The Overview from @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social springs into life in surround. It is one of the best #DolbyAtmos mixes I have heard. Percussion shimmers, Rhodes sparkle & the vocals are 😘. If The Blue Nile’s debut was the gold standard for vinyl, this is the Atmos diamond. @burningshed.com #MusicSky

How did I miss “Eminence Front” - a wonderful 1982 song from The Who? I heard it on #Severance, but it passed me by on its release. It’s on repeat now, making up for lost plays! #80s #80sMusic

Tonight is all about The Comsat Angels. A lovely ‘walking’ bassline from Kevin Bacon on this one, “The Cutting Edge”, a late period CSA classic. You will have to track down a physical copy if you want to hear it, as this album has never been on streaming. #MusicSky #80s #80sMusic #80sAlbums

#NowPlaying Bryan Ferry “Retrospective” #DolbyAtmos mix on Blu-ray from @super-deluxe.bsky.social. The #70s material is great (the bass on ‘The ‘in’ Crowd’ ❤️) & the #80s material (esp ‘Don’t Stop The Dance’ & ‘Kiss and Tell’) is stunning. A generous 16 stereo cuts makes this a 5* release. #MusicSky

Some of my #TheStranglers badges plus a Hugh Cornwell “Nosferatu” badge. The bottom 3 and the right side red #TheRaven are replicas. Too long in the tooth to wear badges now, so they sit on the side of my PC with some #MickeyMouse glittery things from visits to Florida / Disneyland. #MusicSky

#NowPlaying Harp - “Albion” - an album I’ve not played for a while, the first album from Tim Smith (formerly of Midlake) and Kathi Zung. It has pleasing nods to 80s The Cure with the heavy reverb and chorused guitar. #MusicSky

RIP #DavidLynch. He was responsible for giving me so much joy with both of the #TwinPeaks TV series. I can remember sitting down to watch the first series live in 1990 - pre-internet, with no catchup. My mind was blown as it was in the early hours of the morning every week with The Return in 2017.
