Paul is here to stay
Listening now in Atmos
First listen as I was not into Paul's music back in the day.
So far, so good.... interesting mix.

Hopefully, Farmer Mike, No Parlez will improve your French!
My copy is now in the states awaiting its final destination ......
Never the biggest fan of this period of music, I would say that Paul Young had earned his spurs by this album (Toast anyone?) and unlike so many is still around and evolving. The album itself has that Eighties sound horrible drum sound, strange synths. This though is quite refreshing after years of ignoring it. The mix is fully surround plenty in the rears. David Kosten has done a very nice job with the mix. This will be a keeper for sure.
Lovely mix and great use of all the speakers. "Iron Out The Rough Spots" is a terrific demo for an ATMOS system.

I'm on my third run through plus the instrumental version. Always a good sign.
This release is sublime in every way.
The music hasn't aged and you can tell how much care and attention was given to every note and quaver.
You did a good job here Paul.
And David Kosten has smashed the Atmos mix. I've not listened to the 5.1 mix but I think that will have the same exceptional quality.
I had no preconceived ideas as to what this would sound like or how the album had matured.
I am very impressed with this release

Got another email from Royal Mail and my disc was delivered today (Friday). Sadly however I'm 70 miles away at my sisters...I received confirmation from SDE a few minutes ago that my disc is expected to be delivered by Royal Mail on Friday
I had this back in the days, and I liked it a lot, so I ordered it last night based on your review.
If it's a weak mix, I'll bill you for it, these SDE releases are pricey.

Ooh no pressure then ..I had this back in the days, and I liked it a lot, so I ordered it last night based on your review.

So, accepting that we cannot all like the same music, if you do like this album, you are going to love this mix. As I mentioned in my earlier post I had the privilege of hearing it in Atmos at Dolby HQ last week. I have 5.1 at home and my first listen to that mix still brought a huge grin to the openness now achieved. For the first time I slightly envy those of my fellow QQ members who will have this Blu-ray AND Atmos. Absolutely superb album, disc and astonishing value for money given the very limited numbers and the level of work that David Kosten put into this demo quality mix. Brilliant!
P.S. I discovered only this week that David Kosten worked with Steven Wilson on The Future Bites and The Harmony Codex. Good company to be in - could this be the mix engineer equivalent of a supergroup? 
Also I found this interesting article on his move to Atmos production. https://www.hhb.co.uk/grammy-nomina...n-on-upgrading-to-and-working-in-dolby-atmos/

Wonder why this is not on Apple, most of the SDE Atmos discs are?
Could be that the license granted to Demon from Sony was only for physical? Or maybe they're waiting to release it via streaming only after the Blu-Ray sells out?
SDE has a fantastic review of the album by well-respected music journalist Alexis Petridis. If you are considering buying but haven't yet, it's worth checking his words.
That's because people don't often have shipping numbers.
Agree. One of the best researched and illuminating album reviews that i have read ( and can relate to).
I'm scared to read another of his reviews - he could sell me anything!
