If you zoom in onto the BD pictured above, it reads "Atmos, 7.1, 5.1 and binaural mixes by Mark Vreeken".

Here's the announcement from the second disc:

One of the more popular Hip albums. Sounds like a dedicated 5.1 mix. Nice.

 

[DuncanS]

I'd never heard of the band, bought the first box set really liked it so bought the 2nd I wonder what this one will cost on this side of the pond

 

[dobyblue]

With the exception of Road Apples, the surround mixes have been enjoyable...thrilled to see they didn't forget about Up To Here and are continuing the surround options as well as not offering them only with vinyl. This one is the "thinnest" sounding of the albums, really look forward to hearing if the surround mixes will make this sound a bit more inline with albums like Fully, Road and Phantom.

I would buy just about any Hip album done like this, maybe In Between Evolution would be the only one I'd skip but I really love all the others.

The Tragically Hip Atmos mixes are quite nice - well, the Mark Vreeken ones anyway, Rich Chycki's Road Apples is about as good (bad) as his Rush mixes. I think all of them are available on Apple Music so you can possibly audition before you make a major outlay on a Blu-Ray box set.

My only issue is that the most recent one, Phantom Power, seems to have the center channel at least 3dB too loud and as a result it sounds like Gord is shouting through a megaphone over top of a backing track that doesn't have enough ...power. I think others on here may have mentioned this as well - not sure if the streaming version is similarly affected, or even if it's by design or an accident, but Fully Completely (another Vreeken mix) isn't mixed like this. I wonder if there's a way to lower the center channel volume and maintain the Atmos encoding? I can obviously turn my center speaker volume down when listening but it's annoying to have to fiddle with it.

 

[dobyblue]

Is there an app you can use? I have a Marantz AVR and the app makes adjusting channel volume a doddle compared to futzing about with the remote

 

[LuvMyQuad]

My AVP has trim buttons to allow temporary (ie: until changed back or powered off) level adjustments for heights, center, surrounds, etc.

 

[JediJoker]

Man, I wish they'd offer a repackage of Fully Completely with CDs instead of vinyl to go along with the Blu-ray.

I couldn’t wait any longer, so I got a copy of the boxset on Discogs for $90. Worth it to me to have this in surround before it potentially goes out of print. The Mark Vreeken mix is excellent. Looking forward to the Up to Here box.

Damn, was the vinyl trashed? How'd you score one for that little?

It was new in the box. Came from a record store in Texas. I was very surprised to find it at this price.

great preorder price currently

 

[dobyblue]

Awesome price, even after import duties and 38% FX it’s still CAD30 cheaper than Amazon CA. Pre-ordered!

 

[Willie Wilson]

All in. Thank you for the heads up.

Amazon was blowing them out last summer for ~$80.

MAD LOVE to @popshop , who inspired me to cancel all my preorders and support my local record store! Tim at Squeezebox was able to match the price!
