Isn't this pretty much a recycled jubilee concept
Sounds like Dave and Perk gave him a hard "NOPE" on KH

Kind of shitty that as soon as Dave said "nope", suddenly Peter D got a call to make some music.

So... the one thing that is genuinely kind of interesting about all of this is that the new album will be mixed in Dolby Atmos. The only issue is that you have to have Atmos-compatible hardware to get the full benefit. I have a pretty basic 5.1 setup with a receiver that can do Dolby Digital+, but it's a few years old and it can't do Atmos. I could spring for this $300 entry-level one as a replacement: https://www.cnet.com/reviews/onkyo-tx-nr585-review/ (that's about how much my Onkyo cost) but mine works just fine and I would also have to grab a bunch more speakers and probably upgrade at least my two front tower speakers to really make it worth bothering.
Oh, also, I don't really care for these songs. If he remixed and re-released Song Yet To Be Sung in Atmos? Yeah, I think I might actually pay $30 for that.
