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

[fizzywiggs41]

I'm almost certain this will get a separate release....possibly under 3 years?


BTW ...

I wonder which Who member , won that pissing contest ?

“Relay” in 5.1

 

[LennonCobain]

The Blu-ray comes in 2 different label color variants???

Or you can just enjoy it as part of your Apple Music subscription for no additional cost.

Or not . I'd much prefer the real LOSSLESS Atmos version. Don't get me started on the difference between that & the Apple music LOSSY fake Atmos ...well..."Substitute".

Yes it's better than nothing....but with a halfway decent HT system, anyone who can't tell the Atmos difference between the Apple version and a Blu-ray version needs to have their hearing checked.

It’s pretty difficult to tell the difference on some titles, unless you start soloing specific channels (the heights in particular). Sorry you’re not a fan.

Some of us have soloed the height channels on selected mixes. Why? In the words of Bill Clinton, "...because I could."

Mine will not arrive from Amazon until Sep 20 - 22. Perhaps this is punishment for non-prime members. Why? Because they can.

There are some spine-tingling moments on the bonus tracks too - Roger and Pete's vocals at the end of "Pure and Easy" ('there once was a note...listen") alternate between the rear speakers

Doubtful. Just lighting/phone camera color temperature differential.

The bonus tracks are dope.

They all lost. Water from film canisters instead.

Just received this , can't wait to give it a spin later today

For us old farts, does the term"are dope" mean the same as "phat" "sick" "awesome" "far out" etc? If so, request permission to start using the term.

Mine showed up yesterday as well. Won’t be able to listen until early next month as I’m on the road! Killing me!

Mine arrived earlier than expected, expertly packed in interlocking foam panels and tight in the cardboard box. Weighs about 10 pounds but feels like 40.

So far I really like what I hear. Drums sound nice and punchy, and that is important on this album. Nothing gimmicky in the mix but nicely spread out into the room. Bargain sticks out like a sore thumb due to it being an upmix, but not much you can do about that. I had high hopes for the climax of Won’t Get Fooled Again, and it didn’t disappoint. Nice movement in the keyboards, thunderous drums and Roger’s scream raining down from the sky all around.

Maybe it’s due to overfamiliarity with the main album, but I’m actually digging the bonus tracks even more. The Seeker sounds great. Can’t wait to get to Join Together, Let’s See Action and Relay.

The bonus tracks are dope.

They are, indeed, dope.

Is the Atmos mix on Apple Music?

yes, the 9 tracks comprising the original album are in Atmos, the bonus tracks are in Stereo

Hoping to get mine today.

What is displayed on the screen while the songs play (both main album and other?)

A slideshow of 15-20 photos from the era.

A slideshow of 15-20 photos from the era.

Speaking of which, it gets really dull and repetitive after seeing them the first couple times. I wish they would at least use different photos for each song, there must be thousands of photos available from that era and I’m sure there’s space on the disc.

Bummer! The bonus tracks are in stereo/5.1/Atmos on the BD.
