The following news concerning Steve Hackett of Genesis/solo fame is too interesting to not let you in on it (if you haven’t already seen it). Preparations have begun for the collected set of Hackett solo works from his Charisma label years, roughly between 1975 through 1983. This box, expected to be called Premonitions, will host fourteen discs. There will be six titles, all of them remixed by the the wizardry of Steven Wilson, who has previously worked his audio magic on other classic albums.

The first four albums will be presented in new 5,1 Surround Sound mixes. Two of the titles were true multi-track remixes, while the other two conversions were upmixes (because there were no multi-track tapes to be found). As of right now, there is little information other than what is here, or found elsewhere.

The interesting questions revolve around the release of fourteen discs. With only six albums in the Charisma catalog, there would be the obvious six CDs of the original albums, and the accompanying 5.1 Surround remixes of four of those. This brings the disc count to ten, leaving four more discs. Perhaps there will be bonus tracks, live selections, etc that will make up the remaining four discs. [This has since been disclosed. See track-list below!]

Premonitions is planned for an October 2015 release via Universal. (Amazon UK has a page up with October 16 as the actual date.)

More info as it becomes available. (Thanks to David P for the heads up!)
