2024 SURROUND RELEASES

[SharpKnight]

Wow, I swear I had seen on Instagram that they remixed the album in Atmos.

This is Amazon link Crack the Skye (15th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) [Blu-ray] https://a.co/d/1FuonUI

Which I had saved and was contemplating a long time only on the basis that they remixed the album in Atmos. It's just animations on the Blu-Ray.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[SHB]

I sure did
I enjoyed the mix and graphics

Found a CD Blu Ray

We were talking about this release some weeks ago on this thread. I bought it based on @beerking's favourable review and my previous appreciation for the band, but I haven't had the time to listen to it yet!

I found a copy with shipping for $19. I'm really digging Absolute Elsewhere. Just got it today. Thanks to the QQ Forum, I gave it a shot. I am so dang glad I didn't over look this.

There will be an Atmos download of The BIG Finish Live as well.

THE LIVE-Big Finish is due Sept 6th and that is in 5.1 surround.
I hope IIA will sell a Atmos download, they have been good about it so far. @sjcorne . IAA SHOP

Sweet thanks for the heads up.

Thank you Jonathan, I just purchased. I like how this downloaded. Part 1 and Part 2 instead of clicking on all the individual tracks.
Is Mr. Big- Ten, going to be an Atmos release?

Tim Sidwell (who does all Marillion's concert videos) just posted the message below on Facebook.
In other words: the follow up to the BR of the 2023 Marillion Weekend (this one) is nearly done and is set for release in November/December 2024. As per all previous BR releases, this will almost certainly have a 5.1 mix by Michael Hunter. Don't hold your hopes up for Atmos.
As you can see, this is D2C, but the first BR of the 2023 weekend got a retail release later (but with less content IIRC).

The Remains of the Weekend, with a 5.1 mix, is now for sale at the band‘s website: https://marillion.com/shop/dvd/racket119BD.htm

Received today.
Listening now in Dolby Atmos

This is a heavy metal lovers surround mix that will make your blood purr with total enjoyment.

Don't remember a mix as good as this on, really heavy rock before.

Wait who mixed it?

The one and only Bruce Soord

You got me all excited until I sampled the album on YouTube and the vocals kicked in...

Yes, I had to put my dislike of the metal growl to one side, to enjoy this release.
Luckily, it's not too overpowering for these delicate ears.

 

[Thonolan]

I'm lucky I have loved death metal for pretty much all my life!

But I love prog even more, so this release feels like a godsend. Awesome combination. Mine is on the way!

I totally agree. Not a fan of metal growl and it's not overpowering at all. It doesn't dominate the Atmos mix

 

[srbjab]

I'll have to try it again. I started listening but when the growling started I just wasn't in the mood to put up with it.

Yes, really heavy stuff. But well done. You have to be in the right mood. But, then ..... Documentation is interesting too.
But if you own the art book please take a look here https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/fo...-all-gates-open-soundtrack.36679/#post-812472 , if this is only my CD. Probably it's common. Thanks.

I can imagine it's not really accessible stuff unless you're really into death metal. Because this isn't "somewhat pretty" death metal like Opeth used to play, this is ugly, extreme stuff directly influenced by early 90's US death metal and also a bit by the Finnish scene I'd say. I love that even when it's pure, unadulterated death metal without proggy/ambient elements, but I can easily understand why it can be a total turn-off for many.

I'm very, very curious about Bruce Soord's mixes. The stereo mix/master (not by him) is horribly brickwalled (I usually like the work of Arthur Rizk as producer and guitarist/composer - his own band Sumerlands is a fabulous take on melodic, classic heavy metal IMO, but as a mastering engineer, you'd better stay away from him). I expect a much more dynamic sound from Bruce, and of course a stellar surround presentation.

WOW! One of my all time favorite!!! Too bad there is no stand alone Blu-ray because 100€ is way too much I am willing to spend on this! Typical "Fancy Box Rip-Off"!

Oh no. Grobschnitt's Solar Music Live in Atmos locked up in a big box set. Mega-super frustrating.
