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

Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
I had the same brief moment of excitement followed by the disappointment in finding that it's only first track in Atmos.
I'd love for this to get a full release in Atmos.
Anyone hope/think that ATMOS may be a fad, but 5.1/7.1 will get a substantial re boot because of the increased exposure from the marketing of “ spatial audio”Yeah, but Clearmountain or otherwise, I want someone who both knows his/her way around an Atmos console, and is passionate about the dimensional possibilities. Too many Atmos mixes, so far, are not something I'd be proud of. And then some.......masterpieces in their portfolio.
I’ve heard some really good ATMOS, but I think overall my collection of 5.1 stuff is meatier and more musical?
Not going to go there…..don’t want to ruin the illusion that streaming surround music is great and then “ have to” get up off my ass and put a SACD on!
No way, Atmos’ binaural render capability affords it much wider audience than prior multichannel formats.
From the point of view of us fans, though, the labels are missing an opportunity to put their old, OOP 5.1 mixes back in circulation by rebranding them as "Spatial Audio." I doubt most streaming customers could tell the difference between many Atmos mixes and a 5.1 or 7.1 mix, anyway--especially those that put little or nothing up top to begin with.
ok, I’ll be happy if the current crop of ATMOS mixers put together on average better mixes. It’s a new thing, perhaps it’s going to take time.
I wonder if part of the problem lies with the compulsion to create lots of musical objects as the goal ( to show off how cool ATMOS is) vs coming up with a mix that really supports the music?
That's a sweet album by a talented young singer-songwriter. Thanks for the alert. (And welcome to QQ!)
ok try this one, not bad

Orbital's new album is now fully available in Norway. Still marked as preview in AM US. Guessing this will change soon.

My disc has been underway for a week, but the postal troubles in the UK are slowing it down.
Will listen to it on Apple Music tonight.Bay the way, have you been able to listen to the Roxy Music greatest hits? I can't seem to add it.

I really enjoyed this new release with four songs added to my playlist.
A warning. Not for late night listening as your neighbors will despise you.
Apple Music narrative sums it up best:
“Skrillex’s fondness for bass is well-represented: Virtually every track is flooded with voluminous low-end frequencies, typically in the form of stonking FM patches that glisten like oil slicks. “
My fav’s:
Being a lover of bass myself- I haven’t enjoyed an album so much since The Prodigy in the 90’s.

Gotta give a shout out to this album:
Wasn’t expecting to like it and…. well….. I did.
Those put off by the Country-tag don’t be as in typical Shania style it sounds nothing like it. Great mix too.

Dolby, Apple and Sony are pouring big money into Immersive Surround - Atmos, Spatial Audio, 360 - and not really for us:

A thought for the fuddy duddies, or anyone who is passing on new music. I have found that the deeper I dig, there is plenty of new music that is incredible to my ears. I am thinking of newer artists, not just silver haired bands that are releasing new material. It all started when I began listening to Radio Paradise, which has a pretty eclectic mix of old, new, and everything in between. My personal favorite label is MoonJune Records at this point, as I am a big fusion and progressive rock fan.
Now, as a side note, I just want to mention that I went to see Christopher Cross last fall with my friend who loves that song "Sailing" - I didn't expect much, however it was one of the best pop music shows I have ever seen. It gave me a new appreciation for those pasty pop songs, specifically when I realized that he has a lot in common with the pop edge of the Alan Parsons sound.
Really, what I am trying to say, is giving new music a chance to settle in can be worth ones time!

Nope. Getting the same as you. Songs greyed with an option to buy for NOK 109 (approx. £10/$10), but the link doesn't lead anywhere. Makes me wonder. Are we (in AM Norway) seeing something we shouldn't have? Are Apple planning to sell the Atmos titles at a later stage? Hope not!My disc has been underway for a week, but the postal troubles in the UK are slowing it down.

I got it from Tidal, but haven't had the time to sit down and listen yet.
hear hear!!
well said 
giving a chance to new music, taking a chance on new artists, taking a risk on new genres, ploughing time and resources on new formats, exploring singers in new languages even, giving it all a chance has typified my entire Surround Music listening experience from Quad to Atmos and the chance-taking shows no signs of abating now!!
i wanna swing from the Chandelier..!! from the CHAN-DE-LEEEEEEERRR!!!!
yep, live Life in Surround folks like the good Baggster says
