Red Sun is excellent
. Don't know why V is so expensive on amazon. It's £12.61 at Rarewaves:
Jeez, it’s already fully booked for every slot in the next 2 weeks!
i'd have loved to but couldn't have gone regardless, i'm upto my eyeballs with work atmJeez, it’s already fully booked for every slot in the next 2 weeks!
Listening to the 5 CD version. Some good stuff on there. Have ordered the SDE blu-ray too.
Managed to get a stand by booking in the end. Gotta say the new Atmos mix sounds amazing!Jeez, it’s already fully booked for every slot in the next 2 weeks!
This is on KEF’s state of the art 9.14(!).6 Atmos system. I’m not sure how it will transcribe on more normal systems but there were plenty of individual elements you could hear in this new mix. The drums are really intelligently incorporated into the mix. All songs seem to have their own approach. The acoustic guitar on Starman comes in from the right side channel. The ‘freak out’ backing echo moves all around the room in Moonage Daydream. It’s not a Steven Wilson surround like mix but I really enjoyed it, boy does it sound good to my ears… Roll on September…

yeaayyyy!!Managed to get a stand by booking in the end. Gotta say the new Atmos mix sounds amazing!
as the song goes; "wham bam thank you m'aam!" 
crikey o'reilly.. 
how about the strings in "Starman"? would you say Bowie's lead vocal felt like it was hard in the Centre or spread across the Front LCR or did it feel like it was a 'lead vocals all round' type presentation? what were the Heights mainly used for?
Have you heard the 5.1 mix? My fear was that it wouldn't be substantially different from the upcoming Atmos mix.Managed to get a stand by booking in the end. Gotta say the new Atmos mix sounds amazing!
Yeah it was really loud! Which is fine by me! I think on the original record Ken Scott had a note written on the back advising that the album should be played back loud. I listen to everything loudly though, say what old bean?!14 subs!?
I can't remember particularly placing them to be honest, I'd guess it was more in the middle of the room but I could be wrong. I could defo place certain instruments in various side and surround channels though, including the strings. Didn't notice anything from the heights in particular either but that's because it seemed like more of a 'ball' of sound to me? On Five Years the echo to the "sighing, crying, dying, lying" lyrics were defo in the rear channels. I should've noticed more but I was too busy nodding my head up and down listening to the music...where did the "ooohh-ooohh-ooohh-ooooh" BVs in "Moonage Daydream" appear to emanate from?
Each song seemed to have its own unique mix approach. Lead vocal was mostly across the front but I remember one song, could be 'It Ain't Easy', where the vocal started in the front left channel, then moved to the front right and then centred. Sounds weird but it worked I think.
Yeah I've got the old SACD. This is quite different although hopefully it's going to be what people like and surround-y enough. I loved it!
