Tim Bowness - Powder Dry new album with Steven Wilson 5.1 mix (CD/DVD-V + FLAC Download)

[SeeMoreDigital]

All of B.O.C.'s live BD's are DD. I can sort of see it in this case, but still rather have DTS.
OK through ranting.

With regard to music it's Dolby's use of dialnorm that doesn't do them any favours, along with the relatively low (but DVD spec compliant) 448 bitrate. That being said, this bitrate can actually be increased to the Blu-ray spec compliant bitrate of 640 without any hardware player having an issue!

Well I look forward to receiving Tim's album just the same. If the music is good enough I'll be happy. With SW doing the mixing that's a major plus.

Yes, that's exactly where I'm at.

seems they were definitely going for a particular sound on this one, some of it having a real edgy feel with some slight clipping on some channels; with a very nice mix of course. Be interested to hear what other think. I just need to dig deeper into the actual music/lyrics. 03 - When Summer Comes is a nice song... only a few songs in so far though

LFE is a mess (on the tracks that have it). Delayed maybe 15-20ms and possibly inverted. I'm too old to keep trying to figure out how screwed up they are.

Listening now, I like it. Kind of basic but with some nice Steven Wilson elements.
5.1 ripped DVD-FLAC File 24bit/48Khz. DR's are 10, 11's, 13, 15.

I haven't heard it yet (so much music, so little time), which I must do before deciding whether I want to buy it physically or not. Although I've liked all of his solo albums I know to date (I own three, two of them in surround), I've always had a hard time listening to any album that includes so many short tracks. It totally messes with my focus having to deal with many frequent pauses in the music between one song and the next - it feels like reading a book in which each chapter only lasts for one page or two. But that's just me.

Yes, I arranged with TB and SW to get this up there as we needed lossless. Soft launch really as we are looking to get the CD booklet into the package.

Putting the DTS logo on the back of the packaging with no DTS stream to be found on the disc and offering a hi-res download soon after the release date feels like a borderline scam. Everyone who purchased a physical copy with the misleading packaging should have been offered a free download of the 5.1 tracks in DTS quality or higher by the artist. Emphasis to clarify that this has nothing to do with IAA, to whom many thanks for making this and lots of other surround hi-res titles available to purchase.
