Marillion - Album 20 - An Hour Before It's Dark

[GOS]

Import has the CD + DVD & Stand-Alone Blu-Ray

Amazon has the Blu-Ray and I think they have the CD + DVD version too.

Shocker - Amazon's $17.99 price for the blu-ray is $0.35 cheaper than Import

Thanks for the links! I literally typed in the name of the disc and found no match. Only vinyl and some mp3 or whatever...

GOS, oftentimes on Amazon you can hit a vinyl link and then change it by selecting format and going with the media type you like.

The band is busy signing some 12,000 pre-orders in various formats today. And that # is just for those that opted to pay a little extra for the signatures.

Anyone aware of any US vendors showing this title yet?

Bull Moose

Yeah, I did try that on this one. Anyway, ORDERED!

I've never been much of a fan of post Fish Marillion. But I like the four songs the group has made available. Ordered from Bull Moose.

Fudge - I just read a comment from the band’s manager that Mike Hunter is responsible for the 5.1 mix on the new album.

He has slowly been getting better with each release but sadly I don’t think he envisions surround in the same way that we do.

Hunter has done a fabulous job at being the architect of the band’s music for a very long time and his stereo mixes are really good.
But his 5.1 just leaves so little love.
Doesn’t help that no one in the band is particularly interested in 5.1.

Though perhaps not as spectacular as the two SW remixes, I thought Hunter did a better job with Afraid Of Sunlight and With Friends From The Orchestra than Andy Bradfield & Avril Mackintosh did with the Fish-era albums. Excited to hear Stephen Tayler's reworking of Holidays In Eden, maybe he can be their 5.1 guy going forward...

That may be so, but thankfully their catalog has a higher percentage of 5.1 recordings than most I can think of.

I just received an e-mail from Bull Moose saying my pre-order for the blu-ray is being prepared to ship!

I loved the album, if you enjoyed FEAR, you'll love this. It's in the very vein of it (sociopolitical lyrics and suites/passages).

How did you hear it when it’s not out until Friday?

According to AmazonUS, my copy should be arriving TOMORROW by 10 PM.

It was sent out digitally to all preorders.

Wow, just noticed mine too. Only, I'll be out of town head banging to Judas Priest. lmao

 

[splinter7]

My pre-order from the band arrived today in Georgia.

It was dropped off about 15 minutes before I got an email from Townsand’s Marillion Store account telling me it was dispatched

So the great ying\yang of things threw one my way to balance the current score and delivered a day before the official release.

Still waiting for the Tears For Fears BluRay (no movement since the 18th).

 

[Tat]

I should have waited on this one. My pre-sale price was $10 over the after release price.

I thought that Andy Bradfield & Avril Mackintosh did a great 5.1 mix with Fugazi and was by far the most discrete surround mix of the 4 Fish era albums. I would like more mixes like the Fugazi 5.1 JMHO

 

[Progfiend]

Does anyone know if this CD/DVD version includes the 5.1 mix?

Nowhere on the outer packaging or sticker does it say there is a 5.1 mix on the DVD.

The Bradfield/Mackintosh 5.1 of Fugazi is THE TITTIES. Nothing I've heard from Hunter comes close.
I've heard most (if not all) of his Marillion MC output (except AHBID, which arrives soon) and I think With Friends from the Orchestra is is best, so far.
