Mr. Afternoon - droplets - new electronic/rock concept album [Discussion] (Lossless 5ch DVD-Audio)

[SMS]

The album isn't released yet! That download is just a snippet so you can get a general sense of how the album sounds like.

Great news! I'm also wondering if a 5.0 flac download of the entire album will be offered. Shipping to Canada is quite expensive and rip all physical media anyways.

It will be offered on IAA upon release date.

We've hit 10 pre-orders! Woo!

 

[AYanguas]

Ordered!

Only 490 to go!

 

[Mr. Afternoon]

I should mention to all Sony X800 owners, since this is a pressed disc, the lossless DVD-Audio portion WILL play on your disc player this time.

 

[Juggsnelson]

Ordered! Looking forward to.it!

 

[Mr. Afternoon]

To address some sticking points on the last release, we now have album-art themed menus and stills during playback.

Come on guys. Let's support one of our own and keep the craft going.
This has been a wonderful year for surround releases, and for some of us a lot of money expended...but for this price, and the amount of content....
well, worth a shake I think.
Is DVD-Audio and the work of a young artist going to die with a fantastic group such as ours?
What say you, QQ?

Nice one, Mr. Afternoon! And congrats on putting together a physical release. I'll be checking this out.

I agree as well. If I'm not mistaken, there is over 75 minutes of music on this. Should be very dynamic as well. I'll be curious how my Auro 3-D upmixer on my Denon will make it sound. Based on some of the movement I detect in just the stereo samples, probably will be super.

Main Album (in stereo and surround): 88 Minutes
Commentary (in stereo): 26 Minutes
Deleted Scenes (in surround): 13 Minutes

So total content audio is 127 minutes on the disc.

Also, to get a sense of how the 5.0 mix sounds, in the original post, there is a link to a "sampler" containing some snippets from in the album in a 5.1 FLAC file.

Copy ordered. Will look nice next to my SACD of the first album!

 

[4-earredwonder]

How could I resist? Pre~ordered a copy! And a bona fide DVD~Audio ..and they said it was a deader than dead format. Boy were they wrong!

Congrats, Mr Afternoon, on another stunning creation.

 

[Mr. Afternoon]

Thanks to all the compliments and recent orders! I greatly appreciate it! I've taken the time to update the description of the item to be a little more in-depth.

I believe I preordered, but want to be sure. Mr. A, any way to check? If I didn't, I will.
