I would love to do some ATmos mixes but Dolby do not make it easy for us.
Actually…REM has regained control of their masters and has been reissuing these through Craft Recordings…maybe they are trying to be “crafty” by changing the packaging each time?!This will be my third of the 25th anniversary editions. I've never liked Monster. Surround won't help it for me and from what read on the site, the 25th anniversary edition is a mess anyway,
I wish Warner would follow the Tull and Marillion model and stick to a presentation format. Including Monster this is the 4th of 4 with completely (almost random) dimensions.
Maybe only from distributors? Got the vinyl today as well.What the actual fuck? I thought it was delayed.
Don't do it!
If it's anything like the Monster Blu-Ray reissue it will be a new mastering with significantly altered mix
Okay, silly question(s) from someone who is trying to talk himself into/out of buying this. Maybe some kind folks here who are getting this can help me decide. Since R.E.M. is one of the few artists who have an almost "here, take my money" devotion from me, I already have all the audio from this set.
How I'm thinking it through...
Luckily, this is an inexpensive set (unless *cough* you have all the audio content). Nevertheless....
- I have the DVD-A for this and I know it's the same 5.1 mix. I can't analyze that format so I can't guess how its bit depth, etc. might match up with the original, which to my ears is one of the better R.E.M. Scheiner mixes.
- Going by memory, the new hi-res remasters are fairly compressed, even if not as intensely as the CDs. The original disc is one of those that sounds very good so a newly varnished mix doesn't matter too much to me.
- The EPK, music videos, and book interest me but would never drive a purchase. The background videos? I mean, I suppose if I have a middle of the night existential crisis that staring at them might hypnotically lull/numb me back into sleep but, uh, yeah... don't need them.
- The "Vote your dollar" theory. I've read some comments this is the last anniversary set they're contracted to do (but I have no clue if that's accurate). I'm in for Up even if it's another pro forma release like this one. It and Accelerate (which, in dire need of a new and quieter master, would be more than a decade away) are the only remaining albums I have strong affinity for. I'm doubtful there'll be much market for them.
Thanks in advance.
