Not bothering as I have the 5.1 mix from SACD - and as someone above said "it's not great".

Glad this classic album is getting a standalone Atmos blu ray. Good job Warner (Parlophone). Presume it will be available at all retailers... Hopefully the mix lives up to it?
"The Atmos mix was done by Emre Ramazanoglu with original producer Ken Scott at RAK Studios, London."
He did the Brian Eno Atmos mixes I think...

From the Bowie Facebook page:
Of this new Dolby Atmos mix the albumās co-producer, Ken Scott says āYouāre in there with the act, with David. He was so theatrical I think being able to put him into an immersive place makes this a really good choice for an Atmos mix. My whole philosophy with this has been to make it more like a live experience. And Iāve even got him moving about the stage a little towards the end, the way he would have in real life. Hopefully, it just feels as if youāre in the theatre with this amazing show going on.ā

Pre-ordered the standalone blu ray from SDE! Way to go, SDE!
Glad I waited on the box. Could probably get it second-hand for a better price later.

It worries me looking at the SDE shop page that tracks 8, 9, & 10 are written smaller than the rest of the tracks, could it be that these tracks are not Atmos? what is the significance of this?
Although I am not a huge Bowie fan I have ordered this one.

Did he say anything about the earlier 5.1 mix? Normally having the original producer involved in surround sound mixes is a good sign, but I've heard rather middling things about that earlier Ziggy 5.1 mix Ken Scott was involved in, and I don't know if I should expect the Atmos to be any better.
Nice one... As it's a good price I've pre-ordered it
As stated over at SDE: -

I feel sorry for people who have spent all that money on the box, and it doesn't even include the new atmos and stereo mixes!
My thoughts exactly as I picked up (and still have) the original 5.1 SACD when it was first released and was rather disappointed with the mix at that time. I haven't listened to it much since or certainly lately, but I recall that it was not very discrete and overall very flat sounding.
I'd like to get some confirmation that this is indeed a new mix before I might buy it again.
