[rtbluray]

Please post your thoughts and comments on this new edition of the album "Sylva" by Snarky Puppy, now available as a CD/Blu-Ray set with Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround mixes

Very remarkable. The group and the orchestra integrate seamlessly, and the sound is stellar. Unlike large venue concerts, this appeared to be a relatively small area with few people so you don't get any audience racket and reverberations other than mostly polite applause.
No "Royal Albert Hall" full of screams and whistles and plethora of unwanted racket.
The film crew was by and large unobtrusive.
All in all one of most deserved 10 ratings I've given in a long time.
Whether the music appeals or not to your particular tastes, the performance and recording/mixing was excellent.
I have only listened to the Atmos version, and this is what I based my rating on.

I have a difficult time wrapping my head around this amazing band. 18 band members (how does this financially pencil out ) and how in the world these live recordings can sound this good. It's uncanny. I'll reserve my vote until I get my bluray, but I don't see how it cannot be a 10 after listening to the streamed version.

My only criticism is their store marketing could use some help. It's clear as mud as to what the bluray contains from a format perspective. Neither the description of Sylva or Empire Central mention anything about Atmos, or even the fact that its mixed in surround at all.

Yes, I've checked it out on Tidal, amazing stuff. Ten for sure. But I'm not rating it as I don't actually own it.

Love this. Music is amazing and surround mix fills the room. One of my new favorites. An easy 10

Are the chapters screwed up for other peoples' blu-ray discs as well?

The times don't match the Atmos release on Apple Music and the ast chapter / song is only 0:01 long on mine.

Also, the blu-ray only reports being 54:58 long, while the Atmos album on Apple Music is 1:15:00 long. Looks like a blu-ray authoring error or something else strange.

Plays fine for me (ripped as .iso). I don't examine minutiae like track times, especially compared to streaming versions: I mean, why?
No offense meant.

Only becuase the physical blu-ray says it has 8 songs. Skipping to song 8 and it's only 1 second, is problematic.

It appears the blu-ray only has 6 actual songs, even though it's listed on the packaging and disc as 8.

I agree completely that there are people that are very good at authoring BD's, and some not so much.
Plus we know no one ever screws up and makes obvious mistakes.

It seems also they had a hard time getting this release out. I don't know if it was authoring or pressing/both.
I don't debate your point, I just think it's an excellent release.

The music and mix is fantastic. I just wanted to make sure I got all of it off the disc :~)
