That's rather weird... anyway, this time I made sure to flip through all the songs and check if my Denon "sees" the Atmos codec...only showing up as Lossless Stereo here in Blighty..
Listening to in Dolby Atmos Streaming, via Tidal/Apple/Amazon

i trust ya mate
just sayin' as i sees it for the time bein', i'm sure it'll appear in Shmatmos here in the UK sometime soon
Between Gotan Project and the recent Jarre release, I wonder if there’s a push somewhere (Apple, or Dolby, who knows) to put out existing 5.1’s in an Atmos wrapper
anything that saves having to reach for the shelves Many 5.1 and quad mixes have been released on Apple in the 5.1 "Dolby Audio" format (there is a thread for that). May not have the same caché as Dolby Atmos but definitely a well supported way to release existing 5.1 mixes without muddying the water putting them in an Atmos wrapper with unused channels/objects.
It’s a good incentive to get older albums heard more, especially if it’s featured on the Spatial Audio page.
i agree!
..and besides it's not like using the Height channels matters much since the Atmos of Dark Side Of The Moon barely uses them and everybody seemingly loves it!
(tongue firmly planted in cheek of course
)
I think it's hard to say that the Atmos of Dark Side Of The Moon barely uses the heights, it's quite prominent on some tracks like On the Run. I have LED meters that shows the activity in the heights and SB speakers and there's height output to a varying degree in all tracks. At least a lot more than in the quad.i agree!

Ellie Golding has a new album out. I believe it is her first in atmos. I like her voice a lot, but after the first run through I am not sure about all of these songs. Seems to be a mixed bag. Immersive mix by John Hanes. Wouldn't mind having Halcyon Days in atmos one day.

Not all of these are in Atmos, but I’ve found a treasure trove of nature sounds under the Sleep “mood” in Apple Music. A good number of them are in Atmos:
What a beautiful album
Pat Metheny's forthcoming album will be available in Atmos. It's a guitar-only album so not expecting too much from the mix.
just saying "well Quad doesn't have any Height channels! so there!"I think it's hard to say that the Atmos of Dark Side Of The Moon barely uses the heights, it's quite prominent on some tracks like On the Run.

is frankly a rather childish stick to beat Quad with and such a non-argument, honestly i'm kinda disappointed at such a base level of discussion, i'd have thought we were beyond that here!? 
this is QuadraphonicQuad after all and without Quad there'd be no Atmos.
the format, the channel configuration, isn't the issue here, it's how the channels are used. i expect an Atmos mix to be more intricate and sophisticated than an old Quad by virtue of all the extra channels and so Surround sound opportunities available to the modern day mixer.
ultimately, i'm not budging on this, the Heights on the Atmos of DSOTM are barely used and when they are it's for sound effects, the spoken word soundbites and some synth parts.
to me that's woefully lacking and ordinarily many here would berate an Atmos mix for doing so.. but it's "Dark Side Of The (Bloody!) Moon" so it get's a free pass somehow!
ahh.. never mind, let's move on and stay cordial there's only so many hours in the day and i need more coffee before i have to fight to the death to defend the stunning legacy of Quad!
Each one of us has his own favorites.
It‘s good that we have different opinions.
We have the choice. Good!
Sometimes I think some uf us have to „defense“ paying big bucks they pay for a release. And they tell that it is great.
But this is also ok.

I'll give you peace, I blame it on beer and booze, and I'll admit that the Alan Parsons quad mix is quite good.just saying "well Quad doesn't have any Height channels! so there!"

They must be joking me! With all the great Metheny albums out there (thinking with Mays and percussionists etc.) they go with a solo guitar performance
Not typically my genre, but it features "The Steve Martin" so can't resist...
Not on Tidal yet. :-(Full album now
