Real Gone's burgeoning relationship with Sony bears more fruit. If you were disappointed with last year's big box set of Eye In The Sky and only wanted the hi-res mixes on the included Blu-ray Audio disc, now it's going to be released by itself as a standalone. This is the WAN to get:

Description
Engineer for Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, producer of Al Stewart’s Year of the Cat, and bandleader of The Alan Parsons Project among many other credits, Alan Parsons has put the “studio” in the term “studio musician” throughout his long and multi-faceted career in the music business. Now, we at Real Gone Music are proud to present on bluray DVD one of The Alan Parsons Project’s greatest albums, the muliti-layered masterpiece Eye in the Sky. The group’s sixth studio album, Eye in the Sky was written by Eric Woolfson (who passed December 2, 2009) and Alan Parsons. A conceptual musical meditation on a variety of belief systems—the album's title refers to casino surveillance, earth-circling satellites, and the all-seeing eye of the Egyptian God Horus—Eye in the Sky has proved both timely and timeless, a remarkably prescient view of art, religion, politics, and culture for the 21st century. Originally released as part of the 35th Anniversary Boxset (released worldwide in December 2017), the 5.1 Surround Sound mix was engineered by Alan Parsons in April 2017 at Capitol Studios LA and is an auditory experience like no other. Says Parsons, “It was a wonderful experience to hear all the multitrack tape tracks from Eye in The Sky again—and for the first time in nearly 35 years, in their raw unmixed form. Hearing the various elements, performances, and moments of magic that were selected for the final mixes of the songs was an amazing experience... Audiophiles will be pleased to hear the brand new 5.1 Surround Sound mix, which I am extremely pleased with incidentally, and also a Hi Def stereo version taken from the original analog stereo master tape which was recorded simultaneously alongside the digital mix”. Eclectic and visionary, Eye in the Sky covers a variety of musical and thematic bases, and is one of The Alan Parson’s Project platinum-selling albums. Now it can be heard in a new, fully immersive way.

Tracklist
1. Sirius
2. Eye In The Sky
3. Children Of The Moon
4. Gemini
5. Silence And I
6. You’re Gonna Get Your Fingers Burned
7. Psychobabble
8. Mammagamma
9. Step By Step
10. Old And Wise

Excellent! Pre-ordered. Now if we can only get the Steve Wilson 5.1 Rush remix then I would be extremely delighted.

I noticed Amazon has gotten this Alan Parsons Eye In The Sky blu-ray version kind of mixed up with the movie Eye In The Sky. They really should separate it out from the movie of the same name.

Yes, it's confusing. But if you click on this specific link, it will be for the Blu-ray Audio:

The first thing I checked was to see if Steven Wilson did the 5.1 mix.

And then I remembered, "Oh yeah, Alan Parsons."

The stereo is excellent on the Blu-ray, nice alternative to the OOP Classic HDAD.

Hey my friend, long time no hear. The 5.1 remix was nice and warm and worth it's price under $20.00 but not a standout as one might perceive coming from Alan Parsons.

I wouldn't say I was underwhelmed because that would be to strong but it wasn't as immersive I would have imagined. So as a singular purchase I am happy but if I would have bought the box with the focus on this I would have been disappointed.
