XTC - Skylarking (Remastered) (1986/2024) (Blu-ray)

Deluxe CD + all region Blu-Ray edition. Skylarking is the second of XTC's albums to be mixed in Dolby Atmos by Steven Wilson, following last year's highly acclaimed mix for The Big Express. For many music fans, this is the XTC classic album, the one there is always most demand for. The album has been mixed for Dolby Atmos Immersive Audio from the original multi-track studio master tapes by Steven Wilson & is fully approved by XTC. CD: features the 2016 album mix & bonus album track mixes by Steven Wilson. Blu-ray: Full album & additional tracks mixed in Dolby Atmos + instrumental versions. Skylarking: XTC's most commercially successful album was, for many years, also it's most mythical with tales of "lost" multi-track tapes (sadly true of other XTC albums but not this one), a song originally dropped from the album only to be replaced when it inadvertently became a hit single in the USA, a perfect match, on paper, between the ideal Britpop band a decade before the term was invented & an Anglophile super-producer that turned rather imperfect in personality terms but still resulted in a classic album. The Blu-ray also includes the 2016 mixes in DTS-HD MA 5. 1 Surround, 24/96 Hi-Res Stereo plus instrumental versions - all mixed by Steven Wilson.
