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” line-up, became one of the fastest selling of the celebrated King Crimson boxed set series – a fitting testament to King Crimson’s second, albeit short-lived, live band.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, rather a lot as it turns out, as a fully utilised Blu-Ray disc and accompanying CD details: Steven 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 pre-eminent Dolby Atmos mix engineer for classic albums and his long-standing association with, and understanding of, the King Crimson catalogue, makes his work with the band especially sought by fans.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CD presents the complete album newly mixed by Steven Wilson and a selection of David Singleton’s Elemental mixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"King Crimson","offers":[{"title":"CD\/BR","offer_id":56841950888316,"sku":"KCXP5014","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/1063\/1727\/files\/image002_c8c93e7e-0805-4011-a4e9-60c3da3a08a8.webp?v=1780645925","url":"https:\/\/revolutionrecords.uk\/products\/islands-2026-dolby-atmos-elemental-mixes","provider":"Revolution Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
