New Schiller "Summer In Berlin"

[Scott M4]

The "Super Deluxe" edition has 2 CDs and 2 Blu rays but the blurbage says nothing about surround mixes.
In the past, his live concerts have good surround, so the odds are good but not certain.

There are surround mixes, some of them in Dolby Atmos - listening to "Berlin Moskau" now, very immersive!

Thanks for the insight! Is the music with Thorsten Quaeschning in surround too?

good move - apparently it is limited to 7500, already sold out in Germany... Each box contains a personally signed Photograph (not in surround ) so that might have contributed to the limited run...

So to be clear, the mixes are worth the purchase? No pressure here on you or anything....

 

[Scott M4]

Made my order from Compact Disc Services. Looking forward!

I enjoyed his last effort in surround, so I'm in despite the price.

I like them, in particular Berlin moskau. and since this is limited, you might be able to resell the set for a similar/better price, if you don't...

Mine arrived today.

Playing it now in full, glorious Dolby Atmos.

This is from the 2nd Blu Ray , Berlin Moskau.

Was sweating over whether it would turn up, as it seems its out of stock on most sites.

If you can get hold of a copy...pull the trigger!!

Wonderful Atmos arrangement.

Schiller has been a true fan of surround for the past 20 years. He just gets it.

And now more artists are embracing Dolby Atmos, I hope there is more to come.

To be fully surrounded in my Bat Cave, with this fantastic release, is total pleasure.

On a par with Yello, in its use of the 7.2.4 setup that I have here.

I understand that not everyone will like this electronic music extravaganza but how on earth is he going to top this.

He will try to though.

Kinda luke warm on this guy and associated titles. I really don't return to his stuff.
How does this rate, compared to previous offerings?

I would honestly say Mike, it's one of his better releases. Especially with the use of Dolby Atmos.
It just fills the room with 360 degrees of his music.
Which is all I ever ask for from a Dolby Atmos mix.

Well shit. I'll at least stream it and see what I think. As with the recent Yello release, if I don't like the music, I just don't have the interest (or time) to sit through even a great Atmos mix.
Wait, I just sat through TFB! I'm a liar!!!

Can you comment the 1st Blu-ray with DTS-HD Master 5.1? I have read some people complaining about 5.1 track audio quality... Is it really bad?

Sorry I haven't played the first Blu Ray disc yet.
But now you've asked, I will and get back asap

 

[perzon57]

I haven't played the first Blu Ray disc either,but the 5.1 on the live concert on Ble Ray 2 sounds fantastic.Very immerse and discrete with lots of 360 degree pans.

I have now played the first Blu Ray disc and to my ears the DTS HD Master 5.1 mix
is great.
Plenty of use of rears with no distortion or anything else that would confirm this as a dud audio release.
By the way...I still wholeheartedly recommend this release ....
