For instance: Thick as a brick, In the land of grey and pink or Fragile. I admit that in most cases I am eagerly waiting those re-releases of classic prog albums, but in most cases it's not because of the remix, it's just because of the bonus material (unreleased songs, alternate versions, video content, etc.). And I'm getting tired as I have the impression that these remixes (by Wilson or Jakko) keep coming and coming with no justification at all. In conclusion, I'm sorry, maybe SW does his best, but I've come to the sad conclusion that this is not about the music anymore, it's just about trying to make more money out of classic prog bands.
