An exciting new Rob Reed solo album (Cursus 123 430) with a 5.1 mix is on it's way...

Sounds fun and Rob's mixes are always killer... ordered!

Stuck in a cheeky pre Christmas pre order

If you watch/listen to the video, some of my earlier cryptic comments should make a bit more sense now. It's a purely electronic concept album; a trip back to the '70s using vintage analogue gear. The sounds he's managed to get are huge and epic, which suits the subject matter perfectly.

Is it just me or is anyone else getting a War of the Worlds flashback from this trailer , sounds good though!!

Yeah I see what you mean. I also got a bit of Vincent Price/Thriller and my younger self is putting He-Man into my brain! I really like the concept and sound! Have pre-ordered...

Wow! My copy just popped through the letterbox. That was not expected so soon. I started listening on my desktop speakers and loved it straight away - so much so that I stopped playing it (!) so I can listen to it properly tonight on the main system. On such a brief listen, it wouldn't be fair to comment too much, but the initials JMJ and RW keep coming into my mind...

The bonus CD (not listened yet) is mainly single versions and demos, which in general I tend not to find very illuminating, but it also has one of the album tracks as a 'Sanctuary remix' which sounds like a great idea, as well as the Cursus 'Symphonic Poem'. The book is a 'prestige format' graphic novel (better than a comic, less than a book). A very nice package overall.

Thanks Gene, I only get a blank screen using those links

Mine came this morning while I was at work, I found it when I returned home, I immediatly popped the DVD in the Sony and I'm reminded of Wakeman & Vangelis. DTS 5.1, it's Rob Reed, so of course the surround mix is very good.

Edit: my phone takes a crap photo, the outer space on screen is a lot duller than that and the text is a lot redder.

I thought the pre-order said release date of Nov. 14?

I think a lot of these smaller labels and self releases just start posting them as soon as they get them rather than stick to a release date.

Also, I ordered the CD/DVD combo (without the book). I hope this one contains 5.1 mix. It doesn't say anything about it. The other combos mention the 5.1 mix.

Yes that will be the one I got, I also got a signed book and a bonus CD though.

Just tried the links on my phone and it worked, ordered the cd/dvd combo

 

[fredblue]

Ordered - without hesitation!

a new album in surround, from a wonderful musician who truly gets surround, for under 15 quid delivered, did i mention its in surround!

for me its this year's Quadro-no-brainer!

That's the version I ordered as well, the carrier pigeon must still be trying to find my house I'd forgotten the release was this soon, I have it on my spreadsheet as the 4th Nov.

I'm confused by the recent posts. I did NOT get the one with the book. Only the CD/DVD version. Will mine have 5.1?
