Post Description

This has been in the works for quite some time, and I know a lot of people are interested in it, so I thought I would let you know that I have just received the 5.1 mix of Sanctuary IV, or as it will be called "THE RINGMASTER" from Robert Reed (he of Magenta, Sanctuary, Cyan, Chimpan A, Kiama, Kompendium fame.)
It's a concept album split into two parts. I'm currently play testing part one, so there will be a Sanctuary V at some future point.
So, how does it sound? I know you're not going to believe me, but Rob's actually upped his game! His surround mixes are normally pretty much top of the pile (imho) but on this one, it's as if he's taken everything he's learnt from previous Sanctuary recordings/mixes, plus the sonic impact of "Cursus 123 430" and worked out how he can take his sound to another level. The result is powerful, hugely dynamic, crystal clear, completely enveloping and immersive, and utterly engaging. I honestly wouldn't have though it possible that he could improve so much from his previous work, but he has. Incredible.

Audio: 5.1 DTS  + 5.1 DD
