New Katatonia album "Sky Void Of Stars" coming 1/20/23 (with Dolby Atmos mix!)

[andi-999]

Out of stock. I hope soon this will be available in the inmersive audio album‘s catalog with the others katatonia’s albums

My order was shipped today - earlier than expected. Really looking forward to it!

My order arrived today. I've only listened to it once and I really like it. I think this album is better than the previous one (which I also liked).
It is worth noting that there are 3 mixes on the BLU-RAY disc: stereo (LPCM), 5.1 (DTS-HDMA) and Dolby Atmos.
I listened to 5.1 - the mix is perfect, there is always something going on in the rear speakers (but of course it's not like in "Star Wars" ).
Great purchase!

Got my shipping notice from Napalm today - really looking forward to this one after the lack of a surround mix for City Burials. 2023 is starting out great with this and the new Riverside which I've already received. What an incredible time to be a prog fan. Decades ago I would never have thought that in 2023 we'd be seeing regular prog releases from the likes of multi-faceted artists like Steven Wilson, Bruce Soord, Jonas Renkse, Mikael Åkerfeldt, not to mention classic acts like Jethro Tull, Alan Parsons, King Crimson, etc. and all in surround sound. I'm amazed whenever I think about it.

I'm enjoying it. Can't wait until Monday when my disc arrives.

I really liked the music and the mix is just as I like it with lots of activity in the heights almost all the time.

Received my intact wooden box late yesterday and was able to listen to a few tracks. First impression is that the Atmos mix is excellent and the music seems to be a bit of a throwback to a slightly earlier sound - very welcome in my opinion. The blu-ray animation is also pretty cool. Still not sure what I'm going to do with the damn box and trinkets - I hate to think how much these doodads added to the cost of the package.

It arrived a couple of days early.

Very cool! Waiting on mine. I accidentally ordered from the European store. Tracking says it in flight so I hope I get it some time next week

Mine arrived yesterday.

A unique box set.

Very good Atmos mix.

I knew Bruce would produce an exemplary sound with his renowned skills.

Totally agree with all the previous comments. I feel very fortunate to own this release.

I have the same dilemma with the box. For now, I packed it up and put it in the closet. Maybe I'll put it on an auction site for 10-15 euros and some die-hard fan will buy it.

Man, i am kicking myself for not ordering one of these! Waited to hear my fellow QQ reviewers . . . not thinking about who did the mix! My dumb aspect! Maybe this miss on my part will be enough to get me streaming. Maybe i'll just put an album on and run it through the SM! That'll take the sting out! Stay Surrounded, Comrades!

Wonder if the IAA site will eventually get both the Dolby Atmos and 5.1 as a download?

Had the band stayed on Snapper/Peaceville this would be a near-certainty, but since they moved to Napalm a separate digital distribution deal must be struck.

One guy has sold 8 at Ebay, last one for USD149,75. It's ridiculous Napalm Records has only manufactured 700 copies and allows people to speculate and get rich at the expense of people who really like music.

Can someone post a link to where this is available for purchase? I knew the album was coming out and had a 5.1 mix but for some reason I can't find anything.

Sorry, the box set with the BD-A is sold out now and the pre-order link is no longer valid.

You can listen to the Atmos mix on Apple Music, it's really good.
