Exclusive to the SDE shop • Steven Wilson Dolby Atmos Mix • Steven Wilson 5.1 Mix • Instrumental Mixes • #28 in the SDE Surround Series • Region-free blu-ray • Release date: 25 October

Iconic British duo Tears For Fears have announced their first-ever official live album, Songs For A Nervous Planet. The album includes four brand-new studio tracks, including new single 'The Girl That I Call Home’.

SDE, in collaboration with the band and Concord Records is bringing you this exclusive blu-ray audio of the new album which features a generous selection of Steven Wilson mixes including Dolby Atmos and 5.1 Surround Sound.

The album features live highlights from the band's 2022 Tipping Point album as well as a generous trip through their greatest hits including 'Mad World', 'Shout', 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World', 'Pale Shelter', 'Head Over Heels', 'Sowing The Seeds Of Love', 'Woman in Chains', 'Change' and many more!

Curt Smith: "I think a lot of people don't know that we are a good live band, actually! They see a duo, and they think it's going to be two people with a couple of keyboards and a bunch of backing tapes, and that'll be it. Over the years, we've vastly improved since our heyday back in the Eighties.” 

Roland Orzabal adds, “We’ve never released an official live album, so you could say this is an album forty years in the making.” 

The Songs For A Nervous Planet SDE-exclusive Blu-ray Audio will feature all 22 tracks (4 studio and 18 live) in the following audio streams:

• Steven Wilson Dolby Atmos mix (48/24)
• Steven Wilson DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix (live tracks 96/24 - studio tracks 48/24)
• Steven Wilson Stereo Mix (live tracks 96/24 - studio tracks 48/24)
• Standard Stereo Mix (48/24)

The fold down stereo is essentially the same as the band’s approved stereo mix, but being derived from the surround mix it has a different and less compressed mastering. Additionally, the blu-ray features exclusive instrumentals of the four new studio songs:

• Say Goodbye To Mum And Dad - Steven Wilson Instrumental Mix (48/24)
• The Girl That I Call Home - Steven Wilson Instrumental Mix (48/24)
• Emily Said  - Steven Wilson Instrumental Mix (48/24)
• Astronaut  - Steven Wilson Instrumental Mix (48/24)

This Songs For A Nervous Planet (REGION FREE) Blu-ray Audio is #28 in the ongoing SDE Surround Series and will released on 25 October 2024. It will be packaged similarly to previous editions and ships with a free, collectible SDE Surround Series slipcase.
