The Doors catalog available now in Dolby Atmos!

[whatsmyname4]

Today on The Doors official Instagram page they posted: "Bruce & @johndensmore needed a helper with mixing the Doors catalog in Dolby Atmos! More news to come." Bruce being Bruce Botnick (the helper being a statue of Robby the Robot).

I didn't see this mentioned in a thread yet, so please delete it if I missed one in my search.

I'll add that I'm psyched to read this news, being a big Doors fan. I already have the Perception box, but I would probably double dip for a physical release if mixed in Atmos. I'm hoping the catalog ends up on Apple Music in Atmos since I noticed they had "Riders in the Storm" in an official Apple Atmos Rock playlist. I guess we'll see.

If not a physical disc, I want to throw up.

I would prefer that to be an option too.

but if it is physical this could be epic

and what ever happened to the L.A. Woman Atmos release? The doors said it was done a while ago but where is the atmos release of just that one album?

It can't top the Quad mix though, can it?

Well, but if they remix the freaking catalogue of the Doors, then that's nuts. If it were good, I'd buy it.....but I'd also be scared of the pricetag...

If I could wave the magic wand I would like.
A limited release box set all in Atmos, physical Blu Ray.

Personally, I am sick of various releases dribbling out partial coverage in various formats and then the big announcement, "The ENTIRE catalog to be released on XXX in July!". Talk about a scam.

I bought the Oliver Stone ''Doors" movie on iTunes years ago. Haven't watched it since. I clicked on it in my library via Apple Tv 4K yesterday and low and behold it played back in Dolby Atmos. They must upgrade our library purchases? It sounded great btw

Yes- if you purchase or redeem an HD movie through itunes, they will automatically upgrade the movie to the highest quality available. A nice feature. Doesn't work for SD movies.

I have some BD's I bought that I'll never watch because I can watch the movie in 4K with HDR on appletv.

In my experience, a physical BD still looks better than 4k streaming. Much higher data rate. YMMV.

No matter how it is released you always have the option of throwing up.

I have the 4k of the doors Oliver Stone movie in atmos on physical disc and it's fantastic, even better than the streaming on amazon due to the better bitrate

Ahhh! REally? It's an improvement?

My experience is different. The benefits of hdr and esp wide color gamut outweigh compression artifacts, which I notice infrequently and are rarely significant. Especially on the higher bitrate services like appletv and movies anywhere.

It still sounds better too.

Blu-rays make my home theater actually feel like a home theater compared to streaming.
