Steven Wilson’s remixes of the LPs "Octopus" and "The Power and the Glory" made a big splash, and so will this: Wilson’s new remixes of nine songs from the band’s first three LPs ("Giant," "Acquiring the Taste" and "Three Friends") plus the unreleased pre-debut song "Freedom’s Child" (produced by none other than Tony Visconti). The nine songs are the only ones on those LPs for which multi-tracks are known to exist, and the liner notes feature reflections by Wilson, Visconti and the band about those heady early days of this brilliant prog-rock band’s career. Here, on CD, double gatefold 180-gram vinyl or CD/Blu-Ray (featuring the new mixes in 5.1 surround and 96/24 PCM as well as animated videos, instrumental mixes and flat transfers of the three LPs’ original mixes) are "Giant," "Nothing at All," "Why Not," "The House, the Street, the Room," "Peel the Paint," "Schooldays" and more! Soulfood.
