"aye laddie, all grrrreat choices there, pal... but that list's not wee, it's bloody maaaaaahoosive and no mistake..!!!"

(as naughty as it is, i feel i can get away with such horrific cultural appropriation as there's more than a wee bit of Scotch in my blood on the McWilliams branch of the clan - and i don't mean the wee dram of Scotch Whiskey i had with my cornflakes, och aye the NO NO, that was strictly for medicinal purposes!!)

more seriously, that is a brillo set of suggestions, i can see several of your selections being distinct possibilities for sure

i would add there's a lot of EW&F choooons i'd love in Atmos! pretty much the whole catalogue would be splendid really!!

 

[Tres Discrete]

PS doesn't dig Surround (allegedly) the late, great (fabulous!! ) Phil Ramone pitched a 5.1 of "Graceland" to him (allegedly) and got knocked back (allegedly)

I had the pleasure(?) of meeting Mr. Simon a couple of times when I was at WB.
Let’s just say he tested the old adage “Trust the Art, not the Artist”
No questioning his brilliance though

isn't it fascinating how someone so gifted, whether his work is one's cup of tea or not, an undeniably talented man, who's work has brought such joy to millions the world over (for me his best work is among the finest Popular Music that era ever produced) ... can be such a.. well, not to put too fine a point on it.. jerk!!!

 

[OldAsMono]

Pleaseeeeee.... Spirit earlier albums. Randy's later stuff is very good but not quite the material for Atmos in my opinion.

 

[DrKlahn]

Off the top of my head (lots of good suggestions already):

ELO
Airbag

I'd also like Steven Wilson to release all of the older PT and his older solo works in Atmos.

Pink Floyd: Meddle, WYWH, The Wall, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, The Division Bell, Endless River in Atmos. I'd also like Obscured by Clouds.

David Gilmour: On An Island, Rattle that Lock, and Live in Gdansk 4k and Atmos (a CRIME this was never releases on media other than DVD)

 

[Bearcat_Sandor]

I would love to have Sleep Token's discography in higher order binaural ambionics, at least 5th order please. I'll take it in Atmos, i guess.

 

[HenkG]

To name a few still high in the dreamlist:

Exit North
David Sylvian
Talk Talk
Blue Nile
Grice
Dead Can Dance
No-Man

I don’t think he was one of Art Garfunkel’s best friends, either.

THE 12 DREAMS OF DR. SARDONICUS would be awesome in Atmos! Curved Air's first few albums -- the first is
really trippy -- would be great as well.

 

[mandrix]

Oh yeah. Done right, 12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus I think would be mind blowing. It's a very easy album to upmix, BTW. the panning is all over the place.

 

[SomethingAnything]

I would adore the Sensational Alex Harvey Band albums in Atmos. Oh wow.

 

[Willie Wilson]

I would adore the Sensational Alex Harvey Band albums in Atmos. Oh wow.

To hear Next or the Impossible Dream in surround/Atmos is my dream!

 

[Clement]

To hear Next or the Impossible Dream in surround/Atmos is my dream!

Here's hoping it's a Possible Dream! Stay Surrounded, Comrade!

 

[sebbykin]

To hear Next or the Impossible Dream in surround/Atmos is my dream!

Tomorrow Belongs To Me (Live) is mine. In fact the SAHB Live album would be cool

 

[SomethingAnything]

Yes, to all of the Alex Harvey suggestions. I also love SAHB Stories. I remember as a kid it took a little while to grow on me, but grow it did. Imagine Dogs of War in Atmos!

 

[Horbus]

How about Mike Oldfield "Amarok"? Would sound great in Atmos!
