With the announcement of a Surround Sound Series from SuperDeluxeEdition.com (aka SDE) I thought it might be a good idea to have a dedicated thread for this new series. At the moment of course we know that the series has started off with two titles:

#1: Tears For Fears - The Tipping Point (limited edition of 2,000 copies)
#2: xPropaganda - The Heart is Strange (limited edition of 1,000 copies)

Looking forward to seeing what the future will bring. With the future in mind, I just sent an e-mail to SDE editor Paul Sinclair:

Hello Paul -

I just wanted to say how excited and grateful I am for the new SDE Surround Sound series. Those of us who enjoy surround sound have been feeling neglected by the record companies. It's wonderful to have you championing surround sound and making new releases happen.

I also wanted to mention that when the record companies started to lose interest in surround sound around twenty years ago, there were many classic albums that had surround mixes completed that have never been released. About twenty years ago, Universal released several classic Elton John albums in surround sound. However, the engineer who created these surround mixes (Greg Penny) has confirmed in interviews that he completed surround mixes of several Elton albums that have never been released. (These include Blue Moves, Caribou, Don't Shoot Me, Rock of the Westies and Made in England). Tony Visconti has mentioned in interviews that he completed surround mixes for Bowie's Lodger and Low years ago; neither has ever been released. Decades ago Eliot Scheiner had mentioned that he completed a surround mix of Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic which also remains unreleased. The list goes on.... Do you think that there is any chance that you might be able to strike a deal with the labels to get these released through the SDE Surround Series? I know that there are a lot of people who would be very excited to have them. (There is regular chatter over on the QuadraphonicQuad forum about this). It's a shame that these surround mixes have been gathering dust in a vault somewhere. Your surround series could be a perfect avenue for their release.

Thank you again for being a champion for surround sound. It is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, fixed.

Me too. On the other hand, She/they are not on my radar at all, so I won't give an ounce of "****" if any multi-channel comes out.

Oh, you are missing out. She/they are truly wonderful. Always an enjoying listen.

 

[GOS]

Yeah, probably true. I edited my post, sounded a bit ridiculous on my part. lol

Everyone's taste is different. I always respect that, even if I totally disagree.

 

[ubertrout]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I'm definitely on the hard pass side. Discographies was on the money here:



Then again, I'm into a lot of stuff that's a hard pass for many. The more variety the better.

EDIT - dumb thing to say......I'm sure there are lots of fans who would love some multi-channel Sade.

No doubt. Some great albums that would sound AMAZING if mixed well in MC.

 

[key_wiz]

Me neither.
I guess you could say she is the Van Halen of her band.

Or the Alice Cooper.

 

[Tres Discrete]

Oh, you are missing out. She/they are truly wonderful. Always an enjoying listen.

I’d be all over that!
Love her voice, great songs, and enough jazz/pop to make for quite compelling surround mixes I would think. In fact, my heart skipped a beat when I saw the cover art on SDE thinking she was next in the Surround Series

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Had to go back through the post 1 table, almost missed the Keane title, but apparently there are still some available

Need to keep a close on this thread!

Do you mean “keep a keen eye” Jeff?

 

[CINERAMAX]

Someone said Jeff, I thought I heard Jeff Beck in Atmos. Woof woof!

I was going to place an order with SDE shipping to the US and this time I paid a little closer attention before checking out. The conversion of pounds to dollars isn’t exact, and the dollars are actually rounded up making it $30 a pop per Blu-ray audio disc and ordering two is still $16 in shipping. So I’m in for $76 before tax and before the fees my credit card charges for currency conversion. I’m glad I pumped the brakes! I’m trying to support but holy smokes!

No doubt this passion/hobby is hard on the wallet. You have to make hard decisions even though you’d like to have everything.

I stopped my consecutive series run with Wham because I wasn’t too into Keane or Luther Vandross. Then I cutback elsewhere and was going to purchase them but decided to use some restraint right before checkout!

The SDE series has mostly been excellent, but yes, very expensive if you're living OS. I'm in Oz. And other opportunities pop up that we may not want to miss out on either.

 

[JDeanB]

For the first time in months, I have only one 'unfulfilled' order (Keane) with the SDE Shop. Wonder if a new announcement is forthcoming.

 

[CINERAMAX]

4 Titles shipping this week....

[CINERAMAX]

Where can I find more Chris Porter Atmos mixes, he is Number 1 in placement of instruments overhead, and certainly a valid competitor for Mr. Wilson and the German mixers that did Kraftwerk and Boris Blank. He is the new Rising Star and should get a Grammy.
