Amazon.co.uk (I expect it will be up in the US and on other online retailers soon):

Linky no worky for me.

Is there some sort of planetary alignment or harmonic convergence on March 7? I now have four releases on that date: John Mayall, Tull, Yes, and now Kraftwerk.

Linky no worky for me.

I think it only works on some browsers, or browsers that have "location setting" turned off, or...I donno. But I do know that when you enter an Amazon.co.uk URL, some browsers try to take you to Amazon US instead--and of course there's no listing for it there (yet).

I pre-ordered, no problems. I didn't realize the previous box Atmos set was different! I heard them live at the Warfield in SF in the 90s, and it was brilliant. The box set was an early Atmos masterpiece.

All right, now as I said I will practice restraint in 2025.
I have the German box set from 2017. All in Atmos.
I understand this will be a studio version re-mixed, but as a casual Kraftwerk listener my 2017 Atmos Autobahn will be good enough.

Hopefully Paul will chime in as to whether the quad mix questions were raised at the December playback session; whether it still exists and whether it was considered for inclusion

Stepped into the same trap and ordered instantly but cancelled and ordered at JPC for about 40% less. Not keen about the slip case!

And that's all I needed to see, great to see he hasn't lost interest in atmos. Definite purchase for that alone, though I will wait to see if any US retailers will carry it. If not also going to go with JPC (sorry paul).

Yes, I will be more circumspect next time too.

 

[Robert van Diggele]

Huh? So these are new atmos mixes, but the release itself is NOT an exclusive, i.e., you can get it elsewhere just without the slipcase?

Doesn't SDE making non-exclusive titles part of their exclusive series dilute the series? Not sure I like this... unless I'm completely misunderstanding.

It was done before with the Peet Shop Boys release last year. Slipcase exclusive to SDE shop, but not part of the Surround Series.
