I'm curious what is corrected in the quad mix. thx.
Yes, what @privateuniverse posted right after yours. I guess you could have turned 180 deg. around facing the rear speakers, but then the left and right channels would then be swapped. Bad feng shui would ensue! There’s a whole thread here someplace about known channel misassignments.
 
The Quad Mix corrects the channels which were inadvertently switched (front to back) on the 2012 DVD (which came with a vinyl LP).
Yes! Years ago I followed the recommendations here in QQ and swapped F/R Channels. The result was a demo-quality quad mix. Now I absolutely can’t wait to hear the quad Blu-ray mastering, and most of all the Atmos mix!
 
Atmos single released to Apple Music in the USA this morning
It's definitely different than the old quad mix. I'm not surprised that the drums and lead guitar that were previously isolated in the rear speakers have been reassigned to the fronts. There's some cool isolated piano popping up in the rear surrounds, along with the doubled vocals during the chorus. The center and height speakers aren't really used for any distinct elements (I was kinda hoping they'd stick the wailing guitar up there).

A Space in Time, the 1971 album from British rock band Ten Years After, is #7 in the continuing SDE Surround Series of exclusive Blu-ray Audios with Dolby Atmos Mixes.

The 1971 album is being reissued (belatedly) for its 50th anniversary. It was the group’s sixth, and best-selling album, featuring their best-known track ‘I’d Love To Change The World’, which is used regularly on film and TV (most recently in David O. Russell’s 2022 film Amsterdam). A Space in Time saw the band taking a more melodic direction from previous releases and showcased the band at their peak.

The Blu-ray Audio is only available via SDE and is packed with great content, as follows:

  • New Dolby Atmos Mix
  • 5.1 Mix (DTS HD-Master Audio 5.1)
  • 1973 Quad Mix (DTS HD-Master Audio 4.0)
  • 2023 Chris Kimsey Stereo Mix (48/24)
  • Flat transfer of the Original 1971 Mix (48/24)
The Quad Mix corrects the channels which were inadvertently switched (front to back) on the 2012 DVD (which came with a vinyl LP). The brand new stereo mix is by original producer/engineer, Chris Kimsey, using transfers from the original two-inch multitrack tapes. Chris’ work on the stereo mix was the basis for the new Atmos Mix.

Here’s the now traditional reminder as to why this product is highly recommended:

  • It’s the only way to enjoy the Dolby Atmos mix of the album via a physical product
  • You don’t need to sign-up to a streaming service such as Tidal or Apple Music to hear the spatial audio mix
  • The Atmos Mix on the blu-ray is not compressed due to streaming bandwidth restrictions
  • You own the product, you are not renting it from a digital service provider
  • The blu-ray audio is an excellent format for music and you don’t want to see it die off
  • Supporting SDE with these initiatives leads to similar collaborations with labels/artists and we are keen to bring your more in the near future
