Booka Shade - For Real 5.1 & Atmos Blu-Ray (April 18th, 2025)

New album For Real to be released March 21st, however this vendor in Germany claims the BD-A version (incl. 5.1 & Atmos mixes, the fourth for Booka Shade) is already available:

Promo blurb (AI translated):
The long-player marks a return to their more melodic and organic sounds and follows in the tradition of the 2013 album "Eve". The duo used existing and previously unreleased archive material: "There had long been a plan to delve deep into our archive and search for the lost ideas that have accumulated over the years. Songs that, for whatever reason, didn't fit on any of our albums or EPs, but that we always really liked. At the beginning of 2024, the time had finally come to tackle this project and finalize some of these lost treasures. Now it's 'For Real'."

Where can Gringos buy this?

I would keep an eye on jpc.de and/or ImportCDs. (Not in stock at the moment, but it would be very strange if they didn't carry it eventually.)

Wow, what fantastic news! Give me that pre-order link ASAP!

 

[mandrix]

For a fairly imminent release one would think there would be an order link up or several by now?

For an album releasing in about a week it's pretty odd that there's no purchasing links - at least I couldn't find any. However, there are plenty of articles announcing the imminent release on March 21 - it's on Blaufield Music. I did find a link to a download outlet called Beatport that has the download album tracks up for pre-order. If it's for real (see what I did there?), there are 11 tracks and you can sample them all: https://www.beatport.com/release/for-real/4934864.

Have to say they all sound pretty great and should be fantastic in Atmos.
