It's happened!

Interview with The Guardian says:

And predictably, on social media, someone uses that very quote as an opportunity for a gratuitous slag against Atmos:

I almost can't believe that such lazy zombie dismissals are still shambling witlessly across the landscape in this day and age. And from someone representing a site (A Closer Listen) devoted to reviewing instrumental ambient, electronic, experimental, modern composition, and "soundscape" musics, yet--among the genres best suited to immersive mixing. Talk about malice aforethought. You'd think they'd be curious enough to listen with open ears; seek out some artists, mixers, fans and listeners who actually do "care about Atmos"; and weigh some of the technological, aesthetic, and commercial nuances of the issue, rather than indulge their knee-jerk "feelings" that Atmos (and, for that matter, quad) is merely another cynical commercial gimmick that no one asked for. Even one ostensible defender resorts to the old "two ears = two channels" canard.

The only social media I've got is QQ. And I like it that way.

I listened to Volta and Drawing Restraint 9. My expectations were high and I wasn't disappointed.

 

[PurpleMoustache]

Oddly, all but DR9 are showing up on my end, and internationally all but Utopia are showing up. Hopefully everything gets sorted out

All studio albums appear in Atmos in Spain. Now I need to find some time to listen
