WHO’S NEXT/LIFEHOUSE Box set coming in September 2023 (STEVEN WILSON DOLBY ATMOS & 5.1 MIXES CONFIRMED!!)

[ar surround]

Now, perhaps we should ask ourselves: If a standalone Blu-ray of DSOTM came out months after release of the big box set, does the same future hold for Who's Next?

Hmmmmmm.

Well, I’m sticking with the big box order even if a standalone blu-ray is a good possibility. I can rationalize this purchase in so many ways, the biggest reason of which is…Well I can rationalize buying this.

I saw Amazon US was down to $257.99; and I also had about $100 built up in points. Additionally, using my Amazon C.C. I get an additional 5% discount off the ~$180 purchase (after CA. taxes), which puts me at around $171 - SO MY HIWATT ORDER IS FINALLY IN



And just so we all know, even if they later on, put out a stand alone BD, I'll be glad to have this box at this price.

Pink Floyd however can suck my (fill in the blank .....)

Grooves.land is now down to $233.40, free shipping.
But it's n/a right now. This is what their web site says:

Currently sold out but back in stock soon

FNAC in France, which had the cheapest option for shipping to Norway - by a huge margin - has now sold out their online stock for pre-order.

I did the math, and with a 10% coupon Platekompaniet.no turned out about the same as FNAC all things considered. So I cancelled my FNAC order and hope that Platekompaniet will also ship early. I think they’re sold out now.

Yes - if you got 10% off, it will be about the same, with 25% VAT and customs charges on top. Still way cheaper than Amazon UK, JPC.de and CDJapan!

Only a week away now! I'm getting excited 8'). I ordered from CDJapan particularly to get the SHMCDs. Perhaps I'll get a shipping notice soon . To me this is far and away the release of the year. So far 8').

Already giving it an 8, even though it's not out yet?

A friend had his box delivered and I got to listen to the Atmos mix. As expected, SW did a great job creating a wide-open, detailed soundstage. While I'm loving this mix the album does seem to lose a bit of its in-your-face power by pulling it apart.

Would you say that it also loses some of its impact in the stereo mix too (if you listened to it)?

No, not at all.
Also loving the bonus tracks in Atmos!

I feel that way about stereo vs surround in general. It's not always the case but usually it feels that way to me. It's not just a function of volume. The best way that I can describe it is, that by splitting everything up and spreading it out the whole experience with regards to power is watered down. Regardless, I still love and prefer surround mixes in most cases.

Oh for gods' sake, is my age showing? I find it easier to type 8') or 8'0 or especially 8% like in the old days <as he says "sonny" with a feeble voice> than to put in a gif. It's all though!

I think of stereo as the "concentrated" sound. If you become used to, say, a concentrated alcohol content beer, the "pulled apart" beer of surround does seem weaker. To keep up the metaphor, you'll just have to drink more .

I was actually trying to do a smiley like 8 -) (without the space) and it automatically turned into

I heard I missed some CRAZY pricing on Rarewaves last week (sub-$100 -maybe an error?)…but got a re-stock notice today…I said I’d bite under $200…and so I did…under $185 with shipping
