Outstanding news!

Dammit. I really goofed on this one. I was reading this on my phone, only saw Human Lib, placed my order. Then I see there are 2 titles! I've never tried to cancel order from Cherry. Pretty easy? I'd order both of them, and I assume the shipping would be much less than ordering them separately.

The original single version was made and released before the album was made, so the alternative version was recorded at Farmyard Studios.....

Thanks for the reply but more to the point…

Thanks for these remixes @Stephen W Tayler !!!

weird. I just tried to order, it said pre order 31 May, I thought we could not order yet....

Yeah, I saw that too. I went ahead and clicked on Paypal, and the order went through.

If you run into trouble @GOS let me know and I can add it to my order so you save on shipping. You can pay for the music and I'll send it to you when it gets here.

This is the first opportunity I have had to create new stereo and surround mixes for an album I originally recorded and mixed - 40 YEARS AGO!!!!!

 

[Marplot]

Maybe The Fixx will call you next and we all win again.

Can I ask why only a few tracks for both albums in Atmos and not all?

Indeed I'm hoping for that - I think rights and licences are being sorted out, so no idea what the outcome might be. I actually witnessed them perform live last night in London for the very first time!!!!!

It was a last minute addition of a handful of tracks from Howard's friend Clearmountain. I had completed these complete album 5.1 versions some time ago. My mixes are sequenced in a very atmospheric collection with interesting transitions, and are synched to the visuals I created for projection at Howard's live shows - so this is a very complete experience.

I have only recently been officially commissioned to do an Atmos mix for a classic album I am working on. One has to be asked!!

Thanks for replying. I bought those two albums when they came out, glad to see I helped (in a very tiny way, LOL) to keep you going back then, and great that you're still involved in what you love all these years later, and moreover, that you hang out on here with us plebs.

Uh, hey Stephen.....QQ is asking! We love your work.

 

[Stephen W Tayler]

Uh, hey Stephen.....QQ is asking! We love your work.

.....would need a budget, though (he said tentatively....)

lol, it helps if the people doing the asking are the rights holders, not to mention that they should also be the ones with the check book

Great news, not a massive fan of 80s synth music, but always loved Mr Jones, purchased.

Yes, obviously. Stephen, I just got paid, so I have $1800 left over after paying my bills. I'm sure that's plenty!

ordered really looking forward to Human's Lib - it seems like just yesterday it was released

 

[jamesc]

So happy to hear about the Howard Jones releases and that SWT and BC did the mixes! Those are two of my favorites from the 80s.

I'm sure there's a lot of Fixx fans who would put up money if it helped convince the band to do surround mixes.
