Though I'm skeptical about the "up-mix", I have to say I was pleased with what they did for the surround version of Anthony Phillips' Field Day, which is only solo instruments so there's nothing to place in different areas of the room, but they used some kind of magic that gives it a definite in-the-room feeling.
That's why I'm skeptical and would need to hear good things about it before I shelled out for it.
I have no idea how it was done
I remember a interview with Giles Martine years ago about how he de mixed or extracted elements recorded on the same tracks for The Beatles rock band game
No idea how they do this these says
But the way Simon Heyworth was able to separate does guitars and spin them around was mighty impressive
Since the 5.1 certainly won't be a discrete mix made from the multi-tracks I think I will stick with Audio Fidelitey Stereo SACD which sound really good:

I'll stick with the SACD.

Maybe some of the same kind of techniques that they used here,

If ever a remastered album needed a box set with a large format booklet for the artwork, it's this one.
Olias Of Sunhillow is one of my favorite LP's ever. It is perfect and needs no further alteration of any kind.
The Prog Corner
I think they used Retouch by Cedar using demix technology – the ability to remove and separate sounds from a single track.

Yes, that's the same guy, referred to as "a guy who works in IT here" by Giles Martin:

I was not overly impressed with Audio Fidelity's SACD of Olias - sounded about the same as my Japanese CD pressing from many ages ago. I intend to pick up the Esoteric release. --Peter

Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit
Waiting for reviews of the psuedoSurround to see if I should bother picking up the Esoteric...
Apparently it is delayed. Had an email from Amazon yesterday saying delivery from 21st April - 12th May. Should have been here last week.
I got mine from Cherry Red a few days ago. Very nice package although the story is mostly too small to read. The cd sounds better than my old Japanese import but not hugely so, the dvd in stereo played thru my blu Ray player sounds good too, nice images of the artwork on screen. I don't have surround sound so can't comment.

Just checked cherry red and burning shed and both currently showing this out of stock !
Olias is very cheap and easy to find on vinyl. Can't beat the great cover art. I have the WB CD with a ridiculous cover reproduction.
Still waiting for mine in UK. Estimated delivery shows 12 April. Ordered from Amazon.
I am not too bummed out regarding tge artwork being g CD size, as I managed to find myself a copy of the vinyl album dirt cheap. It has a very small tear on the back cover. I don't even have a deck to play it on, I just wanted the cover.
There are two booklets in the package, one for the lyrics and one for a write up with pics and memorabilia, a pity they didn't include a plain text version of the story too but still have my treasured vinyl too so thats ok.
Its good the vinyl is easy to come by second hand but kind of sad too..
(As an aside I was just scanning a bunch of unwanted cd's into Music Magpie, the prices they are offering are pathetic.)
