Anyone able to find the Atmos mix on the streaming services? I see the 50th edition on Apple Music (including the new David Kosten stereo mix), but no Atmos as of yet.
Mike Oldfield "Tubular Bells" (limited-run SDE Blu-Ray with Dolby Atmos, 5.1, and Quad mixes shipping 5/26)

I am so jealous to you golden ears guys who can feel the difference between Apple Music and BD Atmos. I wonder can I learn it at age of 57? I have tried to heard it and couldn't find it. Neither could two my friends who did A/B.

Just listening it. Although the album is not big for me it's nice to own it finally. (BD notice and custom declare done, takes 4-6 days).

I received mine yesterday and had just a few hours to wait until I had a listen through. I had to crank the volume a few dbs higher to get the volume right. I really enjoyed it. To my ears, it's both immersive and discrete. There seems to be quite a lot of use of the atmos heights to place some sounds directly above your head. I'm a lot more familiar with the 2003 recording from the DVDA and I've only had 1 listen to the sacd (late purchase) and this is based on the original. To my ears it's a winner and a very worthwhile purchase. I shall be listening through again very shortly
Now on the to listen to mountain!

I am listening right now
Yeah it's massive to me (49), especially in the upper registers. It's rare I listen to lossy Atmos and don't find it lacking in fidelity. I don't have a lot of titles to A/B but the ones I've compared the most have been The Beatles - Abbey Road and Steven Wilson - The Future Bites and in each case the Blu-ray sounds pristine compared to the lossy streaming version which sounds muffled.
For stereo I find 320 Kbps mp3 to be transparent to CD.
Mine has shipped. Yes. Wrong band.

Mine is on the way -but I have listened to it twice in ATMOS this morning through AMAZON MUSIC and I am blown away - the mix is fabulous and the ATMOS is really well used. I have all the other versions of TUBULAR BELLS and this one is my favorite. It is an immersive joy.
I don't know the album all that well, but the Atmos mix is indeed very effective and makes appropriate use of the entire soundstage (including sounds mixed almost entirely to the height speakers). There's this one section midway through Part I where it sounds like you're inside a giant cello(?), and of course the ending bit with Vivian Stanshall calling out all the instruments is particularly fun.
I'm a bit surprised that the quad mix has been encoded as a 5.1 DTS-HD MA stream (albeit with empty centre and LFE channels). By contrast, the quad mix on the Ten Years After BRD-A was encoded as a 4.0 DTS-HD MA stream...
This is typically considered best practice, as some folks have reported issues where only the front channels play with 4.0 content over HDMI.

I'm really looking foreward to this already have the 2003 DVDA but that's a rerecording
My copy has left Langley so it will be another week before it gets to me
I understand Gos's copy has been held back for a secondary customs inspection and earmarked for special attention by the DEA in New York City so his will be delayed a while longer.

LMFAO! The hell of it is...you may be right.
Fabulous Friday. I received the blu ray of SDE’s Tubular Bells as well as Turn of a Friendly Card (from Cherry Red). It’s going to be a good night.
