HiRez Poll Oldfield, Mike - TUBULAR BELLS [Blu-Ray Audio (Dolby Atmos)]

[Awdeeohnut]

Having listened to this album again today for only the second time since buying the new version, I have to say how dissapointed I am with the Atmos mix, its thin sounding to my ears, especially compared to the warm sounding orig mix. And some of the sections are mixed so low as to be barely audible. What a wasted opportunity, bring on the Steven Wilson definitive mix of this amazing album

There is no DVD-Audio containing any mixes of this original 1973 recording, only the 2003 re-recording.

I quite like the 6 channel mix I downloaded from Bowers & Wilkins in 2012.

I have that, but I prefer the quad SACD.

I haven't heard that. Is it that much differen't from the SDE Blu-ray disc quad mix?

It's a correct version of the same quad mix. From halfway through the SDE has delays on some channels but not others and front left is a lot louder than the others, both of which make the mix sound very front left dominated.

Obviously you can have a preference in terms of Tub Bells versions. But it's certainly important to note they are very different albums that came out at different times under different conditions with some very different participants, and so unable to be compared in terms of remixing of a single recording. I love them both though, for me, nothing can ever beat the freshness of the original.

Is that the quad mix on the 50th bluray?
