Bass Communion (Steven Wilson) - The Itself of Itself

[J. PUPSTER]

Just discovered this AI style video on Steven's YT channel, anyone know if he plans on an immersive mix release?

edit- you can purchase 96x24 files on Bandcamp (consider sending him a message there if you'd like to see a release in immersive audio) Maybe limited edition IAA

I have the CD of this. Kinda doubt there will be an immersive mix. The only Bass Communion to get the surround treatment was Pacific Codex

Loss was also released in multichannel on DVD-Audio

Was there several different versions of this one, I’m not sure what the notes at the bottom of this discogs entry means exactly?

Also, seems about time he worked on one in Atmos. Heck if he can do an Atmos mix for a Duduk, this would be a nice one for this style of ambient.

Pretty dark and disturbing video (Oct. 31 release) ya got there Steven

edit- I just now see that @DuncanS has a previous thread started on this title-

It would indeed appear that there were three different releases for this title, although they all appear to be identical other than the Matrix/Runout numbers. I have this one:

https://www.discogs.com/release/829593-Bass-Communion-Loss

The notes on the release you linked (11711002) suggests that it may be a combo of the other two releases. Indeed it has the CD runout from release 9808203 and the DVD runout from release 829593. Here are the details for all three:

Release 11711002
Matrix / Runout (CD): 9900-CD-0048 13-011-13
Matrix / Runout (DVD): CDV/CA D06090522

Release 9808203
Matrix / Runout (CD): 9900-CD-0048 13-011-13
Matrix / Runout (DVD): 9900-DV-0002 13-009-10-2

Release 829593 (my copy - runouts verified by me from the discs)
Matrix / Runout (CD): CDV/CA C06090523
Matrix / Runout (DVD): CDV/CA D06090522

Perhaps they sourced the actual discs from different factories and as such they had different matrix numbers? Who knows? I will say that Loss sounds unearthly in surround. Turn off the lights, turn up the volume and watch your partner get chills up their spine!

I found the video for The itself of itself to be quite disturbing as well.
