An analog Atmos release would really be something.

Digital = precog market conditioning…

or

How I stopped searching for that rumored rare Japanese Atmos vinyl demodulator, and learned to love the streaming

 

[bayards]

While I understand the appeal of Avalon from an audiophile perspective, particularly given that the MCH SACD release is a “holy grail” item among collectors, am I alone in thinking that the Viva album was their last great piece of work?

I recall being in high school when Manifesto came out and wondering what the hell happened to Roxy Music. The adventurous, trend-setting rockers I loved turned into high-brow lounge lizards. While still great musicians, their music was now boring and lifeless to me.

If you are a fan of those last two studio albums, keep on listening and enjoying and don’t look back. However, I feel like they fell off of a cliff with Manifesto and Avalon. Other bands like Chicago, Heart, Genesis, etc., eventually got there as well in various forms, but not with the suddenness and surprise that enveloped Roxy Music.

Yes, you are alone Well at least from my perspective.
I love Flesh+Blood & Avalon. Completely agree that the change in the band's artistic trajectory was pretty sever but it was "Dance Away" that got me interested and Flesh+Blood that hooked me. Avalon's "More Than This" & the title cut were simply the BEST tunes for the couple's skate on Friday night at the North Olmsted ice rink.

The cold rink air, holding Mary D's hand as we skated clockwise around the barn as Ferry crooned away - had my heart racing. Definitely not boring or lifeless.

Truth be told, I was a little disappointed when I finally got the chance to see them live and they were a little too campy.

Yeah, I have no use for this. I'm pretty sure that there are thousands of people who would purchase a physical copy. And how many people are actually able to stream the full Dolby Atmos experience into a hi-fi system instead of headphones? Twenty-seven, maybe? Disappointing, to say the least.

Maybe this will be the December release that we’ll love from SDE

 

[MrSmithers]

Overall there’s not a ‘massive’ difference I could tell… But it’s starting from such a high bar… Some cool moments still though and was pleasantly surprised with a new real mix on track 4 - India.

What a fantastic album! I’ve only ever heard it in surround - and I wouldn’t (couldn’t!) listen to it any other way…

I do hope this gets released as lossless to reveal it’s full potential…

Right now in Southern CA I can hear the title cut in Atmos but the rest of the album is in stereo.

Sounds great by the way. On Apple
