Louise Patricia Crane - Netherworld 5.1 DVD-V/CD (featuring Jakko Jakszyk/Mel Collins/Tony Levin/Ian Anderson)

[Thonolan]

Got a sweet email from Louise as well - won't copy/paste the whole thing but here's the part in which she's referring to the forum and how she had to push for a physical release of the surround mix. @Clement I think you got a mention!

I'm honoured to be spoken of over at Quadraphonicquad — audio connoisseurs over there! I actually received another very sweet message and order yesterday from one of the members there. I can't tell you how happy this makes me. At times it was a battle to push forward making sure I had not only a multichannel mix for Netherworld, but a physical edition of it too.

Amazon Canada has the digibook (CD + surround DVD) for CAN$36.44 (free Prime Shipping), but with a release date of July 19. Amazon US only has the CD as far as I can see to be released this Friday, but maybe wait a tad longer to see if they list the digibook? Link:

Since Kate Bush is at best semi-retired I'm glad there's another female artist picking up the prog/celtic rock slack and is being embraced by some prog stalwarts. She has a way to go to reach Kate Bush level - but that applies to almost anyone. In any case I'm happy to support her. Lasercd has the CD/DVD set for $25 and domestic shipping which isn't a bad price.

Netherworld is top of the prog chart in the UK!

Meh the music is light weight world pop w/ some hilariously overblown Celtic faerie mythology trappings
Me suspects if it wasn't for the "pretty packaging" there wouldn't be much ado at all.
Ymmv as usual

I was strongly put off by the cover of the previous album, Deep Blue, but after a few 'distracted' listens (I'd put it on my phone and it was popping up now and then as I'd walk to work) I had to change my mind. The music on that album is excellent. I would be surprised if she has now plummeted to what you describe.

This cover, I guess? Unless there is some alternate cover...

Is there a problem with this cover? I mean, it's hardly Whitesnake's 'Lovehunter', Scorpions 'Virgin Killer' or heck, Lorde's 'Solar Power' is it?

I count 2 songs having a Celtic influence - Dance with the Devil and the outro of Celestial Dust. Sounds like you really dug deep with your listen there champ. 'light weight world pop' is a new insult in my books too, is this like using "woke" as an insult for anything with a woman or POC in a prominent position?

A bit pedestrian. I think it would pop more for me if the flowers or her eyes were a deep blue to match the title.

LOL! No, nothing wrong with it at all. Yeah, virgin killer was a little out there to say the least. Love the album though!

Maybe it's a personal thing. I can imagine some lecherous old record company execs getting her to agree to the cover. But sorry I mentioned it. It's the music that counts. And it's excellent.

Buying a book for its cover… Again!

 

[Clement]

That was FAST!

 

[Thonolan]

My copy arrived today! Some extremely busy days coming so I won't have the opportunity to sit down and properly listen to the surround mix until sometime next week.

Looking forward to hearing how you find the mix. Hoping for good things from Jakko. While the music is a change in direction from Deep Blue, it's still great in my book.

Recently acquired this extraordinary woman's Storybook multichannel mix edition and I must say, what a phenomenal album. That mix and spread across the speakers is perfect throughout. Many fine details, great work from JJ. I was unfamiliar with this lady's work until I read a compelling interview with her in the new Prog mag issue. She's in a league of her own. Impressive talent. From what I read here, seems a lovely person too. Props for a young woman like this who loves surround mixes enough to make this edition available. Let's hope we see much more from her.

LaserCD has the DVD+CD version back in stock, so I ordered it for $25 + $5 shipping (to Colorado).
