Whaaaa? I thought everyone kept their old cassette deck. No, seriously, I still have a dual cassette deck, somewhere. lol.
But yeah, just the BD is all I want.
Steven is definitely 100% aware of the irony in those lyrics and what he is actually promoting.
But at least he's giving us full choice over formats and editions.
The way I look at it is I would rather SW give us 40 minutes of amazing music than 50-70 minutes of music filled with lots of mediocre filler. So many of my favorite albums are less than 50 minutes in length so this is not a problem for me at all.

I totally agree! He's a good man, it seems, with his feet firmly rooted. I have zero problems with the evolution of his music. I think it sounds great. One thing for sure, in another 3-4 years, he will sound different again. Once we get a US option for purchase, I'll be ordering. The standalone that is.

I'm curious as to how he got Elton involved. Maybe he's been doing some surround mixes for him?
I would recommend the Atmos height speakers.
1. They add alot even for stereo playback. I use the Atmos Upmix on my Yamaha and it's great.
2. You've gotta have Atmos for movies.
3. I like Atmos for some types of music.
Where do you get the album length from?

Ha! Yep, I still have a cassette deck somewhere too
Pretty sure the first thing that anyone who plays the cassette will do is rip it to a digital format, which is the daftest part!
I know it's sacrilege, but I'm not digging "Personal Shopper". I wasn't a huge fan of "To The Bone" either, although there are a few tunes I love on it. I'm sure, however, that I'll find something to love here as well (aside from the 5.1 mix, which should be excellent )
)I'm with you there. After 25 years of listening to No-Man, Porcupine Tree, and his solo work, I feel that he and I have finally parted ways.I know it's sacrilege, but I'm not digging "Personal Shopper".

Based on the somewhat techno vibe of this first song, and assuming the mix is up to Mr. Wilson's normal standards, this should sound killer in ATMOS.
Can't wait!
Can't wait!
I also think this “cassette only” extra stuff is a bit silly. When buying the so-called deluxe set it should include everything that the other individual formats have. It’s not out until June, maybe it can still be changed and added to the Blu-ray.
These two are interesting.
Elton John - voice. Not vocals? Voice. Is he not actually singing?
Fyfe Dangerfied: These are the two surnames of two of Australia’s biggest AFL football stars (Both have won the equivalent to MVP in last few years). What’s the chances of someone having both those names?
Although To the Bone was my Disappointment of the Year, I saw the announcement for Future Bites in my email at 5vam, caved in, and sprung for the big box with the exorbitant shipping charges. With so many upcoming concerts being cancelled, a June treat seemed like a winner. Now hearing the single, well...we'll see
Plenty of artists are releasing cassettes these days in low quantities. The trouble is finding a deck of decent quality to play them on. I sadly learned that my high end deck's rubber parts had turned to stone, and waited seven months for a repair. Good rehabbed decks sell for big money on eBay. I just take the cassette release in a spirit of having a little fun--nothing that promises quality sound and nothing to be a trigger for outrage.

Good to see another SW album being released. It will probably be the standalone BD for me this time. As much as I like the instrumentals and demos, the prices of the big sets are getting a bit too high for my taste.
Thanks for having the stand alone option!

I have now listened to the song twice. First time thinking yea great sonics and beat. Then the voiceover starts and continues and continues.
Second time the boring factor starts to surface. I could see listening to this in a car then skipping or fast forward (cassette days reference)
When Bowie did the voice over name dropping in Satellites it was cool.
So... I will have to hear another song before deciding. This is 9 minutes I will be skipping over.
Note I did not like and did not buy to the bone. Reminds me of when I jumped off the U2 boat.....

Elton John is reciting a shopping list about half way through the song, so yes, voice not vocals! I wonder how Steven Wilson got him to do that!
Interesting. Wonder why the times aren't listed anywhere else.
