SDE’s Surround Series - Your Fantasy Wishlist

[Ryk]

Just wondered what the first SDE Surround Series Atmos blu-ray announcement will be for 2025...

I hope you are Watching as it could start with a ...Bang, but If You Let Me Stay following that, I'd Break it Down Again and offer some Advice for the Young at Heart, then again, it could leave us All Revved Up With No Place to Go or it could just leave you wanting More, and on that note, I'll say Goodbye Stranger.

What's your best guess at the next announcement title?

Pyramid Alan Parsons is $32 on Amazon now.

King Crimson is on the Atmos bandwagon. Where can I sell all my old CD/DVD 5.1 King Crimson sets? Anyone? Yikes!

Personally, I'd prefer Mogwai, although I've ignored them in the past.

I haven't heard about any Atmos versions of the first 2 albums, are they coming in Atmos? Not a fan without Greg Lake.

Either of these and I would be happy

This showed up in the tail end of 2022, and currently of the list, Larks’ has shown up (along with Red, not listed). It sure sounds like Wake is due for one at some point.

In The Court of The Crimson King has one since 2020, locked inside the insanely big and expensive “The Complete 1969 Recordings” box set, a 26 disc + artbook set. I’ve been hoping that one gets a more… streamlined… re-release in the same 2-3CD 1-2BR sets that the recent Atmos re-releases have been getting.

At the moment however, if you’re willing to shell out the dough for that 1969 set, you can get Court, Larks, and Red all in Atmos.

Perhaps all the posts/replies from #2055 would be better served within the forums existing SDE’s Surround Series - Your Fantasy Wishlist topic...

Sell them on Discogs, Ebay or Facebook Marketplace

I really want Elemental and especially Raoul & the Kings of Spain from TFF but not holding my breath as Steven Wilson is going on tour soon (remix). I know the entire Bjork catalog is being remixed for Atmos, supposedly in a box set and individual discs. No release date. Pink Floyd The Wall is a possibility (Atmos). But Rush was supposed to do "something big" for their 50th Anniversary last year, according to producer Terry Brown, but whether it was surrounding their first album reissue or another type of boxed set, he didn't know. What also passed us by is the 40th Anniversary of Grace Under Pressure. I hope they wise up and stop box-locking the Blu-Rays.

• Moby: Play
  
  Spoiler: The blah blah

  So many textures... but something tells me its production is baked in ways that wouldn't work. Others know better and I'd be ecstatic to be wrong.

Actually Moby's Play has an unreleased 5.1 mix that was destined for DVD-Audio, so this one is probably possible.

Lizard is a glittering gem of menace that could sound spectacular in Atmos, and I'm very curious to hear what Steven Wilson will do with The Devil's Triangle in Atmos given the source limitations. Along with the Atmos mix of ITCOTCK, I expect these to be definitive releases of the early albums.

Any more Mike Oldfield coming I wonder? We’re certainly due Hergest Ridge (a personal favourite) surely?

 

[JulesRules]

I wouldn't bet on it. Ommadawn or Crises might be more likely.

I’d happily take either of those too!!

Great to see Doves get a mention here. Sorely underrated outside the UK.

sans Roller Skates of course

Great to have all these Bryan Ferry songs in Atmos. The tracks from Boys And Girls do shine. Can't wait for the the rest I wish they had included more tracks from Mamouna (Your Painted Smile is the only one in this compilation). Mamouna is a great sounding album and in many ways closer related to Avalon and Boys And Girls than the albums in between. IMO Mamouna has one of the best mixes Bob Clearmountain did in the old CD/stereo era. It really deserves an Atmos mix. Let's hope for a complete Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry catalogue in Atmos. With this kind of quality I would buy it all in HiRes.

Having just heard the song "Your Painted Smile" off his new "RETROSPECTIVE" SDE release; I would now also love the whole Mamouna album in Atmos/5.1- great stuff!!!

I wasn't familiar with that album, but after sampling it, and as you say with a great Clearmountain mix; I'm now thinking of picking up this LP set (hopefully better DRs than the CDs.)
