Always nice to get surprise Christmas presents in the mail! One of my audiophile friends sent me the new blu-ray reissue of Close To The Edge which contains new stereo and 5.1 remixes by Steven Wilson and also a direct transfer of the original mix from the 1972 stereo master. Sounds AWESOME!

I might have to track that down.  The few audio blus I have are great.  I'm far from a strong ear for such things (years of loud headphone use will do that) but even I can hear the difference.  Can think of a whole slew of titles I wish would get this treatment.  As an aside I was in Rockaway one time where they were telling of someone's friend snagging a test pressing of Closer To The Edge for 500 bucks.  Apparently it was the bargain and find of the year for this guy.

Nice!

Couldn't resist this on vinyl. Not metal but I love this song.
