Best Streamed Atmos Titles!

[humprof]

How could I forget Bjork! That is probably my one favorite if I was forced to choose only one, streaming only title.

Sasha Geffen has a beautiful essay about the new album and about the trajectory of Bjork's career at NPR:

How Björk's singular voice became an army of we

In the three decades between her solo debut and this year's Fossora, Björk has turned her singular singing voice toward a more egalitarian ideal.

They also link to a track-by-track rundown of the album in The Atlantic:

How to Listen to Björk, According to Björk

The Icelandic artist breaks down her powerful new album, 'Fossora.'

Hmmmm....tired to link to a playlist of mine of tunes that come from albums that only have one or two songs available in Atmos but it wouldn't display. Anyway, a few notable ones:

Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star
Bee Gees - Nights On Broadway
Laurie Anderson - Big Science
Earth Wind & Fire - September
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

I'm not finding the Gnarls Barkley anywhere on Apple -- do you have a link, perchance?

 

[Quad grant me serenity]

This one is amazing. Great recording and a very active mix. And all new music!

I would like to mention The Grateful Dead - Europe '72 on Apple Music. It is very discrete and almost quadraphonic. You hear Jerry's guitar in the left rear, and Bob's guitar in the right rear.

Here's my updated list:

• Grateful Dead - American Beauty, Europe '72
• Tom Petty - Wildflowers+, Best of
• Tori Amos - Ocean To Ocean
• Elton John - Diamonds
• Bob Marley & The Wailers - Exodus, Legend, and Kaya
• Doors - The whole Catalog, but in particular the debut is way better than the SACD I have
• Crown Lands - White Buffalo
• Enigma - The Platinum Collection, but Volume 1 is all you really need
• The Band - Cahoots
• Beatles - Sgt Pepper, Revolver
• Traveler's Blues - Blues Traveler
• UB40 - Best of Labour of Love
• Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
• Rush - Moving Pictures
• Mickey Hart - Planet Drum

Still leaving Monkey House off, but only because I bought the download.

I want to plug @MrSmithers' 2022 picks over in the Listening thread:

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

So every year I peruse a bunch of year-end "Best" lists published at places like NPR, PopMatters, Pitchfork, the New York Times, Stereogum, The New Yorker, Bandcamp, etc., etc., with the aim of finding potentially interesting stuff to check out--in all different genres. I probably pay the most...

The two Sublime's, John Doe, Joe Strummer, and both Megadeth's are the ones I would have to add to the lists already posted. Has the Joni Mitchell's made any lists? Bo Burnham and Ozzy, honorable mentions

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Nice one, sounds a little muddy (distorted/fuzzy ???) at times to me though; is it the whole album that's in Atmos or just Crazy?

I just do Tidal so far, here's my list of albums for now:

• Grateful Dead - American Beauty
• Tom Petty - Wildflowers+
• Tori Amos - Ocean To Ocean
• Elton John - Diamonds
• Bob Marley & The Wailers - Exodus, Legend, and Kaya
• Doors - The whole Catalog, but in particular the debut is way better than the SACD I have
• Crown Lands - White Buffalo
• Enigma - The Platinum Collection, but Volume 1 is all you really need
• The Band - Cahoots
• Beatles - Sgt Pepper (not especially good Atmos, but it's a great version of a great album)
• Traveler's Blues - Blues Traveler
• UB40 - Best of Labour of Love
• Steel Pulse - True Democracy (not an astounding mix, but it sure does sound good)
• Rush - Moving Pictures

I'd vote for Monkey House, but I only get two tracks in Atmos on Tidal. Also, there are a bunch of 360RA titles on Tidal some of which are on Apple and some not. I'll leave those aside for now. Also, I'm leaving out some just because I have a better hard copy. Yello, TFF, xPropaganda and all the Talking Heads in particular.

Also, I heartily endorse this thread. There are too many streaming Atmos titles for me to sort through reviews of all of them especially since a relatively small percentage of them are going to interest me.

How did you find the Atmos version of Tori's Ocean to Ocean. I can't seem to find it. I hate that you can't get reliable results with a search of Atmos and an artist.

Nevermind, I found it.

I make a list every year with my ten favorite (new) songs from ten different artists. This is my first year with more immersive formats than stereo. So here my top ten 2022:

Happy new year, folks!

Thanks, going to crank out your playlist this afternoon, looks fantastic.

Thanks! It is actually quite spectacular, at least in my quad setup.

Wasn't sure where to post this after doing a search on Atmos Streaming and Beach Boys Pet Sounds but I think it will interest a few folks that might not otherwise see this article...

Giles Martin on Mixing The Beach Boys’ Seminal Pet Sounds in Atmos

In the mid-1960s, The Beatles and The Beach Boys had what could be described as a “friendly” creative rivalry. When Beach Boys visionary Brian Wilson heard December 1965’s Rubber Soul, he countered with May 1966’s Pet Sounds. When The Beatles heard Pet Sounds, they answered with August 1966’s...
