Relayer’ is confirmed as the third release in the series of SW remixed Yes albums to be issued in 5.1 & new stereo high-resolution audio configuration. ‘Relayer’ was the band’s 7th studio album, released in 1974, and contains just 3 long pieces, including the ambitious 22 minute Gates of Delirium.
Mixed by Steven Wilson & released with the full approval of the band, ‘Relayer’ will be available in CD/DVD-A digipack & CD/Blu-Ray mini LP gatefold editions. These are available to pre-order now from Headphone Dust, to be released on 3rd November.
Both editions will also contain the original album mix in high-resolution & bonus audio material, full details of which will be announced shortly.
Restored artwork approved by Roger Dean & new sleevenotes by Sid Smith complete the package, the release of which coincides with the 40th anniversary of the album’s original late 1974 appearance.

Never heard of this group but what intrigued me was that this is a DVD-Audio release. Is it a true MPL DVD Audio release, the website doesn't give any clairfication, just says it has a 5.1 surround track, so am I to assume it is actually just at best a high rez, probabaly 48Khz/16bit like the old Dual Discs had? Just suprised me that anybody was even still releasing in that format.

There have been quite a number of true MLP DVD~As produced in the last few years but sadly, they don't have the capability of holding all the extras contained on the BD~A discs.
Yes is progressive rock and like the Emerson, Lake and Palmer DVD~As released by SONY (who NEVER release DVD~As) is a matter of taste.

Just the same treatment as was for previous 2 releases (Close to the Edge and The Yes Album) both editions CD/BD-A or CD/DVD-A contain 96/24 mutlichannnel and 192/24 stereo mixes only BD-A has more content not available to the DVD-A. Nevertheless CD/DVD-A has more stiff (digipack) packaging while CD/BD-A has plain Mini-LP treatment. Booklets are the same. Datawise - all hi-res content is pretty much identical as well.

As Rammiepie says, Yes are a progressive rock group from the early 70s. Quite a different style to Emerson Lake and Palmer, though.
There are already two other Yes albums released on DVD-A (MLP PCM), those being "The Yes Album" and "Close to the Edge" - both in my opinion to be recommended.
I've never really got my head around what Dual Discs are, but I have several double-sided hybrid DVD-As, which are 24 bit and 48Khz, 88.1Khz, 96Khz and 192Khz depending upon the disc.
Tongue firmly placed in cheek now.
DVD-A is a dead music format, just like SACD. The only difference being that DVD-A is deader (or should that be more dead) than SACD! It's great to see more non-orchestral/classical music being released on either of these dead formats. It's been quite a good year though for DVD-A.

The last YES dvd-audio would not play on my player. The earlier one (Close To The Edge) does though. No more dvd-audio disks for me, since I can only assume future releases won't play on my machine either.
Anyway, the Blu-ray is a better choice even if the packaging is substandard compared to the dvd-audio (which is why I bought the dvd-audio).
