Roxy Music - Avalon (SDE Blu-Ray #36, May 9th, 2025)

Just curious since I don't have a wed access streaming Dolby Atmos set up, did Tony Visconti, David Bowie's producer, ever do a surround mix for Aladdin Sane or any other Bowie albums beside the Ziggy album. I just have an old 5.1 of Young Americans.

​

There is a surround mix of Station to Station . It is awful. (Visconti didn't do it). Visconti did do surround mixes of David Live, Stage, Heathen and Reality. All released on SACD or DVD-A. Space Oddity is also streaming in Atmos.

That makes sense. Yes - 90125 it is then!

Right at the time of a Close to the Edge reissue? Doubtful.

The Atmos version of "Introducing the Hardline According to" by Terence Trent D'Arby/Sananda Maitreya never got a physical version and was released July 1987 (still Mid 80's?). The original album sold 8 million copies and I was puzzled when they released the Atmos version that it never got a physical release.

I would love to have the physical disc in surround! Such a great record.

Thanks.

Introducing is the only TTD album I enjoy from start to finish, plenty of layering there for an Atmos mix - I would even be excited to hear the a cappella track.

I've ordered the bundle with the mystery #37, but I'm not as optimistic as some! I'm thinking that, if it was a really good album that we all wanted, then SDE would surely have announced what #37 was in order to increase their sales. The fact that it's not announced makes me think that it will be an album that wouldn't necessarily sell well by itself. But here's hoping, its only money!

...or you can cancel.

...or you can cancel.

I know, no-ones forcing me to buy the bundle, except for my own weakness and needs!

I am going to guess the mystery title is:
Paul Young
The Secret of Association
1985

released in the mid-80s
Paul obviously thinks whatever the mystery title is will pair well with Avalon
Both albums share a sophisticated, polished sound
Both singers have a cultivated, suave, well-dressed persona during the period
The most popular songs on both releases share a theme regarding love and longing
Paul has been involved in curating and overseeing expanded editions of Young’s work, including deluxe reissues of albums along with interviewing Young multiple times for SDE, and of course having released No Parlez as an exclusive Blu-ray with Atmos
