Очередной эксклюзив от SDE на Blu-ray Audio в Dolby Atmos - дебютный альбом 1983 года The Hurting от известной английской группы синти попа и альтернатива Tears For Fears.

В альбом вошли хиты ‘Mad World’, ‘Change’ и ‘Pale Shelter’, все из которых достигли первой пятерки британских чартов в 1982-3 годах. Как и на многих ремастерах других переизданий к выпуску данного диска приложил руку известный музыкант, автор песен и продюсер Стивен Уилсон, который создал микс Dolby Atmos и специальный микс 5.1, которые были одобрены группой. Кроме того, этот новый Hurting Blu-ray Audio будет включать ранее не издававшийся инструментальный микс The Hurting и два ранее не издававшихся бонус-трека...

In collaboration with Virgin/UMR, SDE presents a limited edition Blu-ray Audio version of Tears For Fears 1982 debut album, The Hurting. This Tears For Fears Blu-ray Audio is #9 in the ongoing SDE Surround Series and will be packaged similarly to previous editions and ships with a free, collectible SDE Surround Series slipcase.

The album features the hit singles 'Mad World', 'Change' and 'Pale Shelter', all of which reached the top five of the UK charts in 1982-3. The Hurting, written solely by Roland Orzabal, is a loose concept album focusing on themes of childhood psychological trauma and Arthur Janov’s Primal Scream therapy, the theories behind which gave the band their name. Despite its dark subject matter, the album was a huge commercial success [topping the UK charts] and continues to resonate with younger audiences.

has created a Dolby Atmos Mix and a dedicated 5.1 mix which have been approved by the band. Additionally, the blu-ray will feature a previously unreleased instrumental mix of The Hurting and two previously unreleased bonus tracks.

The story behind these bonus tracks is rather interesting. When Steven Wilson was supplied with the multi-track tapes for remixing, he came across two unreleased versions of songs from the album. These were 'Mad World' and 'Watch Me Bleed', as produced by Mike Howlett, the man responsible for the first single version of 'Pale Shelter'. Howlett's might have ended up producing the album, but his working relationship with Tears For Fears was destined to be short-lived, with Roland Orzabal explaining to this writer in 2013 [on the 30th anniversary] that "he was trying to use the LinnDrum [machine] on everything and we were not very happy". Curt also thought that "Mike was far too commercial for us" and thus Mike Howlett ultimately made way for Chris Hughes and Ross Cullum to produce The Hurting.
