Batch #2 of Rhino Atmos Blu-Rays coming August 2024!

[perzon57]

Anyone know if the Black Sabbath Atmos mix is any good?

The Sabbath Atmos mix is on Apple Music, didn't impress me.

Anything of note in the mix you want to share? Someone guessed it may have just been audience noise in the back. Is that the case?

I'll listen to it again later and come back with my second opinion.

And just noticed this:

https://store.rhino.com/en/rhino-st...rs-from-mars-atmos-blu-ray/5021732238757.html

I spotted the “mars” part in the URL and immediately clicked on it, getting excited that the Dead’s From The Mars Hotel was getting a physical Atmos release.

A bit of a letdown once the page loaded, but nice for Bowie fans.

Don't really care to have any live album in 5.1/Atmos
Wish they picked a studio Black Sabbath album

I think they made an Atmos mix alongside the recent set and wanted to capitalize off of that. I would NOT be surprised if Steven Wilson offered to make Atmos (or at least, 5.1) mixes alongside some of Black Sabbath's stereo remixes he did a few years back and management or the band said no. Atmos wasn't quite as much a market force (especially in the physical market) back then as it is today.

(And no, this recent Atmos mix of Live Evil isn't made by Steven Wilson. I don't mean to imply that was the case.)

CC24WMX15 works for an extra 15% off if you haven't used it yet!

Thanks! Ordered Live Evil & Chicago ix. Bill came to $58.28

Since I don't have an Atmos setup and already own the DVD of Seal and the Quadio Chicago box, I'm in for Carly. Other than Paranoid, I'm not really a Sabbath fan at all.
Thank you, though, Rhino, for another nice batch!

 

[Juggsnelson]

Ordered all 4 straight away. Hoping the Live Evil is the recent Iommi remix as it was quite an improvement.

 

[rtbluray]

I guess it's good for Rhino that I ordered all 4 of these without realizing that the Black Sabbath "Live Evil" disc is a live album with Dio on vocals. Not really a big fan of Dio but hey, I ordered it so maybe we'll see if I end up liking it anyway!
besides that, the other 3 were exactly the ones that we had guessed in here (Seal debut, "No Secrets" and "Chicago IX")
overall great choices from Rhino, glad they are still giving us the goods!

 

[jefe1]

For me likely just the Carly. Maybe I should check out Seal not familiar with him.
Will see if I can put together an order.....

 

[kfbkfb]

Just to make certain - the Carly Simon Blu-ray audio contains both the 1974 4.0 mix and the (early) 2000s (different) 5.0/5.1 remix (for a DVD-A) in addition to the new Atmos mix?

(I think I may be the one who asked for both the 4.0 & 5.0/5.1 mixes on a Blu-ray audio a while back)

Available for pre-order on Warner Music Canada

The back to school sale 15% off Code:SCHOOL15 does not include pre-orders

Getting "No Secrets" I would assume that there won't be a Carly Quadio box set. Also less likelihood of a Carly disc in the next Quadio batch?

 

[beerking]

I'm going to wait until Black Sabbath is available on the 6th September then put my order in for all four.

Unless Rhino would ship them all together anyway

 

[GabeL]

I'm definitely in for the Seal [even though I feel they could have put quite a bit of additional music on this one] and I'll consider Chicago once I read some reviews. Nice variety in the batch though Well done Rhino!!

 

[perzon57]

I suppose I will buy Chicago, it's up on Apple Music and it has a really good Atmos mix. The others I don't care for, except maybe Bowie. Anyone heard the Atmos mix?

I understand why I was not impressed by the mix, the one I have in my library was only stereo.

 

[ForagingRhino]

Hey, @ForagingRhino, nice set of Atmos discs this morning! Variety is the spice of life.
When you stroll into work later this morning, can you tell us the resolutions for the 5.1, Quad and stereo files on the discs? (No such info on the Rhino pages for the releases.)
Thanks

Thanks for the information. Any reason no B-sides/remixes were included with the Seal release, just curious? Thanks again and keep up the great work
