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

Er: Audio not Atmos!

Correct not Atmos but Dolby surround but sounds much better than the majority of Atmos releases

This album is actually available on pure audio blu ray if you're interested which also includes some cool visuals to go with the music.

That sentence might have just cost me some money. Bookmarked it on the Pure Audio site so I can look at it when I have more time next week.

Thanks so much for all the electronic Atmos recommendations. Max Cooper's Unspoken Words, though, is special! Wow. Bluray on its way! Thanks!

Don't know anything about this long-lived Canadian country rock band--but I aim to find out:

An SDE box set of Bacharach & Costello is coming out on UMe in early March; the streaming version will include an Atmos mix of 1998's Painted from Memory. (All they're giving us so far is a couple of non-Atmos live tracks.)

It really is a special release! So glad that others have discovered it too. One of his previous albums "Emergence" was also released on pure audio blu ray but unfortunately seems to be sold out. Luckily I managed to grab a copy though.

For a second I confused the band name with Animal Collective, a group I've been meaning to check out ever since Amanda Petrusich wrote about them in The New Yorker last year. I bet their stuff could sound good in Atmos, too...

Try the Panda Bear / Sonic Boom album meanwhile, it has lots of the Animal Collective vibe and is Atmos

It's actually a old quad release.

Recent discovery I’ve been meaning to post about: some of Apple Music’s more specialized mood playlists are starting to get more and more Atmos tracks. However, these are not artists you’ve likely heard of, these are artists who’s whole thing is making “playlist fodder” music, hitting a specific vibe/tone. Also not every track is Atmos. I’m certain more playlists are like this, but these are the two I’ve stumbled upon

I tend to put one of these playlists on when I read before bed, it’s been nice getting some Atmos action while I wind down. I was reminded about it when I saw these two new Mamoosh (of Jazzmachine) releases in the Hip Hop Carousel in Spatial Audio, as they tend to hit that ”vibe” the first playlist is going for.

Such an amazing release. Played it to some friends and they were having a meltdown - “This isn’t even music!” Haha

This is a quad release in an Atmos container, isn't it?

Thats right.

@kamranv told us that he used the Atmos posibilities of Tidal to release in streaming the Quad mix. No other way to release in streaming multichannel at that time.

Then someone said in this thread that what a waste of Atmos channels.... only 4 of them are used... and then some discussion
Atmos release of Suzanne Ciani - LIVE Quadraphonic

I tested a lot this quad mix using upmixers to extend the Quad to more speakers and the result was worse. The quick progression of the swirling sounds around the room are best experienced with just Quad.

Nothing for me then, I want all my channels active.

I don't know if anyone mentioned Mirage by Fleetwood Mac . (At this point, there are 251 pages to this thread.) Found the Atmos Mix on Apple Music. It sounds great.

You miss it, but in my opinion the most important thing is if you like the music style
