The only one I've been interested in hearing is a 5.1 DVD of Residents-Eskimo that I've had for 14 years (which also has a 2 channel mix). Maybe I'll build a home theatre one of these years.
I finally did build the home theatre a couple years ago, and I've purchased several of the SW surround mixes (King Crimson, Xtc, Roxy Music, Hawkwind). I'm not enough of a purist to care about the original mixes, and I quite enjoy these. I don't like his solo work, but that has nothing to do with his technical abilities. If anyone doesn't like their classics remixed, then don't buy them and move on. Nothing ruins a party like puerile snobbery.
