Steven Wilson remasters Underwraps using new recordings of Gavin Harrison's drumming a la Up The Downstair.
(My apologies if this notion has already appeared here elsewhere, but my search came up empty on the subject.)

What are you saying? You heard he is remastering it, you wish he would remaster it, or what?

Ah OK.
I'm not familiar with the album, but as a matter of interest why are you wishing this? Is the production deficient on the original?
The use of drum machines is one reason many Tull fans are less than thrilled with the record. (On the other hand, it is a favorite of many folks.) I've given it many listens over the years and have never gotten into it and wonder if live drum tracks might make it more appealing.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
That would be amazing.
The idea of Under Wraps being remixed with real drums has been brought up before, including by Ian himself, and I'd be all for it. There are some excellent songs on that album, but it's one of the least-played JT albums for me because it just doesn't sound right somehow. Oddly enough, Walk Into Light is a frequent spin for me.

I love Under Wraps, but I'd be hip to this.

TJTG - Many of those fans who enjoy the album [Walk Into Light], and it's Tull successor ‘Under Wraps’, were happy with the move towards a different sound but the decision to use the Linn drum machine has been criticized with many saying they would love to hear those tracks again with "real" drums, was the electronic drum sound something you were totally comfortable with at the time? Are there any tracks you might revisit to incorporate a real drum sound?
IA - The Linn Drum actually was programmed with my own Ludwig drum kit, sampled from the audio of me hitting the damn things! Of course, I would love to have ‘Walk Into Light’ and then ‘Under Wraps’ re-recorded with real drums. Especially ‘Under Wraps’ which has some great songs and great playing from Martin especially. Probably my most ambitious vocals too, except they wrecked my voice after a couple of tours of live singing every night.
