Description:
Skylarking: XTCs most commercially successful album was, for many years, also its most mythical with tales oflost multi-track tapes (sadly true of other XTC albums but not this one), a song originally dropped from thealbum only to be replaced when it inadvertently became a hit single in the USA, a perfect match, on paper,between the ideal Britpop band a decade before the term was invented & an Anglophile super-producer that turnedrather imperfect in personality terms but still resulted in a classic album.
Still, a masterpiece remains a masterpiece however traumatic its origins & this is one of those few albums thatsounded great at the time & sounds just as great, if not better, now.
When Steven Wilson remixed the album in 2016 for new stereo & 5.1 Surround Sound editions, the release wassuccessful again with both original & a new generation of fans.
Offered the opportunity to expand upon his 2016 work, Steven has now remixed the album for Dolby Atmos.This new edition features the complete album in Dolby Atmos, along with four additional tracks & instrumentalversions in that format.
The Blu-ray also includes the 2016 mixes in DTS-HD MA 5.1 Surround, 24/96 Hi-Res Stereo plus instrumentalversions all mixed by Steven Wilson - plus the original, Todd Rundgren produced, album mix in 24/96 Hi-Res stereo (correctedpolarity edition).
