I couldn’t get away fast enough from Poison Arrow when it was on MTV all the time. But just listened to that song and the mix is very enjoyable. Got this bookmarked to listen to all the way through later.
It’s awesome, it’s funny how the albums that are not marked Dolby atoms but the individual tracks are in Dolby Atmos are the best.

An album will not be marked as Dolby Atmos unless ALL the tracks are in Dolby Atmos.

In this case, the "bonus track" "Theme from "Mantrap"" is not in Dolby Atmos which is why the album does not get the tag.

I wish The National's latest album would turn up on Todal too!

Also, cheers to everyone who chips in on this thread. It is magnificent!
Since these are Warner label releases, are they legitimate Atmos mixes or more WEA crap? I won’t have a chance to properly listen for a few days.

Oh man!! Same here. You leave the house for a couple of days and BAM, ABC and Matchbox 20?!? That's major. I hope and pray for good mixes on these MB20 albums, I love them all.

Quick listen.

They seem a really good Atmos mix. Immersive and discrete for some sounds/chorus, without ping-pong but discrete enough.
Big use of wides, rears (althoughg mainly sides), and Tops (9.1.4)

Some discrepancy in "Dialnorm" between songs. First songs of "More Than You Think You Are", "North" are 13dB down (dialnorm: -18) and they look only "stereo", but Atmos if you increase a lot Master Volume. While others are at the norm, so not volume reduced (-31dB). ... Careful... Reduce again the Master Volume.

"Where The Light Goes" is not available in Spain. Only track "09 - Dont Get Me Wrong"

Yeah I only see tracks 2 and 9, too. Album comes out on the 26th, so I guess that's why :-D

Listening to Matchbox 20's albums. They sound good, not SW like, but they aint bad!
 
Nice lists, but as our taste are different there are too many songs I don't care for. I don't make lists anymore, listens to whole albums and some single tracks. The only list I listen too is the Favourites Mix list Apple Music provides me with, a new list every Tuesday. Consists of songs I've listened to in my time with them, both recently and earlier. :cool:
 
I am really enjoying the atmos mix of Daft Punk's Random Access Memories. Great remix of a great album. As always a lot of fun to listen to a well known album in a new way. Hard to tell which song I like best in atmos, but 'Touch' really shines IMO. It is a strange song. Almost a small symphony with it's separate parts combining elements from electronica, ragtime, dixieland, dance, choir, symphonic elements, an almost "A Day In The Life" build up and of course Paul Williams' great vocal. While you have a listen to the great mix you may enjoy som relevant reading as well:

Some background on Paul Williams from L.A.Times:

Here is an interview with Mick Guzauski on his work with recording and mixing the original stereo version:

I haven't seen any credits for the atmos mix engineer yet, but @sjcorne is suggesting it might be Guzauski in his article at IAA:
