My S&BB arrived today and Discipline is on the way. Short on time at the moment so I popped the dvd in to watch the video clips...so far so good. I really like S&BB so I want to give the new mixes my full attention when I play them.
 
You lucky guys..my "yamazon" order has been delayed.. I guess that they were expecting to sell less copies...that's weird cause they have never fallen short before-but OTOH, it's great news for the Frippster and company!
Here's the email :(

I'm hoping my copy of Discipline comes in today! S&BB came in on Monday. Haven't had time to listen to it yet, but I'm hoping to listen later this evening!
 
My Discipline came this afternoon - great service from Burning Shed as usual. I'll spin it tomorrow if I have time, and I'm curious to see/hear if it changes my opinion of the album (this was never a period of KC I was fond of).
 
Got them both now! This weekend I am alone in the flat, so the volume knob might wander to places not visited for several months.

:)
 
Oh Oh. Just received Discipline. S&BB was mailed a week before it from BS. I haven't seen S&BB. No insurance.....sucks. "Discipline" makes me glad that I have 2 subwoofers.

My notices were the same but S&BB showed up 4 days after Discipline. Give it a couple days.
 
I used play.com (free shipping in Europe)

Strangely enough, the first thing I noticed on Starless and Bible Black: The additional track "Easy Money" (5.1 DTS only) plays in Dolby Digital unless you switch to the other audio track which is the DTS. I guess Neil wanted to be DVD compliant and such so have a default Dolby track as well.
 
Just received these 2 reeases 5 minutes after the ambulance dropped me off at HOME(now , THAT is timing!!!!)...excellent therapy for back surgery!!!
Listening to "Discipline"...
IT
IS
A
MA
ZIIIIIINNNNGGGG

GREAT JOB EVERYBODY....!!!!
an exemplary 5.1 mix!!!
:smokin
 
Easy now, careful with that back... :)

My SABB arrived today too, strangely several days after Discipline shipped simultaneously :mad:@: Anyway, it's yet again a great remaster, congrats to everyone involved!
 
Discipline arrived today exactly 1 week after SABB from Burning Shed. Currently getting reacquainted with the album. Great mix (possibly the best so far), although being a newer recording it doesn't seem such a dramatic improvement as the magic achieved on the early albums. I'll reserve judgement and listen to it a few more times before further comment.

Weird.

There is a "hidden" AC3 stream there, but it should not be accessible as there is a Pre-Command forcing DTS....
Hmmm
