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

[Barbazul]

I also cancelled my MusicVaultz order as no shipping date on the horizon and Amazon Mexico is selling it at the same price! Fortunately it's on its way home!
Now I'm hunting the Gimme Some Truth Box Set (blu-ray version) as I purchased both boxes there.

It's weird, apparently you have to do it through a customer service form. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, click "Contact Us", then select "Cancel Order Request" as the subject. I'm hoping it doesn't turn into a hassle getting them to issue the credit.

Had to do the same. I thought this was strange, too....

 

[splinter7]

Strange but it seemed to work. ImportCD responded and indicated that my order was cancelled and Amazon says my copy will be at my door tomorrow.

 

[jkoolpe]

Yep, I cancelled in the same way and received an email confirmation as such today. Hopefully my order from the Amazon seller will arrive soon .

 

[minimumtumbleweed]

Finally arrived (from Amazon)! Looking forward to giving it a listen tomorrow while "working from home"...

Seriously, WTF!!
...if not for my inquiry I guess I'd never know my order had been cancelled...I've spent a fair amount of coin on these guys to have orders blown off without any notification...Hello Bull Moose I suppose...

Mr Wilson, please surround me The Hurting like Thais, my favourite TFF album

I would be up for that, it was to bad it didn't get the 5.1 treatment in it's boxset. 'The Hurting' is a special album for me as well and I bought the boxset even without the 5.1.

 

[Scott65]

mine has arrived. Packaging is great. Now to try the surround mix.

The forum really needs a dedicated section for reviewing how releases are delivered.

I finally received my copy last week (from an Amazon seller), and of course immediately listed to the 5.1 mix. Very good indeed upon a first listen.

But...not related to the above, I tried to listen to the other discs (not the 5.1 disc), and the two I tried to load into my Samsung UBD-K8500 Blu-ray player would not read at all and were spit back out with the "unreadable" message on my screen .

I put them in another, regular DVD player (a Denon in this case), and they read and played just fine.

Anyone else encounter reading issues for the non-5.1 CDs with this set?

I did check, and the player is updated with the latest software.

Me too, I was starting to think it would never happen

Listening to this now for the second time. Never owned or heard this before. What an excellent album and surround mix. Right up there with Songs from the Big Chair. So glad I preorder from Amazon and got it at a decent price.

I had noticed the order was process a bit ago.. and was pleased to see that it finally shipped. Now, the wait is on for delivery as I am here in the USA.

Wow! Sounds great with Spatial Audio on Apple AirPods Pro
Ripped the Blu-ray using MakeMKV and DVDAE on my iMac to get the lossless 24/48 LPCM layer (5.1), including chapters for each song. I've been enjoying listening to the album on my home entertainment system through PLEX for a couple weeks now. My wife bought me the new Apple AirPods Pros for Christmas and I came across the "Spatial Audio" feature they offered for 5.1 and 7.1 video content and thought, I've got to try this out on this album. Must say, it doesn't disappoint.

Used Handbrake to convert the MKV file to M4V file with Audio Mixdown to 5.1 using AAC. Transferred M4V to iPhone using Apple TV app. Instead of "Music" app, I use the "Apple TV" app on my iPhone to play the 5.1 content. Obviously, it's a bit different than listening to the discrete material on a true 5.1 system, but it's certainly more lively and immersive than normal 2.0 stereo headphones.

Mine finally arrived from MusicVaultz this morning. I ordered on September 23rd. Glad I didn't cancel. I'm not sure what the deal was. Their website still shows "Sold Out".

Pretty sure spatial audio only works with Dolby Atmos content...

Strilo - As mentioned, not truly "discrete" 5.1 audio, but I can confirm in addition to Dolby Atmos, Spatial Audio works with 5.1 and 7.1, as well. Will only play on iPhone 7 and above, and your phone has to be placed flat in front of you. The Spatial Audio uses the AirPods Pro's built-in accelerometers and gyroscopes to track the motion of your head while simultaneously tracking the position of your iPhone with their accelerometers and gyroscopes. Definitely a more interesting listen than traditional 2.0 stereo.

Apple's new AirPods Pro spatial audio feature is here, and it lives up to the hype
