Steven Wilson XTC’s Skylarking to be released in Dolby Atmos (Blu-Ray out September 27!)

[H.A.L.]

Yep, the Shed let me know yesterday it was coming!

Ugh…my Amazon preorder was impacted by “supply chain issues”. No estimated delivery date at the moment. Really looking forward to this Atmos mix…

Listening to it now.

It's mind-blowingly good.

Just delivered by Amazon UK

Sorry any other Atmos mixers, just give all Atmos mixing to Steve.

I was just about to check in on that, as I got the same notice from Amazon

Mine's arrived today. Will give it a spin tonight.

FYI, I got the same notice… And then when I kept hearing that others were already getting their discs, I went back into Amazon, canceled the pre-order, and re-ordered. I got a shipping notice literally the next day.

This isn’t the first time I’ve had to do something like that, seems like pre-orders should get priority, but I know things get borked sometimes.

Just received mine from thesdeshop today. It's a dual-gatefold digipak. What's odd (to me) is that this is the first item I've gotten from them that wasn't factory polywrapped; it's just in a resealable plastic bag... it appears to be complete though, just no hype sticker of any kind (if there ever was one).

Just got mine today from squeezebox, my local brick and mortar store

I eventually did the same and yep...stuff happens.

XTC's Skylarking with Dave Gregory and Steven Wilson​

*I haven't had a chance to hear this one yet myself, but for any interested parties...

 

[MTB Vince]

My copy sourced from SDE arrived in the mailbox yesterday. Not too impressed with the cardstock sleeve design that springs open and refuses to close flat once removed from the resealable plastic bag... Haven't had an opportunity to listen to it yet. Will report back.

Just opened up my copy, packaging leaves a little bit to be desired, I definitely prefer the slipcase design of the prior 5.1 version.

Don’t have Atmos but I’m really enjoying the surround instrumental version, so great to hear all the tasty guitar bits in Ballet for a Rainy Day and Earn Enough For Us! The opening to Big Day without Colin’s vocal is so different! So interesting. I hope that going forward with other remix projects Steven will mix the album instrumentally in surround, it’s definitely been worth shelling out for Skylarking again!
