Great value at 6 discs (4 x CD, 2 x DVD) for £30...remix of original album is top notch, interesting collection of rarities, live show is very enjoyable, still to play the DVD discs to be honest but there's plenty there to enjoy when I do. A very good collection & well thought out package for Tull fans. 5 stars.

The 40e “Stormwatch” 5.1 bookset finishes-up the “folk rock” trilogy — or does it?
The 40e “Stormwatch” Force 10 Edition picks-up where Tull left off last spring (2018) with these RE (reissues) as part of their late-70s “folk-rock” trilogy. These particular cd/dvd 5.1 bookset REs began with the (now OOP - and first in the “trilogy”) 40e “Songs from the Wood” in 2017; and that was followed-up with 5.1 bookset, the 40e RE of “Heavy Horses” (new shoes edition) in 2018 (my personal favourite) — all mixed in the now familiar, and (always) greatly-anticipated, surround-sound glory, that multi-talented (and now married) Steven Wilson brings to bear on the projects with which he chooses to participate.Mathew L.The 40e “Stormwatch” 5.1 bookset finishes-up the “folk rock” trilogy — or does it?

Simply put, after multiple “play-throughs“ of ALL the studio, 5.1 recordings associated with THIS release, it is evident to me that Steven Wilson’s (surround) soundscape-approach should become the standard by which all other audio engineers follow (more or less - MORE than less) in order to guarantee (some) conformity for consumers (as to what to expect) when labels “market” their (MUSIC) product as discrete, surround-sound.
(For the record, Ian, these 5.1 booksets are quite a RE, fan-friendly package!)
Lastly (with this go ‘round), not only does one get the original album in Wilson’s GLORIOUS, 5.1 surround-sound presentation on DVD1, but on DVD2, one gets 65+ MORE minutes of 24/96 dts 5.1 surround-sound via 13-associated recordings from the “Stormwatch” era - ALSO (all) remixed by Steven in 2.0 AND 5.1 surround.
Wow!
Quick follow-up: Ian Anderson considers “Broadsword and the Beast” to be the actual “last album” in the “folk-rock” “trilogy” (Ian’s words from a new, as of yet unreleased, Tull book called: “The Ballad of Jethro Tull”).
So, for 2020 and beyond: along with an overdue, 5.1 re-RE of the “TAAB” cd/dvd 5.1 bookset (b/c of post-mix audio-glitches never fully-resolved with enough replacement, 5.1 DVDs from EMI before their dissolution), a “TAAB” 5.1 RE with extras or a “TAAB”/“TAAB II” (optical) 5.1 BOOKSET (similar to the 2012-duo vinyl boxset of same) would be greatly appreciated; and of course “Benefit” is deserving of (and has not yet received) this super-deluxe edition cd/dvd 5.1 bookset, RE treatment.
Steven has done wonders with Tull’s back-catalogue - even finding treasures never before heard (let alone in surround-sound), let alone released (e.g. “Old Aces Die Hard”) — and he’s always breathed new-life into ALL of these tracks (e.g. 5.1 extras on “Aqualung” *adapted edition* RE circa 2016 - an EP’s worth of era-extras including “Life’s a Long Song” in discrete surround)
Given this, there is hope that SW will find time to (at least) surround-mix the last of the “classic-era” Tull catalogue - an early 40e “Broadsword & the Beast” cd/dvd 5.1 RE bookset (late fall 2021 release) before he moves on — simply based on this breaking news!
...which leaves the “Crest of a Knave” (1987) era album that did garner Tull in 1989, an overdue Grammy!
*As another aside: Steven Wilson deserves an Immersive Audio (formerly Surround Sound) Grammy for his work on the Tull (5.1) canon - a going concern for the better part of the last decade. In particular, last year’s “HEAVY HORSES” (new shoes edt.) 5.1 was “overlooked,” but by far the best of the 2018 5.1 (IA) Grammy-lot imho; and that’s not meant to take anything from the 2018 IA Grammy recipient, who was properly rewarded and also deserving!
So, call it “taking one for the fans,” but what Steven Wilson could do with “Crest ...” (esp. in surround), or better yet ALL of the albums up to and including “Crest...,” boggles the mind and tempts the imagination.
In any case: “Thanks,” to Ian and Steven!
My booksets are safely, but prominently stowed (see 1st pic) in my “surround-sound” archives, but I do wish more had access to these, as when they do go OOP (quite quickly in most cases), they command ridiculous ask$ in the secondary and tertiary markets. The proper thing to do imho, by the publisher (Rhino/Parlophone) would be to order another production run!
