Bull Moose has it in stock.Anyone able to find just the CD? I have the Blu-ray on the way, but I'll be damned if I can find the CD for sale. Amazon says it won't ship until November

Relax, my mistake. I assumed that what was coming Monday. I too got a November date. I am cancelling on general principle. My blu-ray is on the way from Burning Shed so F Amazon and F Steven Wilson for making this release so hard to get in the U.S.I did the same and it says delivery in November. WTF?!?!?!
Not surprising, though. Multichannel downloads haven't really caught on, have they?FLAC = No Atmos![]()
Hard to make that claim when no one's ever really tried to offer them in the first place. Most artists/labels I've spoken to seem to think Atmos only works with streaming...Multichannel downloads haven't really caught on, have they?
That is both sad and irritating that people in the industry are that clueless. With the number of Atmos releases we've seen in the last couple of year of high profile artists and albums (Beatles, Floyd, Who, Rush, etc.) you'd think it would be common knowledge amongst those in the industry. What are they, on dope?...Most artists/labels I've spoken to seem to think Atmos only works with streaming...
I dont think they're clueless, they just know the market. The amount of people listening to multi-channel music properly (ie not headphone "Atmos") is small. Then slice that up again to the even smaller group who purchase physical media multi-channel music. Then slice that up again to the infinitesimally small group of us who utilize software like Kodi, Roon etc to listen to multi-channel music. Supporting sites like IAA is a grassroots effort for now.That is both sad and irritating that people in the industry are that clueless.

Well according to @sjcorne they must be if “they think Atmos only works with streaming”.I dont think they're clueless, they just know the market.

I did the reverse and listened to the Atmos version before the stereo version. I’ve been listening to the stereo version all day today while driving, and if I would have done this before listening to the Atmos version, I would have the same opinion.I think it’s great that so many love this album. For me, based purely on the stereo version, this one is another miss by Steven. The songs are very repetitive and, frankly, kind of boring. The second track is ok, and “Staircase” has a couple of cool moments, but the music and lyrics just don’t take me anywhere (at least nowhere I’m interested in going). I’m not feeling the excitement I get when listening to albums like Raven, Hand, and Absentia. This sounds like Steven moving back towards his pre-Raven solo material, which I’m not that into. Just my opinion and a heads up for those with similar tastes as myself.
Totally agree! This album can only unfold and do its magic when heard in Atmos or at least in Surround. Musically, I like earlier SW albums more but sonically it is absolutely outstanding.It almost seems like SW wrote this album with Atmos/Multi-channel in mind first. The multi-channel mix makes a completely different experience than the stereo version.
I received mine from Burning Shed on Friday.Has anyone received the DeLuxe Book yet? I've got an order confirmation from SW shop (tmstor.es) but nothing regarding a delay or so.
