For some time I’ve been planning to have an online platform where I can focus on making audiophile versions of the things I work on. I love (and am still committed to) the Blu-ray format, but not everyone has the capacity to play these discs, not to mention that these releases need to be limited and tend to go out of print quickly, meaning the audio becomes unavailable.
So I’m happy to announce that a brand new Headphone Dust high res audio resource has now launched and will provide a permanent home for my work to be downloaded in high resolution, 5.1 and Atmos / spatial audio. To begin with I’m concentrating on my solo catalogue, but in time I hope to also be able to include other work with my own bands / collaborations and the many artists I’ve mixed for.
To celebrate the launch an exclusive live album is now available. Impossible Tightrope is a complete document of the final concert of the European leg of The Overview tour. Recorded in front of a lively Madrid audience, the two hour plus show has been mixed from the multitracks in stereo, 5.1 and Dolby Atmos. There are no plans for any physical release of this recording.
Additionally I have remixed two of my most popular albums The Raven That Refused to Sing (2013), and Hand.Cannot.Erase (2015) into Dolby Atmos for the first time. Raven is out now and Hand. Cannot. Erase. will be available soon!

Just beat me to it !
I’ve purchased the new Atmos mix of The Raven…
Hopefully this will mean an Atmos Mix of Hand… before too long? My favourite SW. There’s a 5.1 Mix but Atmos would take this to (literally) another level. (see what I did there!)
Does he ever sleep?
Is it just me that finds all this a bit complicated? Were my 40 years working for IT departments all in vain? How is it better for low end users listening on an iPhone or similar via pods? Would it sound better than via Apple Music or Spotify? What about that Sonos system I have all over the house, any use here?
How did the world get so complicated!
Might help…

I read the OP and thought “Wow, Bargie has an online platform and has a solo catalogue”
Ah, if only…..😂
ditto
Me too…
Me too!
I thought Bargie was Steven Wilson ITRW.
Raven & Hand are both tremendous albums. I love the emotional energy in them, something that prog doesn’t always have.
Ah, The Raven. Still gutted I didn’t get the 3d album sleeve.
Bought the live album, but will probably skip the others as I don’t have 5.1 or Atmos. I’m interested in hearing the difference between the stereo and binaural mix. The price isn’t bad for what you get, certainly compared to some of the hi-res donwload sites.
