I knew nothing of Ian Thomas and his musical style.
If this release is an example of Ian's work then it's a fine one.
Everything breathes quality in the song writing, the production and a truly wonderful Atmos mix.
Stefan Bocks fantastic mixing skills are used to the maximum on this release.
I repeat, the Atmos mix is soooo good đź‘Ť
An entertaining 10
 
Listened to the Ian Thomas blu-ray a couple of times this morning. The Atmos mix is terrific. I remember his Top 40 hit, "Painted Ladies" from 1973. When I started reading about him, I remembered he wrote "Right Before Your Eyes" which was covered by America and "Hold On" which was recorded by Santana. He reminds me of America a bit. Very enjoyable.
 
An exemplary immersive recording. Forward focused, well glued together sounstage, plus aggressive use of surround in ways that accentuate/compliment the music. The mix is dynamic, open and very well balanced. Musically, think Sting, America, Christopher Cross, Bruce Coburn. Intelligent pop, never saccharin. This is a reference disc.
 
I stumbled upon this a while on Tidal, attracted by the cover. While it's not my usual fare, I still enjoyed it and noted its good mix. I won't vote, as I don't own it physically, but I give it a good nine. I will go back to this from time to time.
