Listening to in Dolby Atmos Streaming, via Tidal/Apple/Amazon

Gotta say: I was already in love with the Andre 3000 record. Getting it in Atmos is making me fall deeper.

Same here. Plus it pulls out some elements that were buried in that stereo mix

Tangentially related to the thread but still worth sharing: iOS/tvOS/iPadOS etc etc 17.3 is starting to roll out…NOW! This includes the long awaited but constantly delayed collaborative playlists on Apple Music. Might be fun to organize a site-wide “ultimate demo playlist”

A lot of people might know Ethan from The Bad Plus if they know him at all, but he's been putting out great records under his own name going all the way back to the late 90s. Looking forward to this one. Here's a profile/interview by Phil Freeman in Stereogum:

And...a great interview (first of two parts) by Nate Chinen with Ethan explaining a lot about the new album:

Seems like months since any new classic rock re-releases mixed in Atmos on Apple Music. Anyone else notice this? Am I missing something?

 

[HomerJAU]

Always a break like this over Christmas. Nothing interesting for me at least.

 

[Discollector]

At long last. Achtung Baby in Atmos!!!

Hoping Alice In Chains Jar of Flies will be released this week in Atmos for anny!

Elbow - Audio Vertigo
Album drops in two months time, 1st single Lovers' Leap.

I love Elbow. Would be nice to hear their back catalog in Atmos, like Take Off, Leaders or Build a Rocket Boys.

I’ve been listening to this. I don’t like the mix. It’s one thing to be adventurous and bring out all the little details in the music, and aggressively use the sound field, but the heft and power of the original is missing. It’s too diffuse and because of that, it sounds like a different record. I know that others will find the opposite, and that’s ok and valid. It’s just my impression. That said, this IS a good demo to show a person new to ATMOS how enveloping the music can be.

I also didn't like it but for other reasons. It's so disappointing and underwhelming mix.
It's mostly trying to go for the sound bubble effect and rarely on discrete sounds but I think it fails in both.
It's also the first time in an Atmos mix that I thought that the bass was way too high and it distracted me.
I'll give it another spin in the next few days but for now, it's a "meh" score from me.

 

[Mcallister]

Weird I thought the bass was lacking
