New Dolby Atmos BluRay discs from Rhino

[ForagingRhino]

And does The Best Of The Doors have an identical tracklist to the previous quad SACD/BD-A release(s)?

No. It's the old double disc comp that goes with that cover image.

Is the 5.1 mix of Rumours the previously-released 5.1 mix? Because there's an issue on at least on the DVD-A of "Go Your Own Way" where the center channel is slightly out of sync with the rest of the mix, creating this double-tracked vocal sorta effect that I don't think was intended.

It is the same 5.1 mix.....

Will they be on Rhino's UK Dig! website? https://shop.thisisdig.com/gb/dig/music/shop-by-format/dvd-blu-ray/?pdshow=true

Probably not. Dunno.
It's their store to stock as they see fit.

I'm assuming the 5.1 and 2.0 mixes are DTS-HD? @ForagingRhino

Yes!

 

[ForagingRhino]

So “Silver Springs” Atmos mix will be exclusive or new for this BD-A release since I don’t recall it being available (yet) on streaming?

Yes. A late addition.

I could have bet the mortgage that you would bring this up, DE. That track on the 5.1 is quite ear grating.

Who mixed the Atmos tracks?

Sounds like a mixing decision which the band approved.

This is unbelievably fantastic news.

Chris James did Rumours
Bruce Botnick did Doors.

Can you let someone on the team know about this? Sometimes it's hard to gather the intent of an engineer in making their mixes, but every other song on the album follows the same mix map when it comes to vocals (a little bit in all three front channels). It's only in that song where the center channel seems to be out of sync with the rest of the mix. (This also includes other elements in the center channel also shared with the front channels; it's not the vocals that are out of sync in the center channel, per se, but the entire channel itself.)

At the very least, they can give it a look, even if they ultimately decide not to edit it.

Indeed. According to Ken Caillat, the band were closely involved back when he did the 5.1 mix.

I was already set up for 5.1 at the time and I wanted our first big project to be the Rumours album. I called Warner and they were completely on board with the idea. The band came over and sat in as we were working on it.

I had the chance to meet Ken in person a few weeks ago, and he kindly signed my Rumours DVD-A

So perhaps Go Your Own Way in 5.1 is meant to sound the way it does…a bit thin and phasey. The stereo version, if I recall correctly, was a bit like that too.

At the very least, I will say there was an accident made in creating the mix of the song, because of what I noted. However, a lot of mistakes in creating music turn out to be happy accidents, ones made that aren't intended, but the artist likes it, so it stays that "wrong" (in a descriptive sense, not a pejorative sense) way in the end. So, that mistake I noted may be what the band ultimately wanted. But then again, maybe not. Worth asking about.

Wow.

So roughly 70 minutes of The Doors remixed/remastered in Dolby ATMOS?

I hope all these sell well and we see all the Fleetwood Mac Atmos streaming releases on disc in TrueHD. Not to mention many of the other Warner streaming releases that could be released on BD!!!

 

[alansanchez86]

Nothing but quality here! Keep 'em coming!

 

[Mcallister]

The Doors Atmos mixes are fantastic on Apple Music. Please release all albums on Blu-Ray, yes another Doors set, but I’d buy it.

Is this the first time Warner Music Group has released anything using the High Fidelity Pure Audio marketing term/branding on the case?
