Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs New 5.1 and Dolby Atmos Mixes!!

[J. PUPSTER]

As an old fart here that was fortunate to see them live in the mid 70's, I'll definitely need to have a listen to this. But what's basically a three piece Rock band, it's going to be real interesting to hear how they mixed this into 5.1/Atmos.

There are some interesting sparkly little things (chimes?) going on in the title track, maybe some swirling effects, hand claps, vocal embellishments etc.

I will of course be rooting for a great surround experience; but also I'll buy just about anything in surround if I like the music/artist, here's an example:

I'm gonna guess Richard Whittaker.

Yeah, he did Vagabond I think. Which, didn't trip my trigger too much.

 

[Simon A]

Yeah, he did Vagabond I think. Which, didn't trip my trigger too much.

Was that the name of your band in High School Gene, Tripped Trigger?

On May 17, Chrysalis will help celebrate that 50th Anniversary of Bridge of Sighs with a brand new Stereo Mix and Remaster of the album, and coupling it with outtakes and rarities never heard before, and a CD of a live US show in its entirety from the period. Additionally, a Blu-ray will be packed into the box with 5.1 Surround Mix, Atmos mix, and a collection of outtakes, and instrumental tracks. Sounds like a grand party to me!

A 2LP set with Half-Speed Mastering, pressed on 180g-weight black vinyl that will be housed in a deluxe double gatefold jacket is being offered. You can also expect DD offerings as well.

I wonder about the mix as well. This album is not heavily produced. But ZZTop is a three piece and the Quad Tres Hombres keeps my interest. So I'm hoping for something decent.

 

[GOS]

All comments aside about who mixed it. This is one of my all time favorite albums, and yes, I already put in my order at Amazon US.

 

[SHB]

Wowie Kazowie! Ordered! Fantastic news.

 

[ogrequad]

I am so psyched for this release! One of my all-time favorite 70s guitar albums in surround - and at a good price!!!

 

[DennisMabry]

To this day, Robin Trower still stands as my favorite concert. Incredible performance. He played an extended version of "Too Rolling Stoned" that was just killer! This is a no brainer for me. Ordered.

 

[GOS]

I didn't get to see Robin until he was an older man. But, I saw him about 5 years ago in a theater locally and I was in the front. He was just amazing....

 

[4-earredwonder]

Hopefully if Bridge of Sighs sells well [which I predict it WILL], we'll start to see Procol Harum remastered for ATMOS/5.1

And a MOST STUNNING VERSION OF

 

[mandrix]

Ordered, of course. Last time I saw Trower in a video, he didn't look so good. Glad he's hanging on and was able to contribute.

 

[Bill B]

I know I got to see him once that I remember for sure... 1987. A small club in Baltimore where you could easily get a good view. Great concert and a great night. Still young enough to go out on a work night to see a concert and drink some beers, and willing to be miserable at work the next day. That ended with the 80's. LOL
I feel like I saw him one other time in that 1980 to 1990 time frame but, I guess those are phantom memories, or that was one hell of a night.

 

[elmer]

I saw Procol Harum w/ Robin Trower during support of Shine On Brightly in 1969 as the opening act for Blood, Sweat & Tears. Saw Robin many years later as a solo act and got to meet him - a true gentleman! Bridge Of Sighs is a guitar players album.

 

[GOS]

So, I wonder if the full album in instrumental format is in surround or stereo?

1	Blu-ray: Includes the 96KHZ 24 Bit Audio Stereo Versions of the 2024 Remasters, Newly Created Atmos and 5.1 in Addition to the Full Album in Instrumental Format and Collection of Outtakes

 

[LuvMyQuad]

Sounds like a real 5.1 mix too.

 

[4-earredwonder]

Ordered, of course. Last time I saw Trower in a video, he didn't look so good. Glad he's hanging on and was able to contribute.

Robert Leonard Trower will be 79 on March 9th ........while most are long retired at that ripened age, glad to see he's still active.
