Aphrodite's Child 666 (Deluxe Edition with Dolby Atmos & 5.1 surround upmixes)

[jefe1]

We all ordered the same day. I'm sure you'll get one soon.

What was the price? I ordered from the Shed.

But...as the OP said, this has indeed been an expensive year for music. A good thing for all but the bank accounts, I guess.
I wonder if anyone has tabulated what EVERY surround release, in every form, would have cost for 2024? (e.g. I often buy the IAA releases...) Or even only the physical releases? I would think it would be in the 4K$ US range for the physical releases only?

I did start a thread back in 2023 for what it had cost ME, not sure I want to start one for this year..or should I ?..nevertheless it’s been a banner year as far as surround releases are concerned…and the temptation to buy or not to buy will always remain I guess!!

Hey @mandrix I believe the price was $29.99

 

[H.A.L.]

Burning Shed has this on the way to me. About time.

I am listening to the upmix right now. Not on atmos which I do not have, but the 5.1 version.
I am underwhelmed. Sure the sound from the front speakers is superb but there is almost nothing happening in the surround speakers.
But if a disappointment, although to be fair I'm not sure what I expected from an upmix.

 

[Degrundt]

Got mine today. 30,99€ was not a joke...

 

[jefe1]

Mine has shipped. Oh well wasn't expecting much from an up mix. Perhaps the high res stereo can be synthesized well....

I will unwrapped it tomorrow and let u know what i think about it. I feel very skeptical about the Upmix/Atmos oxymoron...

Mine is due between 16th and 20th November from Amazon France.
I can cancel if the upmix is really crap.

 

[Thonolan]

I'm very glad there are several of you who volunteered to act as guinea pigs . I'd never order an upmix without, at least, hearing a few opinions first!

I'm quite curious because this is a good album, even though, to date, I think I've never heard an upmix that has ultimately been more satisfying for me than a decent master of a good stereo mix.

Dusty Grooves came through...well...they shipped the "deluxe box" to me earlier today. I call it "deluxe box" because I still have serious doubts that it's truly the boxset due to the total price of $36.06 including tax/shipping. I'll know soon enough.

They gave me a tracking number, and it's shipping out of Chicago! Only couple hours north of me. It's likely I'd see it Monday then as USPS doesn't deliver on Sundays here.

 

[Marplot]

Nope, not on Monday GOS

Per info at Hoffman, I pre-ordered the 4CD/BDA set for US $29.99 + $3.07 tax. While not obvious, if I click on shipping, it says $4 flat rate for a box with any amount of discs in it. That sounds bizarre. Why do I trust them? lol

Dusty Groove is the vendor, who I've never heard of.
EDIT - while I was getting my account set up, I see Ryan posted a link to them above.

Dusty Groove is a brick and mortar record store in Chicago. I’ve ordered from them at least twice and have had no issues.
