The SDE Surround Sound Series (Updated list of titles with links in post #1)

[edisonbaggins]

I don't care for "I Don't Care".
It's been stuck in my head for two days.
And that's annoying me, not pleasing me.

3rd pass in a row...

I like this kind of Pop, I remember that the single and others were played quite a bit in Radio 3 Pop in España when I was living in Vallekas Villa back then and that was my umbilical cord to the musikal world... a quite good UmbiLIKEal....

I am READY for the COCTEAU TWINS!!!!

Me for David Sylvian + Talk talk

 

[jarrod2750]

I’ve bought all three so far and I even went back and forth on the Gilbert Sullivan release. This one might be pass, especially since one of ac units just died! I guess I should be thankful it worked for 20 years

OMG. Having a working AC this week trumps any music release that is coming out...well, except perhaps for Who's Next.

I'm passing on this one also. It's not my kind of music.

Collect the series​

While the previous blu-rays have old sold out, as an incentive to encourage you to build your collection, we're creating specially-designed numbered slipcases for each of them. Gilbert O'Sullivan's Driven is shipping with #3, Shakespears Sister will have #4 and we will go back and create slipcases for both Tears For Fears (#1) and xPropaganda (#2). You will be able to add the early ones to your SDE shopping cart for FREE with future purchases (more on this soon). As a music obsessive, I know how important things looking good on the shelf can be, so these slipcases will create consistency for a cool-looking 'shelfie'!

Really liked this album back in the day.

I'm in!

 

[leahypc]

Listened to some of it on Spotify, found it pretty likeable on first listen. Problem is, it doesn't make it on my priority list for surround spending - too many things above it.

From that same period, I'd really like to hear the surround treatment from The Sundays or Mazzy Star. Anything from them would be an instant purchase for me...

Those would be great. I’m all in on more 90s stuff. Lot of great albums mixes from that era that would be nice in surround for sure.

Never heard of them. Snoozer….

They were pretty big back in the day…more importantly…Siobhan Fahey was one of the original 3 founders of Bananarama…and I have been hormonally theirs since I first heard them as a randy young lad

 

[hi-res_edition]

Well, as high on the charts as they apparently went, I have never heard of Shakespears Sister’s. It really is not my thing, and given the high cost of shipping to the USA, basically greater than 50% of the item price, it doesn't make sense. In the past I have ordered a second copy for another surround sound enthusiast to reduce shipping costs, but like me, they really are not interested in this particular release.

 

[privateuniverse]

I only vaguely remembered the one song that was a hit here in the States. But I checked out a couple of tunes on YouTube and thought it had the potential for a decent surround mix. So I took the plunge as I want to support the series.

Playing alone again....naturally...oops freudian slip...

Gilbert's Driven arrived today, playing it now.

For a 75 year old, he's still got it.

Great song writing.
Great music.
Great production.

And a nice surprise is the Great mix!!

And his voice is holding up too...

Very pleased with this No 3, SDE release.
Slip case is a nice touch.

SO gratifying to hear, Mike. Mine is enroute from SDE .....

An interview with Gilbert celebrating his 50 years in SHOWBIZ .......

Same here... I've just finished backing-up the disc

I'll probably create separate 5.1 Dolby TrueHD, Atmos and stereo muxes. I've also just noticed that the 7.1 Atmos stream contains a Dolby Digital EX core...

Oh man, I'd love either one of those! Just listened to the Atmos mix of Fade Into You again last night and it's a damn near perfect mix on my system.

And for those who don't know Mazzy Star:

Is there anyone here at QQ that knows Mr. Sinclair and can invite him to join our group?

Separately, it would be nice if SDE established a U.S. shop to serve the North American market and reduce postage costs for consumers.
