A Bad Think - new album "Watch Your Mind" out March 7 (Atmos & Auro-3D mixes by Dave Way)

[sjcorne]

The first single "Midnight Sun" dropped last Friday on IAA (the MKV file has the music video synced to the Atmos mix): https://immersiveaudioalbum.com/product/midnight-sun-a-bad-think-atmos-mkv-mp4/



I was delivered 96K ADMs, so for the full album there will be two audio options: the standard 48K TrueHD/Atmos and 96K 11.1 (7.1.4) Auro-3D.

Sweet. Will each song have video?

Nice, pretty powerful song.

No, there are only videos for the two tracks being released as singles ahead of the full album launch. The second single ("Bad Weather") drops next Friday, February 21.

I don't know the first thing about them but that was a compelling track ... looks like IAA will get more of my money when the album drops.

A Bad Think is basically Michael Marquat. At one time he played with A Flock Of Seagulls. He has several solo albums out now in Atmos and Auro3D.

I might add that Lifelike is streaming on Apple too, but I can't find Cottonwood here in EU for some reason.

For the first time, I've also done a video breakdown of one of the singles ("Bad Weather") which is on YouTube and embedded in the press release article. I'm curious to hear what people think of this format, as it's something we may do more of going forward (I know I could probably work on my delivery, but for a first attempt by someone more used to writing than being on-camera I think it isn't too bad).

I haven't had time to check out your YT video on headphones yet; but I felt you did a really nice job here and hope you'll do more in the future. Especially for titles with unusual mixing choices and/or mixes you feel really stand apart from others.
Your delivery seemed fine as far as I'm concerned
