Track 15 - The Capitalist Machine is reference material for sure, especially if you have a good subwoofer. And I only have 5.1, I bet it’s even better in Atmos. Play it loud!
Max Cooper – Emergence Pure Audio w/Atmos and full HD film out on 8/30 2019

Just letting inquiring minds know that the re-issue is still available at the Max Cooper store
Given that there is still stock available, it doesn't seem likely this will get re-issued again.

$43.17 shipped to USA from the Max Cooper Store. Ouch. I don't think I want it that bad. Too bad nobody sells direct MKV downloads instead of pricey to make and ship BD discs. I just dump them all anyway to put on my server.

https://pureaudiorecordings.com/en/product/max-cooper-emergence-dolby-atmos-edition/Highly recommended. Why is this not in the surround polls?
IAA does. Maybe they'll pick up this title eventually.
Took a punt on this. A couple of listens through, and I can't help but notice that the music sounds like Jon Hopkins, but with even fewer actual tunes. I mean there are moments when a tune kind of seems to be on the cusp of starting, but then it's quickly drowned out by the arch, mechanical, glitchy beats. Which, and lets be blunt about it, Jon Hopkins does better. The videos are redolent of mid-90s Amiga demos. I'm a bit underwhelmed.
Thanks for the warning. The YouTube examples didn't overwhelm me either. How synth pans pass for music is beyond me.
I had a similar response to Schiller's Morgenstund in Atmos. I kept waiting for a song to begin, but it just sounded like endless intro synth and string chords. Some of the extras from concerts in Iran were far better, IMO.
Booka Shade's Dear Future Self took some getting used to (loads of weird synth stuff flying around the room too, but much more precise and entertaining with the Atmos effects and more importantly loads of bass, drums and rhythms (house/trance), not just atmospheric music to fall asleep by. (Booka Shade's other Atmos album Galvany Street is far more traditional pop/rock by comparison).

I am aware that 'playing with sounds' cannot always be interpreted as 'making music', yet I continue to enjoy myself with the combination of image and surround sound of this product.
I agree about "Morgenstund", it is just beautifully produced synth sweeps. The only track which develops into an actual song is the gloopy "Dreamcatcher". But that's Schiller I suppose. They've always channelled the James Last end of electronic music.

The definition of "music" From Merriam-Webster: the science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity.
That is how synth pans pass for music.
That might describe my sex life as well

Thanks for the heads up @haikubass - Checking this one out, but the shipping to USA from Germany is a whopping $18.
The visuals will no doubt be impressive I’d bet though. Boy, I sure hope this can be had by other sellers (would also prefer a PayPal option!)
Here’s a bandcamp audio sample for one of the tracks.
- of course it sounds like shit on my little iPhone 8 right now eeeck!

Hmm. $55 for CD/Blu-Ray shipped to the US. I'll probably spring for it, but gah.
You’re not alone… I just took the hit and ordered it, on the strength of the fact that Emergence is one of the most immersive audio/video experiences in my collection - high expectations for this one and don’t wanna miss out!
Yeah, I agree on the strength of Emergence. So, I'll succumb eventually.
hey @dabl how ya doin’ man?
Have you got any inside info for us here on whether the “Max Cooper - Unspoken Words” will be available from USA sellers?
Thanks
Right now the highest number available for pre-order is 6. Shipping to the USA for 6 copies is $46.71, which works out to be $7.78 each. If we pool our interests we could probably order more than that, by request, and one person could receive all the items, and re-ship them in the USA for much cheaper. I guess it is alot to go through for saving 6 or 7 bucks each by the time we are done. BUT, if anyone in the Denver region wants to go in on an order, we could save more on shipping and meet to hand them out. I am willing to place the order. Ian? Jim? Kevin?
Maybe we can get a Mod. to create a new thread for this new title and move the relative posts over to it
