Dream Theater - A View From The Top Of The World (5.1)

[alansanchez86]

I was honestly expecting an Atmos mix, since the hold the torch of the prog band of contemporary times, and they are already a household name, but I can't complain about a 5.1 mix.

"additional production by James “Jimmy T” Meslin and mixed/mastered by Andy Sneap." I wonder if the 5.1 was also done by Andy.
Oct 22nd cant come soon enough!

Glad to see this confirmed!

1st single The Alien drops this Friday:

I wonder when we'll get the pre-order in the UK? I think I got the last DT surround release from Burning Shed, I suppose I'll just have to wait and find out!

First single released. Sounds like Dream Theater from the last 15 year, neither offensive or ground breaking.

It's DT, I'll be pre-ordering once the options start rolling in.

Damn I was hoping to hear DT in Atmos soon, but I will still order this.

Tweet them! Perhaps they will consider with enough people calling for Atmos!

I think it is basically whatever studio the mixer has? I presume Mr Sneap does not have an Atmos studio as of yet.

Great news that Dream Theater is releasing their upcoming LP in 5.1 on Blu-Ray (and an Art Book too)! Will wait to see what other outlets will charge for the set before I decide to pick it up.

Just preordered this. Adding to an already crazy last two weeks of October,

Any idea of the mixer? I would like them to think out of the Bog this time.

 

[weekendtoy]

Anything cheaper than Amazon's $50 (after tax) price?

I ordered it from Century Media for $60. I didn't see the blu-ray on Amazon. The supplied link is for vinyl.

I think this Amazon.ca item, Amazon.ca might be the 3 disc Blu-ray set. The format states audio CD and that the contents consist of 3 discs however there is no further information or photos. The overall run time is stated as 4 hours 37 minutes but it's not showing as being available until December though. It's pricey here as well.

Burning Shed have sent me a shipping notification, on past performance I expect it'll be here Friday morning.

Mine is out for delivery from Laser's Edge. But I won't get to it this weekend. I'm a little behind. Let It Be is sitting at home waiting to be opened. I've been away since last Thursday. Nice to come home to some multi channel discs waiting to be played.

With this album and LTE's new album both being available in a CD/Blu-Ray combo, was John Petrucci's latest solo album also released in similar packing to get high res and surround mixes? I looked but couldn't find anything.

No, definitely not available in mch at this time, unfortunately.

Mine came this morning along with a couple of other things, I'm most of the way through the Blu-ray now 5.1 LPCM. They haven't strayed too far from their usual formula and I'm loving the music, the sound and mix is really good, there are some cool videos accompanying the music too, a write up on the recording process and fabulous artwork in the book too.
