Not sure about a CD, but this seems to say Blu-Ray and DVD-A for this release? Blu-Ray for "Metal Machine Music"? Egads!
From Anti-Music.com:

Lou Reed's Metal Machine Trio will embark on a UK and European tour on April 17th, when they perform what is described as “A Night of Deep Noise.”
Featuring Lou Reed (processed & unprocessed guitars & mini continuum), Ulrich Krieger (tenor sax & live-electronics), and Sarth Calhoun (live processing & continuum fingerboard), the Metal Machine Trio concerts, although influenced and inspired by Reed’s seminal 1975 album 'Metal Machine Music', won’t duplicate the original album, but will instead opt for entirely new unique music, noise and soundscapes.

To coincide with the UK & European tour dates, Lou Reed will release a newly re-mastered edition of the original 1975 'Metal Machine Music' album on 180 gram double gatefold vinyl, Audio DVD & Blu-ray. Each format features a stereo reproduction of the original quadraphonic master, playable on home theatre systems.

The MM3 European tour dates include Cambridge Junction (April 17), Oxford O2 Academy (April 18), Ether Festival - Royal Festival Hall, London (April 19), La Cigale, Paris (April 21), Domino Festival - Ancienne Belgique, Brussels (April 22), DR Koncerthuset, Copenhagen (April 24), Sentrum Scene, Oslo (April 26), Ole Bull Scene, Bergen (April 27), Festival Alternatilla - Teatre Principal de Palma, Mallorca (April 30).

If Lou Reed/MM3 plays US dates, I'll be there!

(Not counting on it ever happening.)

MMM in hi res may be the biggest WHY?? in R&R history......

It would sound great in a quadrophonic or 5.1 mix.

I don't know about an April release date; it looks like all these remasters are already available to order through LouReed.com

Here's more-looks like mid-February. The website does not have it yet-but you can pre-order it in 4 forms.
The DVD-A ($18)
The Blu-Ray ($23)
The vinyl + Blu-Ray ($43)
The vinyl + DVD-A ($39)

Rock iconoclast Lou Reed next month will issue a digitally remastered edition of his oft-derided 1975 guitar-feedback opus Metal Machine Music on a trio of audiophile formats, and mark the occasion by taking his Metal Machine Trio to Europe for a brief tour billed as “A Night of Deep Noise.”

The remaster, which ships in mid-February, will feature the original 64-minute slab of noise pressed on 180-gram double-gatefold vinyl, DVD Audio and Blu-ray. All three formats include “a stereo reproduction of the original quadrophonic master,” while the the two digital-disc editions also include discrete four-channel mixes. All three editions end, as the original vinyl version did, in an infinite locked groove.

Reed, in a press statement, observes:

“The original. The one that started it all. Noise rock. Industrial rock. Underground for years, it survived on the power of the idea. No key. No vocals. No set rhythm. Feedback forever. … Faithfully re-mastered to the last squeal. The out of print ‘Quad’ has been replicated for all formats including a perfect vinyl version playable on your stereo turntable with the original rear sections moved to the center of the front left speakers. It’s worth getting a turntable to hear this. I myself bought a Linn to celebrate the great sound and am playing it through Wilson Watts and Puppies. Hear it as we did on Scott Hull’s Duntechs. Straight from the original Bob Ludwig tapes. An act of love for an act of sound.”

In April, the Metal Machine Trio — featuring Reed on “processed and unprocessed” guitars and mini-continuum, Ulrich Krieger on tenor sax and live electronics and Sarth Calhoun on live processing and continuum fingerboard — heads to Europe to play nine concerts. The group won’t attempt to replicate the original album; instead it will “opt for entirely new, unique music, noise and soundscapes.”

Well, there you go!
I have so little money I can't consider it, but I'd think about the Blu-Ray if I ever got a player. Which I don't have plans for right now.

I still say, why? A number of Reed's LP's would make sense in Hi-res, but MMM??????

I'm with ya Geff-it's the equivalent of remastering a piece of ham (the Hormel Mix). Or worse. But it was genius in it's own anti-music right.

Years ago, I saw this CD and contemplated getting it just for fun. But I have a feeling I'd get annoyed after a while and probably never listen to the whole thing.

Think of 2 hours of Chicago's Free Form Guitar but even noisier..........

Oh, well it's not as bad as I thought.

Oh wait, yeah it is.

Or Neil Young's Arc cd minus the vocal parts.

Positively brilliant. I'm in for all formats.

Having a Quad system back in the 70s, I bought the Quad version of MMM back in the day. It looks like the DVD-A will have the quad mix. If you want to clear out a party, put this on. (Although at real low volumes, it does work as ambient music.)

This is hilarious. Think I will release an album of vacuum cleaner noise.

I can think of at least one ICEr who'd buy it...

I am stunned that this is on DVD-A !

There are far better CDs that deserve a release on a higher fidelity format than this.

It has taken 2 years for Lou and his hardworking manager Tom to accomplish this release. When the Zeitkratzer performance of Metal Machine Music came out a while back, I noticed the comments Lou made in the liner notes, wishing others could have heard the quad mix he did. So I sent an email suggesting a dvd-a release of the quad mix, and that immediately got his interest. And I sent along a DTS CD of a conversion from the Quad LP (done by vector_x, Cai Campbell), which he loved. And so Lou and Tom worked hard to release this themselves.

There certainly are rumors that this was just a contractual obligation, or that Lou wasn't serious, but Lou has stated several times that he was serious when he created this and released it. I find it to be brilliant. It's very different from what many may expect music to be, but for the open minded that can tolerate it and get past the surface, there really is so much going on in the wall of noise that makes it a fascinating listen. The quad mix brings it to a new level, it surrounds you. No longer is it just a wall of sound, it's a sea of sound, with different things coming at you from all directions surrounding you. It really is quite a musical experience.

I can't wait to hear the blu ray when it arrives.

The dvd version will not be dvd-a, Sony wouldn't allow them to release a dvd-a. I'm not sure what digital streams will be on the dvd version of this, but will report back when my copy arrives.

Now SACD releases of his early solo period ("Lou Reed" through Coney Island Baby) would interest me & my wallet.

It can't sound any worse DVD-A/Blu-Ray.

It's still a great party killer.
