Islands - 2026 Dolby Atmos & Elemental Mixes CD/Blu-ray

King Crimsons fourth album, 1971s Islandswas, for many years, somewhat underappreciated in Crimson history regarded simply asone of those albums between undisputed classicsIn the Court of the Crimson King and Larks Tongues in Aspic. In more recent times,the album has been reassessed, a process that began with the 2010 new stereo and 5.1 mixes undertaken by Steven Wilson andRobert Fripp and continued with the inclusions of The Letters and Sailors Tale and the title track in the 20142021 lineups live sets.This shift in attitude towards the album from listeners old and new alike, was confirmed when the 27 disc Sailors Tales boxed set,which featured extensive live recordings by the Islands lineup, became one of the fastest selling of the celebratedKing Crimson boxed set series a fitting testament to King Crimsons second, albeit shortlived, live band.Well, rather a lot as it turns out, as a fully utilised BluRay disc and accompanying CD detailsSteven Wilson has returned to the album for a transformative Dolby Atmos mix.This work also led to new stereo and 5.1 mixes being prepared. Steven is regarded as the preeminentDolby Atmos mix engineer for classic albums and his longstanding association with, and understanding of, the King Crimson catalogue, makes his work with the band especially sought by fans.The CD presents the complete album newly mixed by Steven Wilson and a selection of David Singletons Elemental mixes.
