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

Don’t think this has been mentioned

or this one

 

[Cheezmo]

New Pete Townshend Single

 

[AYanguas]

Do you mean that all streaming Atmos is mediocre, or just some of it?

I mean mediocre Atmos mixes when they don't use many objects... many channels... and fully use my Wide Speakers... Of course much content on heights, and many discrete and moving sounds... Not only a small effect at the end of the song, but during the whole song.

I want to experience all that. If not, we already have stereo/5.1 and AVR upmixers.

Now, seriously, I can appreciate the effort of achieving immersion without discrete ping-pong sounds. But the fun is in taking a little of this and a little of that.

The streaming mediocre quality is another thing, although not so important. The mix is what matters.

rather lovely and a nice wash of Atmos activity from on high

young band's cover of Calum Scott's tune which has its own atmos treatment which wasn't anything special (due to the song being piano and vocal)
This band's version is much more interesting in a very special way.

Whoa man, dag nabbit, how could this not be loved in California, won't me get me to be a critical nelly. Atmos Apple4K

 

[marpow]

I am listening now Apple4K CA, Carl Perkins Blue Suede Shoes Atmos. Man, after just listening to Dark Side Of The Moon in Atmos, this Carl Perkins Atmos sounds like MONO, when I listened to it yesterday it was better, that just shows you how great Dark Side is.

Carl Perkins

My uncle who got me into music, played guitar in Carl Perkins band back in the day.

 

[haikubass]

suitably trippy with lots of fannying about panning! woo!!

OK Nigel:

Ah, they had a live stream of the album yesterday - I assumed it had been released, but not quite yet. Thanks.

Upcoming new Chemical Brothers album, lead single in Atmos

Noticed that this was done at abbey road studios so I decided to check tidal on the credits and it looks like Giles Martin did the atmos mix!

Ludwig Göransson's name may be on the soundtrack albums for the Black Panther movies, but Senegalese living legend Baaba Maal deserves a lot more credit than he's been given. (Maal himself also has a forthcoming album with an Atmos mix and a preview track.)

Still only three tracks for the new Baaba Maal album, but after reading this interview with Afropop's Banning Eyre today, I'm really looking forward to the entire album when it drops next week, on the 31st:

Any Meshell Ndegocello fans here? Not an exciting Atmos mix, unfortunately, but it's gonna be an exciting album:

This mixer definitely isn't afraid of the heights. Crazy good. On par with the Chemical Bros.

+1 for this album.

Alice, Sacrifice and Avalanche are demo material!

 

[Sal1950]

For me it's easy, to me a good Atmos mix is better than a good 5.1 mix any day of the week.

Agreed, but the key word there is "good"
Both formats can be variable depending on the nut behind the mixing panel.
But the same can be said for 2ch mixes also

Owe you one for this find, amigo.

Philip Glass gets labeled classical, which is ok, but inadequate for the breadth and intensity of some of it.
Made for surround listening, this will be my weekend immersion.
