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

[sjcorne]

I stand by my comments in post #322. The songs with the most production/overdubs - the title track, "In This Place", and "Too Rolling Stoned" - offer the best surround moments, but even the simpler power trio sections do sound effectively 'bigger' in Atmos since the double-tracked guitars are in both the front and side speakers (as someone else noted upthread, these appear discretely in the wides on a 9.1.x setup). The core band kind of forms a U-shape arc extending from the fronts to the sides, with isolated elements occasionally emerging from the rears or heights in a non-distracting (to me) way.

Plus, the tonality of the Atmos mix is pretty nice to my ears - which is hardly a guarantee with new surround releases.

Any chance Low Spark will see a BD release?
I’ll check to see if it’s on AM.

It's on Apple Music. I'm giving it a whirl now. I agree with you on how his Atmos mixes in general have been unimpressive.

From what I'm hearing so far, this may be his best Atmos mix he's done.

I’ll check it out soon!

I waited to order until June 12.
By that time it had gone out of stock at Amazon & importcds waiting for the second pressing.

Just got notice it's in the mail, apparently outsourced from importcds.
Price seems to be stable $42-44 range.

Been a long time crossing... Atlantic Ocean...

Great price for this right now on Amazon Canada. Haven’t heard glowing reviews on the surround mix but at $30 CAD I’ll probably bite at that price.

I gave it a 10. YMMV.

Don't hesitate, that limited time deal is 79% claimed.

I guess the way I looked at it was, would we ever get another surround mix of a seminal rock album?
Is it the best Atmos mix I ever heard. Not by a long shot. But there could be reasons for that beyond the mixer's control. IDK.
But here it is. Wish we could get more Trower in mch.

I am I think in the minority here, but I think they butchered the opening song, which sets the tone of what’s to follow. I found some of the new mixes great, but for me it was hard to get that first disappointing song, which sounds very different from the original (and IMHO) and worse, not better. I’d much rather listen to the stereo version of Day Of The Eagle!

It does get better after Eagle for sure.
