The SDE Surround Sound Series (Updated list of titles with links in post #1)

[edisonbaggins]

Can't remember if this is the thread where we were suggesting titles for this series, but...

...any 5.1 mix sitting unreleased on Bob Clearmountain's hard drives. This includes some jaw-dropping, A-list titles. It's not difficult to determine the prospective titles, as he's done a surround mix for every album he's mixed, passed a certain date.
Anybody know that date?

Well, he did the Avalon mix in 2003. So presumably everything he's been involved in since? He's definitely been involved in a lot of later day Srpingsteen and Stones albums. And a real favorite of mine, Everyone is Here by The Finn Brothers.

Good enough for me!
That's 20 years of 5.1 mixes...
Btw, many of you will know that this scenario is how we got Mary Fahl's From the Dark Side of the Moon 5.1 mix.
Bob had already done it. Mary decided to put it out.
We'd just need somebody to reach out to artists and see if they'd like the surround mix of their album released. Reach some new fans. Hear their music in a new way, without commissioning an Atmos mix.

I think that deserves a whole new product line: The SDE Bob Clearmountain Series!

sheeeeeeeeet hit me up with a monthly SDE 5.1 BR and I'd subscribe to that.

I wonder if the music industry would be open to the model the film industry uses where they basically triple-dip these days. First the movie theaters, then streaming, then physical media. I'd prefer to buy physical media right at the time of release but would still buy physical or downloadable lossless files six months or a year after it hit the streaming services if that was the only way to get it.

Perhaps some of those older titles would be easier for SDE to release such as Coldplay's Everyday Life or the Tom Petty titles.

With streaming I can listen to it only when I have an internet connection and while the audio is generally adequate for stereo for multichannel it isn't. So why can't they make MORE money by selling me the album?

Not when you pay for streaming, you can listen to stuff offline. But if I am going to continue buying albums, I can't see paying for streaming too. Just too much.

Coldplay would be a release that could really hit big. The even have precedent with the Head Full Of Dreams Blu-ray, flawed as it may be.

IMO, Everyday Life is a much better album and I like the streaming mix. Would support it 100%.

Of course the dream would be A Rush of Blood to the Head, one of their best albums, IMO.

I'm completely down for any of the first 3 albums...

The Atmos mix is no great shakes though

I really like Everyday Life too. Didn't realize there was a streaming Atmos mix. This is why we need streaming polls!

 

[SeeMoreDigital]

Surely Coldplay have more than enough money to produce and release their own surround sound content...

My streaming budget does some out of my music purchase budget. But I've got some left over. The main thing I'm not buying any more are the $100 boxes with one surround mix that I can stream instead.

I'm still waiting for the Gilbert O'Sullivan. The last-mentioned delivery date has tacitly expired. A request on Monday has not yet been answered. What's going on there?

At this point I would take my disc without the signature on it!

 

[Pitscher]

I don`t need it signed. But there is no choice.

Luckily for me I purchased Gilbert more as a curiosity and to support the SDE Surround Series. It's not something I needed to hear on release day so I can be patient. I've bought dozens of things through Paul's SDE shop over the years without an issue so I'm not at all worried.

I don’t see this as an issue with Paul and realize it is out of his hands. I’m very appreciative that he is making this Blu-ray Audio series available

Since I’ve only ordered the TFF so far, I went ahead and ordered a copy of the Eno last night. Out of all the other releases so far, this one is at least a little interesting to me as I like his work with Robert Fripp, Talking Heads etc. and am fascinated to hear his so called unorthodox approach to the surround mix.
