Matt Deighton's 2023 album, Today Become Forever, is the next release in the SDE Surround Series, with this Blu-ray Audio featuring Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and stereo mixes, limited to 1,000 units.

For those unfamiliar with Matt, he is a superb singer, songwriter and guitarist who first came to prominence in the 1990s in the group Mother Earth. Signed to Acid Jazz, they released three studio albums before disbanding in 1996. Matt then went on the road as Paul Weller's guitarist on 1997's Heavy Soul tour and remained with The Weller band until late 1999 when he joined Oasis (!) as replacement guitarist for Noel Gallagher who had taken a sabbatical from the newly reunited band.

Beyond this, over the years and decades Matt Deighton has released a number of solo albums and collaborations most of which garnered critical acclaim. His 1995 album Villager is often hailed as a British folk classic and 2001's The Common Good was part produced by John Leckie and features performances from drummer Steve White, Mick Talbot, Paul Weller, Marco Nelson and others. 2017's Kids Steal Feelings was a collaboration with Squeeze legend Chris Difford and the making of the excellent Doubtless Dauntless, from 2018, was documented in the Sky Arts film Overshadowed. Matt's most recent release is The Instant Garden, an album recorded with Dr. Robert of The Blow Monkeys.

Today Become Forever was originally issued in 2023 and features three tracks produced by the legendary Ken Scott ('High Time (Figured It Out)', 'Snow Lit Lovers' and 'When All Heaven Breaks Loose'. Other tracks include the epic opener 'A Song That's On My Mind', the poppy 'Anhedonia' and the acoustic lilt of 'Letting Go'.

The SDE exclusive blu-ray will be the second release on SDE Records and #44 in the ongoing SDE Surround Series. It will feature the album in Dolby Atmos (mixed by Tim Burns) alongside a 5.1 mix, a Hi-Res Stereo version, and exclusive instrumental version as well as a previously unreleased track from the Today Become Forever sessions, called 'Satisfaction' (an original composition, not the Stones song!). Matt supplied this and it was newly mixed by Tim Burns.
