Does the Blu-ray has also a 5.1 mix?

Not that I can see. It's what I'd prefer since I don't have Atmos.

Burning Shed price is down to £14.99.

The Blu-ray also contains 24/96 versions of the Bright-Side and Dark-Side stereo mixes.

Yes, I noticed that as well; fantastic!!

 

[GilWave]

Surprised that the LPs weren't released in 45 rpm.

I listened to the Dark Side mix of Panopiticom on YouTube (with an amazing video).

This has the potential to be an amazing ATMOS mix.

Not familiar with Hans-Martin Buff. What's his track record?

the Atmos mixes for most of the album are already streaming and they sound fantastic!
this is definitely going to be one of the best (new) releases of the year!

BTW, I'm correcting the thread title
after all, what's an "Afmos" mix?

Here's the album release's most complete Atmos mix playlist so far, in PG official track listing order. Two more singles due before the album release.

Oh great. Another new surround format. Now I have to buy even more speakers and probably an implant for my brain!

Preordered yesterday. It will be a complete surprise because I haven't heard anything of the songs so far.

Sort of same here, apart from one, of which I don't remember, I don't recall....

Have you not heard "BLIKO" in afmos ¿

Atmos mix can “fold” down to 7.1, 5.1 and even Stereo if you don’t have the required hardware/speakers…although I’m not exactly sure how that would sound. I agree that a dedicated 5.1 mix would always be the best solution.

It's not a new format, Afmos is just Atmos with a cold. So you don't need new speakers, just some paracetemol!

Thanks for doing the summary. I went with Bull Moose this time and used my points to get half off.

I've not heard any of the mixes and when I get the Bluray, I'll be listening to the 5.1/ Atmos. But I'm intrigued, what is the difference between the two stereo mixes? I'm guessing it's more about a different 'feel' than being radically different to each other?

pre-ordered through Gabriel's site - the freight to the US was 88 pounds, and they charged the full amount (I ordered LPs and the CD/BluRay set as well), even though the box set won't ship until March.
