I am lying down with fever right now, really not feeling like starting a thread, but here you go:

Got you covered

I tested the Atmos mix for Bruce and he's done excellent work as always. The music is really good too! Alberto Bravin does an awesome job filling David Longdon's shoes. "Beneath The Mast" is epic.

The band released a 'work-in-progress' version of "Last Eleven" last year (link below). The final version on the album is a bit more refined, but you get the idea.

Is it third of January or first of March?

 

[Healthcare29]

Great news, don't think the band has officially released the news as yet!
1st of March I assume being a Euro site announcing

 

[haikubass]

Oblivion, the 1st single, goes streaming tomorrow.

And the single is on Apple in Atmos:

Isn't it only the US that has the date the wrong way around?!!

I looked at this and thought 3rd January, great, that's not long to wait!

This is confusing for the rest of the world for sure! Better to write the name of the month…

It's actually pity that they signed by Inside out music instead of Kscope. Inside out mostly produced basic cd/blu ray's. By Kscope you get more for your money, with extra's, instrumentals or acoustic tracks etc

yep, sounds super. If I had closed my eyes, for the first minute, reminded me of Kansas.

 

[JediJoker]

I wonder if this will receive a Japanese release with an exclusive bonus track, as previous BBT albums have (on Belle Antique)? Since InsideOUT is a Sony label, it would seem only fitting.

 

[Neil Palfreyman]

I had the immmense pleasure of helping Bruce with the surround mix of this album, in particular getting that Big Big Train "feel" right, in Rob's absence (he had a holiday booked, and ran out of time to do the surround mix, if anyone was wondering...)

Bruce's done an absolutely stellar job; getting the sound "right" but also adding a lot of his own flair and style to it.

The album itself is an absolute belter. Absolutely no filler, and reduced me to tears in several places (honestly!) IMHO it's destined to become a BBT classic, right up there with The Underfall Yard and English Electric.

I hope one day, that they (BBT) can do also a complete overview as Pineapple Thief did and do, with remixes and Dolby Atmos

 

[perzon57]

I'm not a BBT fan by any means, have an old 5.1(live disc?), that I didn't like and never play. Listened to the new song up on AM and liked both the music and the Atmos mix, may order this one.

 

[beerking]

I am a fan of BBT.

To finally have them in Atmos is a dream come true.

I did wonder why Rob wasn't credited as the mixing engineer.

But I needn't have worried as Bruce will bring his magical mixing skills to enhance this brilliant group.

 

[M-K]

The last two live BDs were quite good (5.1 as well). This new studio release mixed by Bruce Soord could be even more interesting. I'll preorder soon.

 

[weekendtoy]

Ordered.

My first Big Big Train purchase.
