I was blown away, when I first gave this a good blast through my Atmos 7.2.4 setup.(I still am)
The use of ALL the speakers, is quite breathtaking.
His choice in music to accentuate how Atmos can be utilised, is very clever.

Andy's musical style may not be to everyone's taste but I like it.
It has a freshness, which is never boring.

This release will get plenty of plays.

Keep 'em coming Andy!!

12.5 steps in the right direction.

As I previously said, "no ifs or buts", 10

I'm all with you on this one, have only listened once, but I think one of my rare 10's may come up. Will listen again this afternoon and then cast my vote.

Well mixed. Not my favorite style of music, so I feel I must cut a point for that.
As with his (2014?) DVDA release of Signal To Noise. Interesting, but doesn't really grab me.

I rate a good solid 9. I may revise upwards after more listening.

As an aside, the Signal To Noise cover lists Dolby THD, DTS Master Audio, & pcm. Of course THD and DTS MA would not be allowed on a DVDA disc so not sure what those logo's are about.

Assaid above, bit MOR for my tastes (when will Osees release some surround?). But it does grab you by the short and curlies.

I've got a couple of Andy's earlier albums, signal to noise & 73 days, that I didn't much care for. But I do enjoy this one more so musically. We'll see how well it grows on me. Surround mix is great so I'll give it a 9.

I just finished listening to this.
Atmos-Blu Ray ripped using MAKE MKV and MMH- MKV file. 24bit/48Khz. DR's are 10, 11, 12, 13's 14's, 15's.
I voted 10.
I loved the spacey type of music and those moments of deep LFE bass where superb.
I was sitting by myself, and fell back into an eye closed state of being and just went on a trip where the music took me, highly enjoyable.
I have ordered the upcoming 5.1 release.
