Two last minute additions to today's busy release schedule: SACD Steve Reich: Music for 18 Musicians, recorded last year in Abbey Road Studios by Colin Currie Group & Synergy Vocals. Apart from the official shop (see post #1) it also can be pre-ordered from jpc.de at a discounted price. Link for Atmos mix below.

Secondly, Mr. Big's eponymous debut is now also available as 5.1 (FLAC) and/or Atmos (mkv+mp4) download via IAA.

Mr. Big "Mr. Big" - 5.1 & Dolby Atmos mixes now available as hi-res downloads!

Same production team as Lean Into It, mixed by Chris Bell and mastered by Michael Romanowski. The 5.1 mix (same as what's on the SACD) is again a tweaked downmix of the Atmos, but from the original PCM source rather than a DSD conversion. The download also includes two additional songs, “Next...

Quite a few news announced today – Steven Wilsonʼs solo album The Harmony Codex will arrive at the end of September:

Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex (2023)

It looks like the new album the Wilson mentioned in his New Year's post will be called The Harmony Codex. The following is from a list in Limited Edition of One of his 10 favorite album from his own catalog. It's also the title of a short story at the end of the book.

Same month sees also a release date for Baby James Harvest by Barclay James Harvest, mixed by Stephen W Tayler:

And June offers a Gary Moore box set The Sanctuary Years 1999-2004 incl. 5.1 mix of Back To The Blues (letʼs hope itʼs better effort than the one on the Silverline DVD-A from 2003):

New Robert Rich album is now available as a FLAC download from Surroundmusic.One – and actually, I forgot to mention thereʼs a new Kid Arrow release too from the very site since last weekend. Also, UKʼs live recording Curtain Call is due in less than month.

UK - Curtain Call 10th Anniversary DVD/Blu-Ray

Saw this at importCD. I don't know much about the band UK, but I know folks here like them. No clue if it has multi-channel.

Fantastic finish this week! First, Lori Liebermanʼs album from 2016 (mix by Bob Clearmountain) is already available as a 5.1 FLAC download from IAA. Then, some six weeks from now, a concert video by Frost* (mix by Rob Reed) arrives, closely followed by four individual Quadio releases by four different artists. Join the guessing game in the following thread:

4 New Quadio releases coming in June!

Hi everybody. 4 new Quadios scheduled for June 23, 2023. Individual releases in those super jewel cases to set them apart from Compact Discs. Will be available from the rhino web store. Probably 30 bucks each.

Two titles on BD-A were announced recently, but first an evidence that we can expect three King Crimson Atmos mixes by SW on physical media pretty soon:

King Crimson in Atmos

First time starting a thread here and I hope I put it in the right spot, or isn’t a repeat of another thread... but did anyone else see this from the King Crimson guestbook site: Sailors Tale boxset Hello Are there any plans to reissue this boxset for those (me!) who missed it first time round...

ABC's The Lexicon Of Love is now finally scheduled for an August release, however the blu-ray comes as a part of a big vinyl set.

Serge Gainsbourg's 1976 album L'homme à tête de chou hits the shelves in June as a 2CD+BD-A digipak and the Atmos mix can be previewed online both on Apple and Tidal.

Serge Gainsbourg's 1976 album L'homme à tête de chou

LOL at the instrumental mixes because Gainsbourg’s lyrics (especially on this album) are absolutely incredible!

Hope the Atmos mix is good, because this a Top Ten album of la chanson française.

EDIT: released 23rd of June, preorder on Amazon France

The Camel news fiasco makes me declare this the shittiest of surround music years, sorry with those of you which might disagree but I am really really blue over this debacle.

 

[haikubass]

Itʼs doubly joyful to announce a new title, if itʼs a consecutive album in spatial format. Feathers & Bones by Rodriguez Jr. is out on June 14th and so far is only available from Grobi.tv, but I guess we can expect it wherever his previous BD-A Blisss was.
Streaming Atmos preview already on Apple or Tidal.

Great news Haiky, finally a physical option.
Unfortunately, Grobi.tv don't deliver to the UK

So I'm searching all the other outlets to see if they have it listed.
Not had any luck so far...

It looks like he's on a new label, too—so I'm not sure if we can expect the same rollout we saw with Bliss... let's update it here if/when we see it somewhere other than Grobi.tv!

So strange... the album came out on Friday and there's mention of the blu ray with Atmos mix in a number of places, including his website, and there are no links to purchase it anywhere. Just links to the vinyl.

I replied to his album release announcement on Twitter asking where it could be purchased; will respond if I get anything in reply..
