So tigermoth is not handling sales of this? I could'nt find any mention there.

Neither could I - bet JFK are just ahead a bit...

Ordered.

I've ordered all my Rob Reed stuff from Tigermoth so far, so I'll wait a bit to pre-order, but I'm ultimately buying this one way or another

A quick update from the play testing of this one. IMHO it's Rob's best "Sanctuary" so far, in terms of both the song writing and surround mix and by quite a considerable margin. However, it took me several plays through to "get" the music and really appreciate this, so it's possibly less accessible than his previous Sanctuary releases, to the point where I think it's a great move to split it into two albums with a gap. A double album could have been too much to digest in one sitting.

I think the reason for this may be because, with this album, he's evolved his sound and solo song writing to the point where it really feels much more like Rob Reed than a Mike Oldfield homage. Don't worry; it's an evolution, not a huge change in direction and if you liked the previous albums you'll like this one for sure.

On the mixing and production side he's incorporated a lot of what worked really well with "Cursus 123 340" so the surround mix is both dynamic and powerful. The sound quality is stunning, even for Rob. The 48k DTS on the DVD is (honestly) so good that I find it hard to believe that it's not lossless!

I have all of Sanctuary I-III albums, so this is a must buy for me for sure!

By the way I was surprised to find that they are still available at Tigermoth shop...

"There are technical problems uploading new content at the Tigermoth shop and the planned pre-order for The Ringmaster part one has unfortunately been delayed. Rob and his team have asked me to convey their apologies and will make the preorder available as soon as possible. There should be the first video to share at the same time too!"

Hopefully this weekend can be reserved. Faith!

Ordered the Ultimate 5CD/3DVD edition at £65, as obviously I really like Rob Reed's music, but also because the money goes to the artist, not a faceless conglomerate.

 

[Marplot]

well pooh, here goes some more spending; may as well grab Cyan and the first 3 Sanctuary releases ...

Exactly. I hate supporting huge conlomerates that are taking over. Supporting artists direct is great, especially when you know the product is quality.

Cyan and Sanctuary III are exceptional. My favs.

 

[edamarok]

Ordered!

I will too, but its difficult to see what is on the 5CD/3DVD edition, as opposed to the 2CD/1DVD, unless I'm looking in the wrong place!
