[The Rang]

Wow, they’re usually fast coming to Canada but I don’t even have a shipment notice yet.

 

[Mesozoic Mike]

Mine is in the USA.

Steven Wilson has never impressed me. I just don't get why he's permitted to do this stuff. Maybe he's in the same category as Giles Martin. Anyway, I give them a pass.

You don't like this new ABC mix? What are the issues you have with The Lexicon of Love?

That is outright heresy on this website with this crowd.

Leaving the UK is all I know about my order as well. I got the notice from SDE on Monday.

Or anyone really. Even the two channel guys at SHF dig his mixes (mostly).

Surely you jest!

Maybe you’d care to elaborate with your mix preferences in general; and some specific titles (engineers) you like?

Said the project lead of the Silverline DVD-A surround series.

At present, Steve Wilson is THE most sought after remixer in the industry. And even his ATMOS remixes also include a separate 5.1 remix [not a downsampling of the ATMOS track] as well as stereo. Absolutely NO complaints HERE!

On a WELL CALIBRATED SYSTEM, his remixes are, IMO, SONIC MIRACLES!

To each his own.

God dammit, have I fallen through a wormhole and ended up in an alternate universe?

AGAIN?

Oh dear... Maybe he'll be replaced with an AI (They know all about music and how to mix it )

It’s not April Fool’s Day all over again, is it? Surely you jest, Pedro…. right? Right?

Ultima IV was my favorite. Oh how I loved my Apple //e. (I have an emulator now, but every-so-often I toy with buying a used one.)

Back to this release... mine just got out of customs. We’ll see if it can make it two states over by tomorrow like USPS seems to think.

Been listening to this a bit more on streaming in recent days. Kind of a shame I wasn’t more open to this when it came out.

As I listen now, musically/instrumentally speaking, I have a much better appreciation for it.

Ultima IV was a better game, but U3 was like formative for me. It was the first RPG/Adventure game that I played all the way through in one chunk of time (like 3 weeks, with a friend of mine).

Just checked mine; today it arrived in the US and, in fact, was released from customs about 10 minutes ago. Bonus: all this happened in Chicago! USPS says I will have it Saturday. Joy!

Oh man, the Ultima and Wizardry series... those were the days!

Sorry, but you're not allowed to say this. Prepare for ban.

But really, what drove me to listen to his mixing work was mainly due to his new mixes of old albums. There's a lot that can be done to improve or provide a different experience in a new mix of an album, even if that mix is faithful to the original release! It offers a far more exciting experience than can be provided with a remaster, in my opinion.

ABC ON TIDAL.

How so ? As someone who has heard a few of Stevens atmos mixes on a state of the art L’Acoustic rig at their HQ in Highgate London I can tell you as a sound engineer of some 37 years I have not heard anything like what Steven does to some classic albums (and even to his own) anywhere else. His ability to mix the album as it was in stereo and then unpack it into a sonic bubble of wonder whilst retaining its original mix joy is unparalleled in my opinion. I’m intrigued as to where you listen to your mixes and how you’ve come to this conclusion. I suspect most people don’t have the advantages of a decent well calibrated Atmos rig to fully appreciate these things. This is the dichotomy of our times …again like old quad (of which i am a collector like most people seem to be here) Atmos in its truest form is a beast seldom tasted by the general public outside of headphones or sound bars.
