Is your source the same mate whose DVD didn't have the 5.1 mix?According to my sources, The Red Planet was not up-mixed by Simon Heyworth and was done by Erik Jordan and assisted by Toby Wood.
You made one reply saying there wasn't a 5.1 for the album and then you post one saying the 5.1 mix isn't any good?
"Research"? Did you really look that hard?
We already have a whole thread on it here. Short recap: RW & staff (an artist without major label support) came up with a plan for an album with plans for true, discreet 5.1 mix. Probably self funded at the start. Covid happened. Plans got screwed up, lockdowns made collaboration difficult. Original production schedules were messed up. Money was burning, the proper 5.1 was nixed. Changes were not clearly communicated. Support staff missed clarifying that the mix wasn't going to happen on their websites and press releases.
But by all accounts all forum members who asked for cancelations received them.
...and when the DVDs started arriving to those who didn't cancel, it turned out that was a multi channel upmix on the disc.
Wayne (@lowwhistler ) let us know that the upmix was done by Simon Heyworth in an attempt to make up for the pandemic induced mess ups to the original plan and content.
Messy and poorly executed plan - yes but your claim of "false advertising" - come on. RW had no reason to try and outright try a deceive anyone. Give the 73 year old guy a break - plenty of things got screwed up in pandemic.
