Tears for Fears - "The Seeds of Love" (Steven Wilson 5.1 Remix out on October 9th!)

[sjcorne]

Has anyone from Importcds not had theirs shipped yet? I'm a little disappointed to be honest. Preordered this two months ago.

Ordered from ImportCDs as well, no pre-order notification for me either

Anyone got their shipping notice from Amazon.co.uk yet? I chatted to them the other day and they told me even though the release day was today.....it won't ship out til this coming Monday.......same for the Lennon set....but for what I paid...I'm not complaining

Have a wait ahead of me from Amazon UK.....I'll just have to live vicariously through those who have it for now..

Same message for me as well

Ditto here but I wonder if I should just cancel and reorder locally as I did not get the early bird price...

The DTS-MA stream is probably nothing more than a losslessly compressed version of the LPCM stream. I usually just rip the LPCM stream if one is available. Why go through the extra decode step? But if you feel you can hear a difference....


There is no requirement or standard for it to be 96kHz. And 48kHz is pretty common. I think all the new Atmos mixes are 48kHz as well. What rtbluray said makes the most sense.


That's the truly strange part.

Did I read that correctly, the Walters and Ludwig 2.0 masterings are only 16/48?

I will be in the definite minority here but though an SW 5.1 mix and assorted demos etc, are nice, I will only play them once.
It’s HiRez 2.0 I listen to 99% of the time. Doesn’t look like I’m getting that here.

I read, I think on super deluxe dot com, that this was due to a limitation in the master tapes.

My copy of this and Ultravox have both shipped from ImportCDs, expected on Tuesday.

Got a big surprise this morning looking to see whether Vienna had shipped. Seed which previously indicated delivery on October 13 was listed as out for delivery.

Listening through for a second time. It’s a damn good album. The surround mix is immersive, discrete and very engaging, I remember when the World Premiere video of Sowing the Seeds of Love was broadcast and not liking the sone all that much. i liked Shout and Rule the World much more. Never bought the album. I didn't buy Big Chair either, until the SDE came out.

After listening to both, this is a much more adventurous album. Listing to the surround, I have no idea how the fit it into a step mix. I’ll have to give the Ludwig a listen.

I wonder what Tears For Fears album they would do next. Would they go backwards to The Hurting? Forwards to Elemental? Or skip to Everybody Loves a Happy Ending?

Hasn't "The Hurting" already been done?

Only in stereo though, unfortunately.

I know Elemental was prepared years ago already, but that was just a double CD. Everybody Loves a Happy Ending seems like a good idea to me. That album certainly needs a remaster, and given how dense the recording is, a 5.1 could also really open it up.

Unfortunately, I can't really see them doing The Hurting again, since there already was a stereo-only Blu-Ray.

So please do NOT post in the thread unless you actually have the release and have heard it!

Oops, too late. (Well, I have it, but can't currently listen to the 5.1)

Some Doobie

Kinda silly..but then..
My order still states "TBC" as artist and title in yamazon england...
Hope I don´t get a package named with artist and title "TBC"...

Now, if it were THC!!!!...

I’m also waiting on “TBC”, wondering why it is still listed as such. Looks like it is third party vendor with a 90% approval rating.

Those demos and jams are pure gold...

 

[rusinurbe]

The Intro is the same but after the reversed drums the song starts a liiiitle too low in volume (equally One Of These Days - Pink Floyd)
At 2:29 there is a drop of the strings
At 2:41 trumpets are missing
At 2:51 the strings built-up is too loud

Stevens notes on the mix are pretty much full disclosure on lost bits and a couple of points where he had to take elements from the stereo masters.
Bloody brilliant mix given the challenges of finding all the multitrack eldments

 

[Toto4Ever]

"7 stops away"....

 

[Toto4Ever]

Arrived....

I think the only way to get a 5.1 mix of songs from The Hurting would be the Greatest Hits dvd.
