Suede "Suede" (SDE Blu-Ray #11 with Steven Wilson stereo, 5.1 & Dolby Atmos mixes!)

[himey]

Are you talking about the Atmos mix of Autofiction? I don't think he did that one, only the debut which doesn't come out on disc or streaming until July.

Thanks. I am new to this band, and didn't distinguish between the two.

The SDE collection has always been something to admire. I have had some opposition to a couple of titles when they were presented, so I decided to pass. My mistake. I passed on Orbital Optical Delusions, Shakespeare Sisters. "Not my type of music", So I did pass. Then I spent some quality time listening to these albums on Spotify. I actually liked them. Luckily SDE had a few Shakespeare Sisters available due to customer cancellations, but Orbital was gone. I paid close to $90 to get a copy. My bad. but what an incredible album. The moral of the story, Just buy it. SDE surround discs are collectable and increase in value once they are sold out. 11 out of 11 and still smiling

My gift to the QQ members... Check out Suede

Orbital Optical Delusions

That might be my favorite underrated Atmos mix.

I was hoping it was finally going to be ABC's "Lexicon Of Love". Suede is a group the reviewers always seemed to love, but I just find their sound to be dreary and unintersting. I do like a lot of other Brit-Pop bands though.

I've ordered it; not the biggest of Suede fans (I was a bit older when they hit the big time), but what I have learnt from this surround obsession is that surround opens up the music, and I have found albums/bands I didn't like before, I like in surround; I don't become a raving fan of the music, but I appreciate and enjoy it much more than in plain old stereo.

Suede was supposed to be the next big thing from the UK, not Oasis. But with the uber-flamboyant frontman (turns out it was just an act), they never had a chance in the US. Nowadays they would be, except that they wrote actual songs and not the drivel that makes up the airwaves now. I didn't hear them until probably around 96. I was hooked when I heard Animal Nitrate the first time. Some of the other songs I liked, but a lot of it was in the "I'm not quite sure what to think of these guys" territory until I listened to it some more. The album has a good cohesion, front to back. Guitar work is excellent and original by Bernard Butler (I put some of my thoughts in a different post, but I think it was deleted because I did 3 posts in a row and now there's just the SDE announcement post). If you dig some of the Bowie glam years and some of the 90s Britpop, I think these guys land somewhere in between. They never had a record nearly as good, though, and I think Butler left after the 2nd record.

Who the hell is suede???

My guess is a Slade tribute band from Japan but they struggled to pronounce it correctly! ;-)

 

[GOS]

Just noticed they have a song called Animal Lover...

 

[James_in_VA]

First wave of Britpop band - if it's your thing I think you'll dig.

OK, so they are to Britpop what Diamond Head is to NWOBHM?

That was their nod to W.A.S.P.! Don't you know anything, Gene? ;-)

Well, yet another band I’ve never heard of but I really dig this album.

Instant buy thanks to the SW mix as well. Don’t even have to worry about the quality of it beforehand.

Keep ‘em coming.

I'm in it for the Ricky Gervais connection.

Animal Nitrate does have a sort of Brent David vibe...

The inclusion of an instrumental mix would have made this an easier decision for me.

And..what is your decision?

About the album cover.....so...is that 2 guys, 2 girls.....a guy and a girl....what? Seriously. I'm curious.

While I won't be ordering this title (and yes, I've skipped a couple other already), because it isn't my bag, I think it is fantastic to see another modern release like this! I'm very excited for the titles yet to come

And..what is your decision?

To procrastinate and not make a final decision until the end of the pre-order window.

If I was forced to decide right this minute, it would be a no for a variety of reasons, the biggest being that I’m just not enthused about the music.

Even with discs in this series that I was unsure about, I managed to find something to latch on to. I’m just not finding that with this one.

That's awesome. I am the KING of procrastination. word....
