Aqualung Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a

Though this is ostensibly an "audio only" release, there is minimal video content on the Blu-ray, encoded via AVC. It's simple things like an animated screen featuring the original album cover with superimposed titles of whatever song is playing, or in the case of the bonus tracks, various (sometimes weird and wacky) promo pictures of Ian and the boys. Nothing earthshaking, but it looks fine.



Aqualung Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  5.0 of 5

With the almost overwhelming choice of audio options on this set (see above for full details), there's something for just about everyone here. But a great place to start, just to hear how far Steven Wilson has taken the original source elements, is to go directly to the flat transfer of the original album stereo mix on the Blu-ray. It sounds manifestly better than it ever did on LP or CD (not to state the obvious) simply by dint of the fact it's presented at 96/24 LPCM stereo, but then take a moment to breathe and dive into any of Wilson's new mixes for a revelatory experience. The original mix of Aqualung was hampered by a muddy, inchoate midrange and really flat out wimpy low end, and those problems have been completely eliminated by Wilson. I personally preferred the uncompressed LPCM 5.1 mix to even the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix, and Wilson has done an exceptional job of staying true to the original stereo separation of the album while introducing some fantastic surround elements. Ian's megaphone moments in "Aqualung" are a prime example. Wilson has also addressed the overuse of reverb in the rear channels on the original Quadrophonic mix by Robin Black, and while there is definitely still a wetter sound than perhaps even Anderson wanted (the interview with engineer John Burns indicates he really was going for an overly "dry" sound here), it's manifestly better in Wilson's approach than in the original. Whole new levels of clarity and precision can be heard, and the filigreed instrumentation has never sounded more inviting. Even the new stereo mix is something of a surprise, with a really beautifully modulated midrange and impressive new low end. Wilson has more or less mimicked the original stereo separation here, though things aren't quite as widely splayed as before (the guitar solo in "Locomotive Breath" is a prime example).
