Getting nervous. After 2 weeks my blu-ray still hasn't arrived from Japan. Not sure how cdjapan handle missing items. Their website just says check with the post office. I know that's a complete waste of time!

Give it another 2 weeks....

I received my blu ray from musicjapan within one week.

All OK - arrived today! And very nice it is too. Hard to believe they started as a metal band.

 

[Robert van Diggele]

Great, yes it is a long way from doom metal to their current sound.

Hi.

When I play my 5.1 DVD (from the deluxe set) I find the rear speakers overtaking the front and center speakers, any advice on this? I have a Sony Receiver.

Thanks!

 

[Robert van Diggele]

When yoi have no problem with playback of other discs, you might want to change the speaker levels in your receiver (or player) when you play this disc. A bit annoying to change and change back, but at least you can listen to the great mix in a comfortable way.

I also found the rear speakers a little louder than most surround mixes. I found it a little distracting but then I lowered the level by 1.5 db. I found the mix very enjoyable after that change. I meant to go back and recheck my levels with a meter afterwards, but I never did, so I am not sure if it was my setup or the mix.

Great 5.1 mix, love the surround activity. As for the album I do prefer the previous two but this one has grown on me quite quickly, really love the final two tracks and how they sound in surround. Very happy to have ordered the CD+Blu-ray from CD Japan. I'd give the album a solid 8/10 and the surround mix 10/10.

No poll for this album as far as I know? It would deserve it, it's the best Jens Bogren surround mix I've ever heard, by far. He's becoming better and better, pretty close to typical SW standards with this release I think.

I love the Blu-ray.. pity its a Japan only release..

Just picked up the cd/DVD version. Love it. Is there a poll for this one?

It doesn't appear that there is a poll for this particular album.

 

[bossfan]

Yeah I could not find it either. Burning Shed just announced a new concert dvd/cd.... Release that looks really interesting.

 

[edisonbaggins]

Does anybody know if 2-disc versions of this album come with a surround DVD?

[edisonbaggins]

There are red and blue versions? Not sure what to get. Not finding much info on what comes in the 2-disc versions.
Thanks for any info!

 

[bossfan]

Yes the red version has a cd and dvd 5.1 version

 

[edisonbaggins]

Yes the red version has a cd and dvd 5.1 version

Any idea what the blue version is?

 

[bossfan]

No sorry. I can say that the red version I have is exceptional. I had not heard the band prior to purchasing the cd/DVD version but am now a big fan and will be looking to buy the new live concert coming out in the near future.

 

[edisonbaggins]

I'm gleaning from discogs that blue could be 2Cd. 2nd disc has acoustic versions...

 

[edisonbaggins]

Ordered 2-disc red version. Picture shows 2nd disc as DVD with 5.1 album...
