Our complaints have been heard. There was so much outcry about having to shell out $150 as part of a big box to get one Blu-ray, that the guys in Transatlantic are offering a stand-alone release of The Absolute Universe Blu-ray for a limited time.

The catch is that it is not available everywhere. I just defaulted and ordered from Neal's site, but it is supposed to be available at all the band member's websites and at Inside Out Records website. From what I understand, it won't show up at Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc.

Neal's site (USA) = https://www.nealmorse.com/product/the-a ... satlantic/

Pete's site (actually the Marillion site, UK) = http://www.marillion.com/shop/dvd/trans07.htm

Inside Out - EUROPE = https://www.insideoutshop.de/Item/Trans ... ray-/16736

I've checked Mike Portnoy's website, Ronie Stolt's website (Flower Kings) and Inside Out USA (Century Media) and there is no listing at any of those sites.

Neal used to charge an arm-and-a-leg for shipping but he only would ship First Class in the past. There is now a Media Mail option which makes the shipping charges a bit better.

Hope you guys enjoy, I was pretty happy to see I could get this without having to buy five vinyl records at the same time. Saves me both space and money. Pretty great that the Transatlantic guys listened to their customers. My hats off to them.

Do you know what the 2.0 sampling & bit rate is on the blu-ray?

"- Transatlantic KaLIVEoscope Deluxe Boxset on sale for $9.99! Now through Dec. 2nd. Boxset contains 3CD/2DVD/Blu-ray. (CLICK HERE!)"

I was all excited about this. But apparently they mean Dec 2020 & haven't removed the promo tag.................

Are you referring to a stereo mix? I think there is only a 5.1 mix on the Blu-ray. Like with the 2 different CD packages, the 5.1 mix isn't just a surround mix but is a different presentation of the album. The 1 CD version of the album is about 60 minutes, the 2 CD version of the album is about 90 minutes, and the 5.1 mix of the Blu-ray is about 100 minutes.

Thanx! If the blu had a 2.0 option, I would be more interested. Will look at the download stores.
