[rtbluray]

Please post your thoughts and comments on this new reissue of the album "Into the Gap" by the Thompson Twins.
This new reissue on Blu-ray Audio disc is exclusive to the SDE online store and contains new remixes of the album in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround from mixing engineer David Kosten.

Not sure we should rate this disc until the issues with "Doctor! Doctor!" have been sorted out. They mistakenly put the version without vocals on the 5.1 mix, and there's another song where a speaker drops out about a minute in. They're going to have to replace these discs.

I'm going with a "9" on this one. Would be a definite '10" for me, if it wasn't for the missing vocals on the 5.1 of Doctor! Doctor!.

I love the mix that David Kosten made for this release. I can listen to the 7.1 Atmos mix downmixed for my system to 5.1. Very clean, punchy, crankable and like I said, loving the mix! Lot of vocals and bass that stands out from the center. Little to no LFE content on this one. I don't typically listen to the instrumental versions, so no big deal for me.

Would like to know more about the speaker drop-out (and how long is the drop-out) on which song exactly, must have missed that part somehow? I've only played it all the way through once myself.
Don't these SDE BD's get some kind of play testing for these kind of errors?

*edit- also, I had no trouble with my slip case fitting over the main case.
