Steven Wilson - The Future Bites - Atmos

[Cyber 1]

If you play it backward maybe you'll get a special message?

Now the Blu-ray, what I can say is that the difference in fidelity compared with Tidal is abismal, for those loving the album and having listened only in Tidal, my advice would be getting the standalone Blu-ray.
I'll try to check the bonus tracks during the weekend

I wouldn't dare to do that, as the backwards message can perfectly be: what a sucker you're, deluxe edition buyer
Anyway, I've been really lucky as my box from the UK skipped customs and I saved the VAT and the handling fee

I tried it, a voice from beyond the grave uttered "...ask for a refund.."

That's what I was hoping to read. Thanks for clearing that up.

The Blu-Ray is awesome, in terms of quality....love the 5.1 mix and the Atmos one, in fact on some track I think the 5.1 is already so damn good that you wouldn't need the Atmos mix..

You always need the Atmos mix.I would not play it much if not for the Atmos.

I wouldn't know...maybe it's because I have the basic Atmos setup in my home (5.1.2) but the comparison with the 5.1 mix wasn't absolutely "night and day"..I mean, you could tell the difference but it wasn't mind-blowing that is..just my opinion.

Atmos is not really meant to be a "mind-blowing" type of thing with music. Just a subtle enhancement that adds a valuable addition to the soundfield. Now with movies the effects can become much more dramatic with spacecraft flyovers and other such audio fun.

In some cases it subtle, like Inxs Kick, but try Steven Wilson The Future Bites and, holy moly!

I still can't believe what I'm going to say, but I'm enjoying a lot the cassette with the demos. Anyone but Me is a beautiful song that would have deserved to have made it to the album. It still pisses me off that all demos and bonus songs on cassette and CD are not in high-resolution in the bluray.

Amen to that!

SW mentioned The Visitors album in his 1981 podcast. Has anyone listened to the song The Visitors (same album) after this release? Is there some influence here, or what?

But they will be. Oh yes, they will be. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life. And probably on some yet to be determined super, duper, swear on a pile of bibles this is definitive, straight up missus, not joking this time, poke me in the eye and call me Susan if I'm lying, limited, ultimate, hyper, platinum, double gold, remastered, ultra deluxe, superior high resolution version, fully remixed into whatever the then current iteration of Dolby Atmos is (Atmos Super? Atmos Ultra? Atmos double plus good? Atmos Plus Extra Brilliant? Atmos Beezer? Atmos II - This Time It's Personal?)

It would, of course, be much more "ironic" and in keeping with the concept of Wilson's new album, if he'd released these tracks on an iPod, given how much he despised these devices.

New TFB session! One of my favorites from Lightbulb Sun.

Nile Rogers has remixed "Personal Shopper".

 

[Sixtyten]

I think all that "remix" proves is that no amount of extraneous footering by anyone, regardless of how much ability or raw talent they have, is going to make that track tolerable.

This album made me retag Blackfield as Heavy Metal ...
