Revisiting this classic... Now this is what I call Atmos!

Wow, what an awesome sounding mix on Apple. Not only the Atmos but one of the few Temptation album mixes that sound smooth and mostly without any bite or glare.

Dang my demented senior brain.

Thanks friend.

Who else has been waiting for more Dire Straits in surround for the last 17 years?

Here's the "Money for Nothing" compilation.

Listening as I type, but only 1 song in so far. SOS sounds good, could be more active perhaps? We'll see!

"Love over Gold" next!!!

I listened to a couple of tracks. I wasn't overly impressed. It was pretty ambient really.

i only gave it one quick run-through as not feeling too well atm but struck me as not in the same league as the old 5.1 and tbh it smacked of Warner's fake upmix BS..

yep!

It doesn’t appear to be an upmix, but rather an uninspired and tame mix. The bar was set so high by the 5.1 mix of Brothers In Arms (which remains demo quality).

it doesn't have the trademark Warner fake mixes' lead vocals everywhere all at once (like 5 pairs of channels of essentially the same contents only with some pairs at lower level or reverbed compared to the Front L&R!) but its really underwhelming if genuine..

Yes, I suspect neither Mark Knopfler nor Chuck Ainlay were involved with this Atmos compilation.

I didn't bother trying any of the tracks from Brothers in Arms. But you'd think those might fare pretty well considering they had a great 5.1 to start with.

Tracks from the debut album and Making Movies is what I was after. They were nothing to get excited about. Maybe more ambient. Maybe a bit less detailed than well mastered stereo.

A really cool chilled album with an amazing Atmos mix to go with it. Immersive mix credited to Mert Ozcan who did some of the St Vincent stuff. Just great to listen to...

Two from Billy Squier's Don't Say No

Those were Silverline Awful on my system.

Some of the stuff on the Stroke was cool but they lack the punch of the original stereo, the drums sound especially weak!

Hmm.. Haven't listened yet going to be hard to stay under 100K songs in Apple Library if all the live Dead starts coming out in Atmos ;-)

Wow! I guess my dreams that the “main” live albums were part of the “core” Grateful Dead catalogue that Steven Wilson was doing came true!

Edit: now I need to hope for something obscure from the catalogue, perhaps the John Oswald “plunderphonic” album, Grayfolded, stitching together a bunch of Dark Stars into 1 two hour long monster jam

Huh! I wonder if this is a prelude, between this and the Mercedes Benz, that Apple might somehow deliver surround through CarPlay
