According to Ken Richardson in his "Bitstream" blog on Sound and Vision Online 

Andy Leff (PT mgr)  also tells me that he's now handling King Crimson and "working on getting the entire catalog reissued in 5.1," hopefully with mixes done by . . . Steven Wilson! Currently, Leff and Wilson are "waiting on Robert Fripp [who guested on PT's Fear of a Blank Planet and Nil Recurring] to hear Steven's work on some of the older KC stuff before he gives us the green light to proceed."

Just imagine the likes of Larks' Tongues in Aspic (above right), Red, and Discipline in surround. Oh, baby. —Ken Richardson

Exciting news.

Interesting news. The market for 5.1 remixes has yet to be proven I think. This may be a good test for the viability of it.

I hate it when bands do this, haha. I'm glad I never bought any Genesis CDs before the box sets came out. I'd really like box sets from every band like Genesis... remixed audio, surround mixes and video footage of concerts and interviews, etc.

You know, you can just not buy it.  It remains pure and sacred for you, but those who dig surround can enjoy ITCOTCK in 5.1.

Re: KC this year: Tony Levin just posted this on the 24th on his blog:

"And King Crimson is lumbering toward some musical action. First rehearsals will be in a few months, and I'm hoping it will lead to a lot of music together this year."



So it's looking good for KC 2008.  From Fripp's DGMLive.com we have already gathered that the band will be a five-piece of Fripp, Levin, Belew, Mastellotto, and that drummer from PT.  It looks like no tour till 2009, and that touring will be quite limited and strictly within the US.

The five means five speakers (front left, center, front right, rear left, and rear right). The .1 means a sub-woofer channel.

I could do without these re-releases if they come to pass. I enjoy the current versions, and there's still way too much stuff I haven't heard to start buying albums I already have.

Thanks for that explanation, SF!
 
I'm inclined to agree re not replacing CDs you already have with remastered versions (I don't & won't do it), but I never did replace my old vinyl copy of LTIA with a CD, and intend to one day. I wonder:  will a 5.1 CD still sound better on a conventional, 2 - 3 speaker stereo? Ermm

I wouldn't mind hearing the 5.1 mixes but I suspect you can only really enjoy them on home theater system.  I'd rather just hear them once or twice than actually buy them.  I already have remasters of all the classic KC albums and my music budget and space to keep everything is not unlimited.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
