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.
