COMMENT         : XTC’s 1984 album The Big Express will be reissued as a CD+blu-ray edition with new Dolby Atmos, 
                  5.1 and stereo mixes by Steven Wilson.

                  This is the seventh in the ongoing series of expanded XTC reissues and as with the others it 
                  includes a wealth of audio including four album remixes by Wilson (Atmos, 5.1, stereo and instrumental), 
                  the whole album in demo form, plus extra demos and bonus tracks.

                  The Atmos Mix is actually a first for XTC since up until now the surround mixes have been 5.1 only, 
                  so that’s good news.

                  Described as “a neglected classic of its era”, The Big Express made extensive use of new technology, 
                  at the time, with Linn-Drum programming (alongside drummer Peter Phipps), E-mu Emulator and other synths.
                  It was a post-punk concept album about growing up in an industrial town. “The Big Express is the closest 
                  we ever came to recording a ‘concept’ album. It’s full of Swindon and deep seams of life there, that run 
                  through myself, Colin, and Dave, (Terry too of course). It’s populated by members of our families, our hopes
                  and dreams. The things we wished for, or feared, a stew of memories.” – Andy Partridge
