Of note:

On ALL of the 5.1 mix tracks of "Cross-Eyed Mary at about 1:18 in there is an audible "tick" sound in the left front channel...."if he could take it from the money (tick) man"....... this includes the DVD & Blu-ray.

 

Anyone else hear this tick? Was going to read the linked thread but the site is down this morning.

 

All confirmed glitches on Aqualung 40th: Steven Wilson also heard that tick...plus.

Aqualung 40th:
Times are from the beginning of the album:

5.1 mix on both DVD and Blu-ray:

Cross-Eyed Mary glitch - At about 7:53
Cross-Eyed Mary - At about 10:42 the last few notes are erroneously repeated at the very end of the track
My God glitch - At about 27:45
Wind Up glitch - At about 41:27 on the Blu-ray (At about 41:24 on the DVD)

Original stereo mix on Blu-ray:

My God several severe glitches - Starting at about 24:23, then 25:31 and onward.

Here is Steven Wilson's response: 11-15-2012

Thank you for this. I just listened. The 3 glitches on the 5.1 mix are annoying, though perhaps because I'm a seasoned vinyl listener, and they remind me of vinyl ticks which I'm so used to, they don't annoy me as much as the TAAB glitches - still no excuse of course. The repeating section at the end of Cross Eyed Mary is just the very tail end of the reverberating final chord, and only heard at significant volume. Though again that's not very good and I'm not happy that it happened.

The glitches on the original stereo transfer are indeed horrible.

I will mention to EMI and Ian these issues, I very much doubt they are aware of them.

They must not bother me as I've never noticed the 20 or 30 times I've played it so far.

 

+1, and I am usually quite picky (at least if you ask my wife )

 

I really like the quad version of the album. Especially side 2. The vocals on side 2 don't sound rough, squeely or overbearing on the quad. That's the main problem i had with side 2 and the quad album fixes this. Hymn 43(quad) is one of my fave songs on the album now but the album version is probably in the bottom 3 songs on the album, mainly due to the vocals. Side 2 does have the more simpler/repetitive and less enjoyable compositions though eg My god, Hymn 43, but the quads of these also come up better. Hymn 43 is a complete different version with a lot more piano and bass and less guitar which gives it that prog feel rather than the hard rock sounding version on the original album
