Listening to in Dolby Atmos Streaming, via Tidal/Apple/Amazon

[Ephi82]

(pretty sure its an upmix fwiw)

This album is not in ATMOS as far as I can see and hear. What am I missing?

A very interesting mix, puts you in the audience but maybe at the edge of the stage, with Atmos being used to great affect to create areas that occupies a whole defined space for each musician. Worth a listen.

I'm liking this immediately. From the first track: violin in the center channel (with reverb in the rear overheads), piano front right, bandoneon front left, bass rear left, guitar rear right. Drums (mainly brushes) in stereo across the fronts, doubled at lower volume in the front overheads. Piano seems to spread across right front & rear on some tracks. Feels like you're live in studio with the ensemble. Much different--and much more favorable--impression than another listener had of the Blu-Ray. I don't know if my enthusiasm is great enough to spend 34 bucks on it, but it might be.

Some of last week's more notable classical titles, IMO. First, two upgraded legacy releases from Deutsche Grammophon:

(Weirdly, each track on the Mahler appears twice. Somebody's upload-bot goofed. Also, a slight correction: I thought the Schumann set was a reissue of Barenboim's 20-year-old cycle with the same ensemble. Not so--these recordings were actually completed just last year.) I used to complain about DG wasting our Atmos time with faint hall ambience in the rears and heights. No more: they've changed their ways, and for months now their releases have consistently made much fuller use of all channels.

Also: The Cleveland Orchestra and the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra join the National Symphony and a half dozen others in recording the works of 20th-century Black American composers Florence Price and George Walker:

(The Walker was marred by the same misbehaving upload-bot as the Mahler, above.) Naxos and Cleveland's Atmos mixing styles are also both fairly immersive, in different ways. Cleveland's is probably the most fronts-centric of the bunch.

Strange. Kiko and the Lavender Moon was Atmos for me yesterday, but today, it's back to stereo.

If @fredblue thinks it sounds like an upmix, they give up and take it down.
With any luck, for a do-over.

they got that right! (bloody well right!)

The only Kiko and The Lavender Moon I've ever found in Atmos was the track on their Another Band from E. LA compliation i referenced ealier, not the main Kiko album. And yes, it sounds like a Warner upmix.

And now, nobody who hasn't heard it can form an opinion, because that was the first place I checked and it's gone from there, also.

Still a great album in stereo, upmix it any way you are able or wish to, you won't be the loser by it.
Maybe this is a conspiracy to sell more Surround Masters.

The late EoH (Eye of Horus) did a great upmix of that album, in fact. Hopefully it gets a thoughtful immersive mix from multitracks one day. Good Morning, Aztlan and/or The Town and the City would be good ones, too. . . .

Where’s Supertramp?

 

[JCDC]

Clutch - Spacegrass
Just this one track. OK mix, kinda lo-fi SQ, but I need more of these! And thank you, Spatial Audio Finder.

Oh man! One of my favourite Clutch songs

Is Bad Religion Stranger Than Fiction in Atmos? I saw it mentioned somewhere else. I don't see it on Tidal.

In Atmos on Apple Music.

 

[Misterbee]

Where’s Supertramp?

At each other’s throats, perhaps? I have this fantasy that Ken Scott will get it all sorted.

This one is even better:

Only Lossless in US

 

[popshop]

Weird that this is on the featured album section of Apple, but the album doesn't come out for three weeks. Hmmm?
