Title: Win Tickets To Brothers In Arms Playback Event
Post by: qjamesfloyd on February 24, 2023, 09:46:44 AM
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet or not, but I got an email about a special playback event of the new Atmos mix of Brothers In Arms.

I saw on twitter that this young fan did.

Unfortunately the Department for Work & Pensions is now carrying out an investigation into the older fan for benefits fraud after he claimed he was bedridden for a number of years but was then witnessed dancing before embarking on a factory tour.

Yes, I did! And in the end I couldn’t make it. Bugger.
I asked about transferring tix, no chance, passport entry only.

Just as well, the flight I would have caught was severely delayed.

This event sounds like a nice thing!  8) But was it top secret, or was it just no Amit'ers there? I haven read any comments on facebook either. It doesn't surprise me if people who attended are not allowed to tell anything..The management seem to simply love the secrecy-thing I am quite tired of  :think

Would not make sense, surely they would want people to speak about how great the new Atmos mix is!

Let us hope those who are interested in sound have heard something then  :lol :lol  I haven't read a word, but I'm not into sound or have the equipment to listen to high- tech stuff anyway

It’s not that exciting really. You’re supposed to listen to the album via streaming service, CD or LP, while Twitter gives you some background to each track - but for most of us, nothing terribly new.

Well...

About Ride across the river:

The cricket sounds that can be heard in the track were recorded in the rain, up on the island's volcano.

Did you knew that?  ;)

Old or new quotes; I really like the effort! :D Imagine if Guy, Mark, Neil, John and Alan are acutally working on this together  :) (I know, sweet dreams. But surely Guy is writing, and somebody have collected quotes from somewhere )

That's actually would be a cool opportunity to make a podcast and collect all the people involved, who are all alive as far as I'm concerned (apart from George Martin). No need to be in one room even, just record a commentary on a smartphone or whatever. It's like 2023 is outside, and yet they discuss an album in a pager fashion on Twitter.
