Does anyone know what's going to be the next release on DVD-Audio? I think I read somewhere a while back that Brian was working on a 5.1 remix of Q2, but not seen anything since.
It would be nice if they could speed up the releasing of DVD-As, as one a year (at the most) is going to take a bloody long time to get the whole collection out, and by then, there might be a different format available.
What's the next one you'd like to see on DVD-A? Q2 would be excellent, as would any of the 70s stuff.

Sadly its all quiet on the Queen DVD-A front...
Its not been mentioned by anyone who matters for a very long time.

I'd love to hear "Queen II" or "A Day at the Races" for the 70's,"A Kind of Magic" or "The Miracle" for the 80's,"Innuendo" for the 90's but most of all "Made in heaven".I hope they will release the whole Queen catalogue in this format sooner or later!In my collection I have all in three formats:vinyl,audio cassette and CD.DVD-A is the next obligatory step.

How about they release every album!! AKOM would be great.
I wish Brian and / or Roger would concentrate on these, and some more live DVDs, rather than putting all their efforts into the poxy musical.
If you don't mind my asking, what's a DVD-A? (I guess you could say that I'm a bit behind my time.) I've heard of them before but I just don't know what they are and it's bugging me.

errr...stupid comp posted twice again.
Queen II would be amazing. Or Sheer Heart Attack.
DVD-Audio (DVD-A) is basically an audio only DVD, which plays on most DVD players in digital 5.1 surround sound, providing you have a Home Cinema amp. So far, only A Night At The Opera and The Game have been released on DVD-A, but both are absolutely amazing! Brian oversees much of the surround sound remixing, and I believe it's quite an intricate process, but once you've heard ANATO in glorious digital surround sound, you'll definitely want more! Queen II would be fantastic, and I really hope some more Queen DVD-As come out soon.
@ KillerQueen:
A DVD-A is a DVD Audio. This means that the albums are remixed in DTS-Surround sound. As long as you have a DVD-Player, a decent receiver (DTS-comatible!) and a nice Surround Sound system, you can hear the albums in a great quality. It sounds even better than the Greatest Hits DVDs because the whole space on the DVD contains music information and no video information.
Queen released A Night at the Opera and The Game so far. And in my opinion they sound simply great and much, much better than the CDs or LPs. Still, there are a bunch of people there who despise this as the songs originally were not originally recorded for surround sound. But since Brian is doing most of the work, I think it is justified to remix them. To me it is a totally new experience.

it seems like Queen are working on News of the World. And I am fine with it. Queen II would be fab, too. Innuendo, as well... Ah well, I would love to have all of em... Maybe the Flash Gordon Soundtrack is another story. Too movie orientated.

That's a very interesting article. I had no idea that some of the master tapes were missing. It could, however, make for some exciting new versions, if they have to use alternative takes to rebuild parts of some of the songs, similar to Coming Soon on the DVD-A of The Game. NOTW would also be one of my favorite choices for a DVD-A remix.
Well, I would say that AKOM would be a likely choice for one of the next DVD-A's, because 5 songs out of that album have been remixed for surround sound already (for GVH2).
However, if they decided not to do DVD-A's with any 4.1 tracks, they'd have to re-remix the tracks already available in surround sound for pure 5.1.
But if they decided not to re-remix these tracks for 5.1, and instead only choose to re-work unremixed tracks, then AKOM, Works, or Miracle would be likely choices for DVD-A's.
I'm sure that they won't go that route though, as I know Brian has had complaints from Queen fans about the 4.1 mixes on the GVH I&II DVD's (along with complaints about the widescreen presentation)
