Reminds me of the Bone Fone from the late 1970's! Seems like it was the prototype for this SONY Neckband Speaker.Yesterday I found this neckband on the Sony website Buy SRS-NS7 Wireless Neckband Speaker | Default Value | Sony Store Online | Sony UK
and wondered if any of my fellow QQ friends have any knowledge or experience of it's capability. On the one hand it looks very quirky but then again might be an amazing way to personalise Atmos. To be fair to Sony this does seem the result of 'thinking out of the box' and not for everyone! I definitely could not think of getting it without a demo but it might be brilliant whilst I work in my home office. Any (well...most) comments welcome.
Planning to check out The Church after recommendations from you and @sjcorne. Been looking forward to Gorillaz ever since the first single dropped last year. Here's a review of Cracker Island by Sasha Frere-Jones:

Thank you! Sorry/Not sorry that the ”only” things that will be new on this list for me are your own tracks. I’m super excited to check them out, thank you for sharing.

I may be high, but I'm loving this in Atmos! mindblowing. They remind me of Swans.

Crazy that he's already got another one already after A Beautiful Time; which as many of you know I absolutely LOVE.
So if this is as good as A Beautiful Time - hell yes!
Yeah, isn't it great! Had high expectations, but the album is even better than I hoped for. And what an excellent atmos mix! Very creative and playfull. Wonder how did it? No credits on Tidal. Well done by Steve Kilbey and the rest of the band! Who would have thought 35 years after Under the Milky Way they deliver one of the best rock albums so far this year.

Sounds good in 5.1 too. Really enjoying this one.
Thanks for the link - interesting background. I gather there is another non-Atmos neckband from Sony and one from Panasonic. Also found a couple of reviews which gave 3 of 5 stars. I am undecided on it but it is available from some stores so I might be able to demo it and then say "No!" or be very surprised. I'll update this post if and when I find out if it is the holy grail of personal Atmos!
Agree with that....I keep going back to A Beautiful Time....excellent.
It's a very good mix, but the the music is not entirely in my ally, but well worth a listen for the Atmos alone.Yeah, isn't it great!

I think I might found out who mixed it. According to the band's web site,
Home | The Church, the album is mixed by Darrel Thorp. No mentioning of another engineer for the immersive mix, but I can't see any reason why he didn't do the Atmos mix:

Another fun fact: He was assistant engineer on Beck's Sea Change. I am guessing he has heard Elliot Scheiner's 5.1 a few times. Not the worst reference.
I'd guess it was him, he mentioned mixing a Foo Fighters track in Atmos years ago:

Listening now to The Church-The Hypnogogue.
I like probably most only have The Church-Starfish in my collection.
This is real good. Great big sound. Atmos is powerful.
One small disappointment is vocals, seem a touch to recessed. There is no center channel action so vocals come via front left and right speakers.
I turned up both front and left 2db each and helped, a song like Track 3-I think I Knew when music goes quiet then no problem. Also reading lyrics as the song goes, without lyrics I would be straining to hear lyrics. Track 3-Flickering Lights vocals better again in the softer spots. Maybe I should finish the listen before commenting, but first Track 1 & Track 2 where hard for me, vocal wise.
But as streaming Atmos goes, really great!
EDIT: Finished complete listen and for the most part I do think the release benefited by the db levels being raised at front left and right, for vocals only. All systems are different, so this info likely just for me. Really good Atmos release, most importantly music and lyrics.
