Tears For Fears - Songs From The Big Chair (HI-RES & ATMOS)
Kuvaus
Tutustu minun YouTube kanavaa, jossa esittelen Atmos, 5.1 surround ja quad miksattuja levyjä.: https://www.youtube.com/@petrimyllyla2014
Älä anna kuvan hämätä. Tämä EI OLE ceedee-levy. Tämä music only Blu-ray ilmestyy 14.11.2025 osana jatkuvaa Super Deluxe Edition eksklusiivista julkaisusarjaa. SDE erikoispahvikannet näet kuvan 1 alarivissä. Ylhäällä on avaamaton muovikotelo edestä ja takaa. Valitettavasti painois on myyty loppuun!
Siinä on mukana kuvassa 2 näkyvä erillinen pahvikansi. Tilasin näitä levyjä Englannista kaksi kappaletta sillä ajattelin että mikäli joku Suomessa haluaa ostaa vain tämän levyn, Englannista tilaaminen ja kalliit posti- ja tullimaksut olisivat kohtuuttomat.
Tears For Fears / Songs From The Big Chair 40th anniversary reissue
Five formats including SDE exclusive blu-ray
Tears For Fears’ 1985 album Songs From The Big Chair is being reissued for its 40th anniversary across a number of formats, including as an SDE exclusive blu-ray with a brand new Dolby Atmos Mix by Steven Wilson.
The band’s second album became a global sensation, topping the US charts and spawning five hit singles, ‘Mothers Talk’, ‘Shout’, ‘Everybody Wants To Rule The World’, ‘Head Over Heels’, and ‘I Believe’. ‘Everybody Wants To Rule The World’ and ‘Shout’ both reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
I co-compiled the 4CD+2DVD box released in 2014 (a set often touted as a high point in pop reissues) and I’m therefore delighted to be involved again by offering fans an SDE-exclusive blu-ray edition of Songs From The Big Chair, the fourth Tears For Fears release to be part of the ongoing SDE Surround Series
For this release, as well as creating a new Dolby Atmos Mix, Steven Wilson has revisited his 5.1 Surround and Stereo Mixes that were created in 2014. While Wilson stresses that he’s still proud of those mixes, he says that “the intervening 11 years working in surround and immersive audio have given me a lot more experience, so I thought it would be interesting to revisit these mixes with fresh ears. Both have consequently been revised for 2025, primarily in an attempt to be even more faithful to the 1985 album mix. This original mix for me is still definitive, but as a necessary step on the way to creating the 5.1 and Atmos mixes, the 2025 stereo remix is included here as an alternative”.
Fans might recall that multi-track tapes for both parts of ‘Broken’ were missing in 2014 and unfortunately they are still missing, presumed lost. A decade ago, a pseudo 5.1 surround version of this song was created using software called Penteo to upmix from the stereo. This worked pretty well, but this time around more recent advances in the technology allowed Steven Wilson to split the original 1985 mix of ‘Broken’ into several individual ‘stems’ (vocals, guitar, bass, drums etc.), and using these he was able achieve a greater degree of spatial separation. Still not comparable with a genuine remix from the multitrack tapes, but at least providing more consistency with the rest of the remixed album.
All three Steven Wilson audio streams (Atmos, 5.1 & Stereo) are also available in instrumental form on the SDE exclusive blu-ray. Below is a summary of the audio streams on the SDE exclusive blu-ray:
