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

[MrSmithers]

It's on (thanks @adamschoales for the heads up). No Tidal.

Wow!!! What a result! Really enjoying the mix - sounds great. Loving the title track. Door opens in the rears and the footsteps pan across the rear channels! And plenty of isolated sound effects. Hope the ghouls don't start breaking into the house by the end of the track like the video... That would be too immersive!

Re: SPOON:
Mixed by their drummer and producer Jim Eno... though he says "we"... assume he means he and Britt.

This was a good one.

Christmas has come early to my happy lug holes.

This is the real deal.

I'll forgive Apple for increasing the monthly cost...(almost) although I feel it could be a slippery slope for future increases.

But this is one musical gem waiting for the right mix. Ladies and gentlemen I believe it's found it.

Wow!! I am shocked that this is available! I knew there was a 5.1 mix done by Bob Clearmountain (I think?) but MJ kept changing it and then he just was never happy enough to release it. I wonder if this is from that mix?

I just had a moment to listen to the title track. I immediately added it to my “Surround” playlist in Apple Music. Enjoyed that quite a bit.

Chicago - The Very Best of Chicago - Only the Beginning (Atmos Mix) - 39 tracks in Atmos!

Interesting mixes - there's a lot of eerie isolated stuff in the center speaker, like the piano in "Saturday In The Park" and acoustic rhythm guitar in "25 Or 6 To 4". The percussion in the heights at the end of "Beginnings" is fun. I'm not sure I prefer these to the quads, but I'm glad Warner didn't just upmix them.

And on Apple Music:

Not totally unexpected, but confirmed often the artists haven't got a clue about these releases.

Saw Soul Asylum last night, and managed to quickly ask Dave Pirner a question at the end of the pre- show Q&As.

"Dave, you just released Grave Dancers in Dolby Atmos, any plans to release any others?"

Semi- blank look "is that that five one thing?"

 

[Cheezmo]

New 54 track version (same title and the old one is still there too, how confusing). Now with a blue cover...

I'm listening in 5.1 only, and haven't heard the whole album yet, but halfway through the first song, with isolated vocals in the center and active discrete rears, I thought: sure sounds like a Steven Wilson mix. The songs after that use different mix approaches, so it's probably not him, but it's very enjoyable in any case. Sounds great in 5.1. Spoon always impresses me; they may be repeating themselves somewhat at this point in their career, but it's still great stuff.

Read a Spoon album review a while back - 'sound like the other Spoon records, only better'....to me, this seems to happen every release!

You wanted heavy?
Disturbed - Divisive

Coheed And Cambria - Vaxis II

I jumped straight to Get Away which I’ve always loved to crank as loud as possible. Then went to Wishing You Were Here and now I’m A Man.

Early to say, but so far I think I also lean toward the quads. (Obviously some of this material, like Get Away, wasn’t in quad.) But based on what I’ve heard with this mix, I’ll be happy listening to it when I’m too lazy to pull out the quad discs. Very enjoyable so far.

A new spatial section - at least to me:

All the songs are really, really well done. And no doubt "Hard to Say I'm Sorry/Get Away" is one of the best here, definitely once they switch to that jam, wow! (And on radio for years, they would only play the Hard to Say I'm Sorry portion and cut off Get Away :-( argh!)

(And on radio for years, they would only play the Hard to Say I'm Sorry portion and cut off Get Away :-( argh!)

Agreed. That was a huge radio pet peeve of mine back then.

With more songs having played, I’m ready to commit to buying this if it ever gets released on disc. Unlikely, I imagine, but I live in hope.
