I see that Sarah McLachlan is doing a 30th anniversary tour for Fumbling Toward Ecstasy. Would love to see SDE release a Steven Wilson surround mix of the album. Sarah performed "Possession" on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week and I thought she sounded great.
I could NOT agree MORE! This would make a fantastic SDE release! Paul Sinclair are you listening?!
 
Of these I can see:

The Flaming Lips, 3 existing 5.1 mixes and a teased Yoshimi Atmos mix

Brian Eno, already had a release through SDE, and since then had 5 older albums receive streaming only mixes

Sigur Ros, two concert films with good, discrete 5.1 mixes (Heima was promised a 4K release about two years ago that hasn’t materialized just yet), as well as 3 streaming Atmos mixes, and a potential live album in atmos (a recording crew posted a tweet mentioning they recorded it with Atmos in mind… then promptly deleted the tweet)

Vangelis’s final album Juno to Jupiter has a streaming mix, there’s a distinct possibility of a release there

The Future Sound Of London, when they quit Virgin records claimed that “stereo sucks” and promised to release 5.1 mixes with their newfound freedom. They never did, though A Gigantic Globular Burst Of Antistatic, the album claimed to be their first 5.1 release did see a 5.1 version… for a museum exhibit. No 5.1 or other multichannel releases have actually been made.

Moby, the “Reprise” album of orchestral versions of classics got a Streaming atmos mix with a wide release disc a few months later. He has another album in that vein, Resound NYC that has a streaming atmos mix, but no disc atmos release
Yoshimi is amazing !
 
All of the unreleased Elton John surround mixes by Greg Penny, Don' Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player, Caribou, Rock of The Westies and Blue Moves. I even heard that Here and There was done as well but not sure about that.
I'm repeating my own plea to get the unreleased Elton surround mixes from Greg Penny out. It seems like BD-Audio releases are starting to pick up so why not get the rest of Eton out there on physical media. Come on EJ management! Get with the program! :) A limited release similar to the RSD Caribou would be fine with me. I'm fairly sure you could sell 3000 copies.

no negative vibes here now Freddie, people can change their mind.

Your turn. And someone other than EJ, that’d be a no brainer :)
well, i mean like a Mark Hollis/Kate Bush type stance, not a nonchalant they "just don't give a toss" vibe 🤷🏻‍♀️

i'm not sure how much international commercial appeal there'd be for some UK acts that didn't crossover but i'd like SDE to continue in pretty much the same vein, lots of UK Bands and artists music in Atmos..

George Michael's solo catalogue, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Yazoo/Alison Moyet, Communards/Bronski Beat, Spandau Ballet, Simply Red, Culture Club, OMD, Human League, New Order, Tears For Fears, Eurythmics, The Cure, The Smiths, Duran Duran, Blur, Gorillaz, Oasis, Suede, Supergrass, Stereophonics, Pulp, Manic Street Preachers, Travis, Mika, Robbie Williams/Take That, Cardigans, Texas, Snow Patrol, Kasabian, Joss Stone, Verve, Stone Roses, Jamiroquai, Moloko, Goldfrapp..

internationally there's loads of acts i'd love to get the SDE Surround treatment..

..Elton, obviously would be my first choice, the "Diamonds" compilation in Atmos, 5.1 & decent Stereo would be a good place to start and test the waters but also EJ's Classic Albums from 1970's eponymous LP upto and including "Blue Moves" all worthwhile and viable imho.

then Queen/Freddie, Van Halen, Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Chic, Daft Punk, Isaac Hayes, Bee Gees, Tina Turner, Lionel Richie, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Temptations, Four Tops, Al Green, Donna Summer, Rufus/Chaka Khan, George Benson, Al Jarreau, Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, Beatles, Kylie Minogue, Shapeshifters, Gnarls Barkley, Madonna, Cher, Gladys Knight, Diana Ross/Supremes, Heatwave, Randy Crawford, Crusaders, Alicia Keys, India Arie, Groove Armada, Hall & Oates, Rainbow, Toto, Earth Wind & Fire, Herbie Hancock, Mariah Carey, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Neil Diamond, Foreigner, Boston, Guns N Roses, The Cars, Roy Ayers, Tony Williams Lifetime, George Duke, The Kinks, Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Marley, Rick James, Maroon 5, Scissor Sisters, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, J-Lo, Röyksopp, Supertramp, The Killers, Eric Clapton, Stevie Winwood, Boz Scaggs, CCR, Little Feat, Rufus Wainwright, Imagine Dragons, Jacob Collier, Kansas...

Is that all???
😁
 
Yep, everything that the old HFPA issue had + the two 5.1 mixes would be awesome.

Same goes for Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On:
  • 2022 Dolby Atmos mixes of "Let's Get It On" & "Distant Lover" (from the Every Motown Hit comp)
  • 2004 Cal Harris & Jeff Glixman 5.1 mix
  • 1997 Brant S. Biles 5.1 mixes of "Let's Get It On" & "Distant Lover" (from the Forever Yours comp)
  • 1974 quadraphonic mix
  • 1973 original stereo mix
Oh, did Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On", ever have any type of surround mix, would LOVE that.
 
Allman Brothers - Eat A Peach
  • 2022 Dolby Atmos mix
  • 2004 Jeff Glixman 5.1 mix
  • 1975 quadraphonic mix
  • 1972 original stereo mix
Roxy Music - Roxy Music
  • 2018 Steven Wilson 5.1 & stereo mixes (I think the stereo remix was only released on vinyl?)
  • 1972 original stereo mix
  • Demos & outtakes from the 2018 box set
Love ROXY, my SACD surround mix of AVALON just explodes in the room, one of my fav surround discs.
