Duran Duran "Danse Macabre" (Blu-Ray with Bob Cleamountain Dolby Atmos mix - SDE #13)

[Simon A]

Cool stuff. Sounds nice, looking forward to hearing the Specials 'Ghost Town' cover... Nice to able to be able to preview the mix but you just knew it would be good from Bob...

Interesting that a Halloween themed SDE exclusive turned out to be #13 in the series!

It'll be interesting for sure but never as perfect as this version by Steven Toast.

Pre-ordered!

Duran Duran... I think I've heard of them...

Only joking. What great news to wake up to! With Warren *and* Andy!

Is it just me or does this last part make no sense? "

In collaboration with BMG, SDE presents the physical release of the Dolby Atmos Mix of Duran Duran's new studio album acclaimed 1997 album Danse Macabre."

Right. Edit fail.

This one's a pass. By the looks of it, they won't have a problem selling my copy.

 

[Blackwood]

A pass for me, too. (My second SDE Surround Series pass.) I think there might be other Duran Duran albums I would go for, but after hearing the single and reading about this album, it doesn’t grab me.

Still, it’s another great band for SDE to be connected with.

Saw them live last week. With Chic and Bastille.
Awesome show.

I'm more excited about this than The Harmony Codex...

 

[J. PUPSTER]

In the 80's when their big videos were on MTV, I'd either turn the volume off or switch channels, so no, not too pleased with this. But, haven't heard it yet, so I'll give it a chance.

Can we get some 70's Classic Rock please?

Yep... NO

Looking forward to this one! It's been a while but Nick Rhodes said they were interested in updating the back catalog in surround:

Duran Duran catalog possibly coming in 360 Reality Audio

Here's a recent video from Nick Rhodes where he discusses mixing the new album in 360RA: He says they'd like to go back and do the entire catalog and even spoke of going back to the multitrack tapes for the early albums. I'd love to see more Duran in surround, especially those early ones. The...

Really glad this is being released in Dolby Atmos instead of 360RA since very few could properly experience Future Past in surround like Nick could in the studio.

Ordered this with the Dolby Atmos mix of Dark Side of the Moon.

Ok, having heard the latest SW track (Economy of Scale), and now also the title track here, my gut reaction is this is the stronger, more musically interesting, and satisfying track.
Can't wait to hear Bob Clearmountain's Atmos mix!

PRE~ORDERED. Always been a Duran Duran fanboy! Now give us some of their classic albums in SURROUND, por favor!

Well, someone here sounds hungry like the wolf.

Well, someone here sounds hungry like the wolf.

I saw the lads in the nineties at Madison Square Garden and poor Simon who was out of shape at the time attempted to do one of those smooth moves and ended up tumbling on his arse!

But it WAS a GREAT SHOW!

 

[srbjab]

I think this would be a fun listen but only if the Atmos mix is radically wild.

 

[srbjab]

Finally had a chance to listen to Danse Macabre in Atmos on Apple Music and was shocked at how good the Clearmountain mix was, and the music was surprisingly good as well. Having had zero connection with Duran Duran over the years except for very dusty memories of Hungry Like The Wolf I was expecting to dislike this track - but the opposite occurred. I also listened to their last album, Future Past, and found it surprisingly engaging even in stereo. So, much to my wallet's displeasure, I went ahead and preordered from SDE.

Can we get some 70's Classic Rock please?

Hasn't that already been like 90% of the surround releases over the past several years?

I like my classic 70s stuff too, but personally I'm glad to see some stuff that isn't 50+ years old.

RIO and DURAN DURAN would be awesome!
