New Robert Rich album is now available as a FLAC download from Surroundmusic.One – and actually, I forgot to mention thereʼs a new Kid Arrow release too from the very site since last weekend. Also, UKʼs live recording Curtain Call is due in less than month.

Fantastic finish this week! First, Lori Liebermanʼs album from 2016 (mix by Bob Clearmountain) is already available as a 5.1 FLAC download from IAA. Then, some six weeks from now, a concert video by Frost* (mix by Rob Reed) arrives, closely followed by four individual Quadio releases by four different artists.

Two titles on BD-A were announced recently, but first an evidence that we can expect three King Crimson Atmos mixes by SW on physical media pretty soon:
https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/forums/threads/king-crimson-in-atmos.33420/post-696172ABC's The Lexicon Of Love is now finally scheduled for an August release, however the blu-ray comes as a part of a big vinyl set.

Serge Gainsbourg's 1976 album L'homme à tête de chou hits the shelves in June as a 2CD+BD-A digipak and the Atmos mix can be previewed online both on Apple and Tidal.

Serge Gainsbourg's 1976 album L'homme à tête de chou

LOL at the instrumental mixes because Gainsbourg’s lyrics (especially on this album) are absolutely incredible!

Hope the Atmos mix is good, because this a Top Ten album of la chanson française.

EDIT: released 23rd of June, preorder on Amazon France

 

[CINERAMAX]

The Camel news fiasco makes me declare this the shittiest of surround music years, sorry with those of you which might disagree but I am really really blue over this debacle.

 

[haikubass]

Itʼs doubly joyful to announce a new title, if itʼs a consecutive album in spatial format. Feathers & Bones by Rodriguez Jr. is out on June 14th and so far is only available from Grobi.tv, but I guess we can expect it wherever his previous BD-A Blisss was.
Streaming Atmos preview already on Apple or Tidal.

Great news Haiky, finally a physical option.
Unfortunately, Grobi.tv don't deliver to the UK

So I'm searching all the other outlets to see if they have it listed.
Not had any luck so far...

 

[RustyStatic]

It looks like he's on a new label, too—so I'm not sure if we can expect the same rollout we saw with Bliss... let's update it here if/when we see it somewhere other than Grobi.tv!

So strange... the album came out on Friday and there's mention of the blu ray with Atmos mix in a number of places, including his website, and there are no links to purchase it anywhere. Just links to the vinyl.

I replied to his album release announcement on Twitter asking where it could be purchased; will respond if I get anything in reply..
