Thanks, some of them I didn't know. I do have the Harvest but would like an Atmos Mix. Also I have the Kraftwerk Box but this is live not studio.
Since I don't have a vinyl quadro equipment I am looking for Blu Rays, DVD-A or SACD and if possible as stand alone ones and not part of huge bundles.
Well just a dream!!
 
s mentioned in a similar thread but with some additions:
So, comments on some titles below:
The Alan Parsons Project - I Robot *** Parsons has said this will happen
Tangerine Dream - any *** there are a few from a box set
Pink Floyd - Meddle!!! *** easter egg in massive box set
Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene *** DVD dts if I recall correctly
Genesis - first albums till Lamb lies down on Broadway *** all done on SACD and DVD years back 2009 ish.
Neil Young - Harvest *** on DVD-A and now streaming in Atmos.
 
As I wait for my copy of Quadio Paranoid, I would love Never Say Die in Dolby Atmos or 5.1. It's the album that got me into Black Sabbath and still my favorite. Junior's Eyes is such a cool tune.
 
Alphabetically reading from my Penteo Upmix folder, here's a few:

Joan Armatrading - Walk Under Ladders
Beck - Morning Phase
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Days Between Stations - In Extremis
Dregs - Dregs Of the Earth
Happy The Man - Crafty Hands
Jellyfish - Spilt Milk
Kayak - Royal Ben Bouncer
Levin, Minneman, Rudess - From the Law Offices Of
Love - Forever Changes
Mallard - In A Different Climate
Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Watch
Michael Rutherford - Smallcreep's Day
Strawbs - Hero & Heroine
Sylvian-Fripp - The First Day
Tool - Aenima
Edgar Winter - Entrance
Stevie Wonder - Innervisions

Love - Forever Changes
This one did, very briefly, get a faux Atmos mix courtesy of the Warner Upmix Department, but has been pulled. Oddly, one or two songs stuck around for a while but I just checked and they're all gone.

Warner's been putting out real mixes of some of those fake mixes... I wouldn't be shocked if a proper mix shows up sooner or later

Forever Changes has been an odd one; rumor was that this album was an early on WEA choice for their 1973 entry into quad. Then it was suggested that the Alternate Mix (CD #3 in the 50th Anniversary set) was the quad mix folded down. This story was also dispelled. Kind of a niche album to hope for. I do have a personal upmix that turned out great so I'll get by with that until a miracle happens.
 
Chaka Khan- Warners Anthology or her individual albums for that label
The Doobie Brothers- Living On A Fault Line, Minute By Minute & One Step Closer
Bruce Hornsby & The Range- The Way It Is
Manhattan Transfer???
Carly Simon-Spy
Jean-Luc Ponty- Atlantic Anthology
Beck - Midnight Vultures
And lastly... more funk and R&B which there's just not much of in multichannel releases
 
A couple from Mike Oldfield:

Amarok
Incantations (this came tantalizingly close to become reality, but apparently master tapes were too ruined to do anything but a handful of passages of the whole album)

The whole Dead Can Dance discography.
 
Here's my wishlist:

a-ha: Hunting High And Low, Scoundrel Days and Stay On These Roads.
Jeff Wayne's The War Of The Worlds would sound great on blu-ray. As of now, the 5.1 is only available on SACD.
ABBA: All albums.
Michael Jackson: Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad, Dangerous and HIStory.
I read somewhere that three surroundmixes were created for Thriller, but MJ didn't like them so they were never released.
Bon Jovi: New Jersey. This album would sound great in surround! :)
Def Leppard: Hysteria. Incredible album.
Prince: Sign Of The Times
Bruce Springsteen: Born In The U.S.A.
Culture Club: Kissing To Be Clever. Their first and best album.
Pink Floyd: Meddle and The Wall.
Enya. Can you even imagine her music in surround? It must sound like heaven...
Twisted Sister: Come Out And Play. Not their mosy successful album, but really great and would sound incredible in surround.
Madonna: All her albums. Especially Ray Of Light.

It was? I thought the quad mixes reel of FC was located a long while back in the garage of the engineer who mixed it when his estate cleared out the clutter and now someone owns it privately. And that yes it may have been used as a fold for alt mixes? All dispelled? Or simply denied for the sake of cooling off the controversy? Interesting that you got the real story, I think maybe.
