLG)radio to hear some of the stuff passed by here.
Im thinking of a couple groups-Pink Floyd, and an acid folk group called THE TREES, that were big in the UK but never got here, announcing that their work during that time was "pretentious" of "utter shyte"-Gilmour on AHM.
To me that shows lack of character-if the music made was from your true creative center rather than to pander to AM radio-or the bean counters-then you should be proud of the brief time where obscure bands, labels and off-beat, experimental music reigned and where allowed to florish.
And some of these LPs from the UK are worth BIG money today-becasue of their obscurity
