Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - 50th Anniversary Atmos mix in 2023! (Standalone BD coming in October!)

[Mcallister]

Everyone always complains when these sets are released without an Atmos mix, especially now in the age of Atmos streaming (Revolver), but now a set is released with a highly anticipated Atmos mix and it’s more complaining.

Dont get me wrong, I think $300 is too high.

 

[mandrix]

Well, I am sure there are many here who have bought more copies of DSOTM than I, though I doubt many could be bigger fans.
I started with the Q8, several actually, as my first wife and I flat wore out the first one as it would play all night long.
But having said that, I'm an old man now. I don't have any need for all that "stuff", I only want the Atmos mix, and I only rip the physical disc's and bitstream them to the AVR these days.
Also I have to live within a budget.
Pass on the box set.

Is it my imagination, Mike, or did he NOT mention the NEW ATMOS BD~A remix? He kept harping on the new PF Book being released in the UK on March 1st but only alluded to the 5.1 remix of DSOTM.

He did not Ralphie

Money...it's a hit. Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.

As far as I can see from the boxset images, there is no marbles and scarf. No marbles - no buy!

 

[4-earredwonder]

JUST GIVE ME THE STAND ALONE ATMOS BD~A in 48/24 resolution and I'll be one happy 'mnie!'

 

[Owen Smith]

I don't actually own the Immersion set for Dark Side Of The Moon. Now might be a good time to buy it, there may be some discounts.

EDIT: except I can't find anywhere with stock.

DVD (AUDIO)
Original album 5.1 and remastered stereo mixes,
1. 5.1 Surround Mix – Dolby Digital @448 kbps
2. 5.1 Surround Mix – Dolby Digital @640 kbps
3. Stereo Mix (LPCM) – 24-bit/48 kHz Uncompressed

No DTS, what a wasted opportunity. DTS at 1.5mbps sounds better than DD at 640kbps.

And given this is only one 45 minute(ish) album there is probably plenty of room to have made it a DVD-A/V and included 5.1 MLP in addition to DTS and DD.

Why would anyone need stereo 24/48 uncompressed on the DVD? It's going to sound exactly the same as the CD so it's a waste of space.

Still way too rich for my blood. I'll settle for streaming the new Atmos mix.

 

[LennonCobain]

Correct me if I’m wrong; we don’t even know that an Atmos mix is coming, let alone one done by Guthrie, right? We’ve yet to hear any official word, just a press release alluding to a box set, and a leaked database listing.
For all we know if a mix exists; it could be by anybody!
And if it is Guthrie, wouldn’t it be his first Atmos mix? Maybe Atmos is what he needs to make a killer mix!
Edit: woah wait what’s this?
That’s a Spotify screenshot, this “single” isn’t out on Apple Music yet, the date in the screenshot says tomorrow (so its likely out in Aus/NZ). I’d expect an announcement tomorrow if this isn’t a fake

I think they lost their marbles with this release.

[TheGreatRamseythe2nd]

Blu ray only in huge box set?

 

[PurpleMoustache]

This track is available on Tidal:

And on Apple Music, though *not* Atmos, just 24/192kHz Lossless…
Uh oh, is the Atmos gonna be *only* in the $300 box?

 

[rtbluray]

so as expected, this is all we are getting, the box set and CD/vinyl editions of the "Dark Side" Wembley set.
https://www.pinkfloyd.com/tdsotm50/recordings/
no other editions are listed or expected. this is it, so either shell out the money or just stream it.

 

[TheGreatRamseythe2nd]

Money...it's a hit. Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.

Maybe the mix is decent. Don't give me that tame, speakers barely used mix bullshit.

 

[Patrick Cleasby]

I'm hearing standalone later in the year

 

[PurpleMoustache]

I'm hearing standalone later in the year

Would that standalone include the Quad? As someone without the immersion set, having a stand-alone with all 3 surround mixes would be great

the 5.1 on the DVD-V in the Immersion box set was also Dolby Digital only for some reason!?
