    Steven Wilson productions and remixes

    Can anyone list an accurate and current list of Steven Wilson productions and remixes? The sound quality he produces is so good that I want to check out everything he's worked with. Please mention any future work if known also. Thanks!

    That was released more recently than the page was updated. You could contribute yourself.

    He just mixed it. As far as I recall, he didn't have much of a say in any other aspect, and only did the mixing because the timing was right (he was doing the Aqualung/TAAB1 remixes).

    Resurrecting this thread, which had a short but glorious life.

    I just came across this on Amazon, in MP3 and vinyl (6LPs) ONLY:

    Yes - The Steven Wilson Remixes

    It’s all the Yes albums Wislon remixed in one handy box. Was this released on CD?

    Are these actually any good? What's the general consensus about their quality?

    I've never listened to any of them, personally. Isn't Steven Wilson that Porcupine Tree guy?

    It would take so long to answer this, I'm going to suggest you use the search function.

    And yes, he is "that Porcupine Tree guy".
    I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.

    Each album, remixed by Steven Wilson in stereo an 5.1 surround, was released separately in a CD + blu-ray or CD + DVD package, with the original artwork. (The first album remixed, Close to the Edge, was released 6 years ago!)

    They have been reissued recently with just the CD and the new artwork, but only in Japan. There is no CD box set, AFAIK.

    The Yes LP releases of the remixes he has done of several of their albums are a box set collection released about a year ago. Fragile, CTTE, and TFTO have new-ish Roger Dean covers to set them apart from other LP releases of these albums (5 LPs, 6 records).

    I think they're great. Here are some reviews of Steven's remixes:

    all his remixes stayed true to original source. Pretty much same: yip better, slightly clearer, 5.1 etc but samish. I would have preferred to have these EQ ed to modern standards, with better bass, forwards drums etc. I'm looking at Nazareth Hair of The Dog remaster. Very modern sounding. Excellent job!

    If you’re going to go digital on these, HDTracks has 96/24 in FLAC/WAV/AIFF/ALAC (Apple Lossless) of the “box” for $34.98 and there’s a 15% coupon for first time purchasers. They also run discounts all the time that sometimes go a bit higher. You can easily resample to lower res for portable players if space is an issue but might as well start with best available fidelity. I think they sound great. I like the LPs just a bit better but they’re not exactly portable.

    I will add that Wilson's remixes tend to be on the dry side for most people's taste. I kind of like it though as he's able to create space in between instruments where there wasn't any before, or at least that's the way it sounds to me.

    I've heard 3 Yes albums that Wilson has remixed, Close to The Edge, Fragile and Relayer. I wasn't as bowled over with CTTE or Fragile as I was with Relayer. Relayer was so congested in its earlier releases (vinyl or CD) and Wilson was able to bring out details and nuances that were previously squashed.
