You just beat me! Includes a bluray with new (?) surround and Atmos mixes. But as before mixes done by Richard Chycki.

yep:
A fourth bonus disc is a Blu-ray Audio disc with the core album newly mixed from the original multi-tracks in Dolby Atmos (a Rush catalog first!), Dolby TrueHD 5.1, and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound as done by noted producer/engineer Richard Chycki, alongside the previously available PCM Stereo mix. Also included on the Blu-ray are four bonus videos: a brand-new video for YYZ plus three remastered vintage promo videos for Tom Sawyer, Limelight, and Vital Signs

I'll probably get this because I'm such a Rush fan. Thank goodness it's a fresh new 5.1 mix (I wasn't much of a fan of the last one) as well as Atmos. I'm not really getting my hopes up on the mixes though. Chycki is still... Chycki until otherwise noted.

Hmpf

Surround formats locked in $360 box of s*#t.

The Rush website says this is a "Rush Backstage Super Deluxe Exclusive" so I am not sure if this blu-ray will be released anywhere else. The total shipped to California would be $400+ USD.

Edit: The priced dropped from when I viewed it in the early AM to when I checked it later in the morning. It dropped from $400+ down to $300+ shipped.

Following...
Not a big fan of Richard's mixes, though low expectations here.
How many Moving Pictures surround mixes are out there? I know of the DVD version, the atmos one (on streaming services), and this new one?

I just looked because I assumed it would be everywhere and shipped to me was $308. Still absolutely insane. Obviously they're trying to mark up their most popular album, but this is no better than the AFTK's box set and I got that for around $150 I think. Two extra vinyl records, a crap model car and some drumsticks shouldn't add an extra $150 to the final number...

The Atmos mix of Moving Pictures is already available on iTunes (maybe Tidal, as well?). I listened to it last week. I like it. It has some entertaining placements of audio. May be too "gimmicky" for some...

Buried at the end of the press release (Moving Pictures 40th Anniversary Release | Rush.com) is this:

"Finally, the sixth configuration, the Dolby Atmos Digital Edition, is the digital equivalent of Richard Chycki’s masterful Atmos mix of all seven tracks from the original album."

However, I can't find any reference to how to purchase/download it...

From the link above....

"There will also be a Deluxe Digital Edition, features the original album and all 19 bonus live performances from Toronto, and is the digital equivalent to the three-CD Deluxe Edition, and a Dolby Atmos Digital Edition, is the digital equivalent of Richard Chycki’s masterful Atmos mix of all seven tracks from the original album."

Doesn't this imply there will be a standalone for the BRD?

 

[marpow]

Well, all I can say this is the first surround release of 2022 that has peaked my interest. I'll let you all get to the nuts and bolts of the thing.

If the two Atmos mixes that have been streaming are indicative of the new album mix, no thanks...

 

[RustyStatic]

I was a little shocked by the price too initially, but then I saw that there's an exclusive YYZ luggage tag.

 

[DuncanS]

Some kind of trouble on the sensory screen
Camera curves over caved-in cop cars
Bleacher-creatures, would-be desperadoes
Clutch at plausible deniability
Don't touch that dial
We're in denial
Until the showcase trial on TV

Here we go...vertigo
Video...vertigo
Test for echo (in the rears only!)

Doesn't this imply there will be a standalone for the BRD?

No. These days, "digital" releases refer to downloads and streaming.

 

[LuvMyQuad]

No. These days, "digital" releases refer to downloads and streaming.

So they will be offering an Atmos download?

Two? I only know of one... on Apple. There is another?

I only heard the Apple stream downmixed to 5.1 so far, and like you, I was underwhelmed. Did you get to hear the true Atmos rendition?

 

[JediJoker]

So they will be offering an Atmos download?

Only insofar as any Atmos album can be "downloaded" from Apple Music, Tidal, or Amazon Music.

TS and Limelight. Yes, 7.2.4.
