Alan Parsons Project "Pyramid" super-deluxe box set (Atmos & 5.1 BluRay) Aug. 24, 2024

[colsky]

To quote Paul Sinclair from the SDE website:

Cooking Vinyl (who are releasing Pyramid) have said that they are doing a standalone of Pyramid, although I don’t know when.

Just listened to Paul Sinclair's overview of recent and upcoming box set reissues. Very happy to hear 2 things: Alan Parson's Pyramid will be getting a standalone blu-ray (release date TBD) and he did acknowledge that big box sets that mix analog vinyl with digital surround content are amongst the least popular with many fans. I will never understand the thinking behind reissues that mix the two technologies, other than greed or ignorance. It simply forces many fans to purchase a lot of content they will not listen to whichever camp they fall into. Having said that, the big Pyramid box looks gorgeous - but is massive overkill for this particular album, for me.

Superb interview! Thanks for sharing, JP.

Confident that Alan will remix I, ROBOT in Dolby ATMOS so worth the long wait!

Fantastic. Just finished watching this. Thanks to Beato and you. I guess I've got some AP coming up before I go to bed.

Oh wow, that is simply incredible. AP is such a monumental force, yet seems such a humble and approachable guy.

Wow--I haven't watched Beato in a while. His interview style has gotten a bit more subdued, and his production values have really jumped.

They say backordered now WTF?
I’ll wait for a price reduction or the stand alone.

Anyone know if the Dolby Atmos mix will be available on streaming platforms? Earlier this year it was alluded to that APP Atmos mixes would start appearing on Apple Music, I wonder if this will be one of them?

Mine has arrived with the signed cover print - on to the mountain it goes

Yes, that was a great interview. A lot of excellent insights from Parsons. Beato is also highly knowledgeable about the recording/music industry.
I enjoy watching his YouTube videos on how auto-tune is ruining vocals nowdays.

It always surprises me when we have votes in the poll right on release date. And a 10!
I hope the voter can shed some light on the mix virtues here on the comments...

It's someone who has never left a comment in the seven years they have been 'registered' (one can't really say been a 'participant' or 'member' or some such) of QQ. Something similar happened with the two new Fish box sets, two tens right off the bat from someone with no posts to their name.

Perhaps there ought to be a QQ rule that until you have actually participated in the forum, you're unable to click on a rating scale. I'm not too sure if the software would allow for that though.
