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

This in my opinion is the best ‘One Mix’ released in the series so far:

the Blu-Ray Audio completely blew the streaming mix out of the water

That's too bad.. Thankfully for me the Atmos mixes sound outstanding on my setup. Every Petty Atmos mix sounds great on my system, as does the 5.1 Petty Blu-rays.

I'd say the Damn The Torpedoes Atmos tracks on the Greatest Hits compilation blow away the prior 5.1 versions, the use of the extra speakers is so much more creative and interesting. On all the Petty Atmos stuff, I can't really hear the data compression artifacts unless I solo the height channels.

Willie Nelson's "A Beautiful Time" album. Great music and very well done surround.

One of my underrated favorites.

I think somebody checked these albums in passing a couple of weeks ago, but the classical-curious (especially those curious about contemporary "classical" music) might want to take special note, if they haven't already. Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir has generated a lot of buzz over the past decade or so, and Phil Freeman, who writes mainly about jazz and experimental music, devoted his latest Burning Ambulance Substack post to her:

Thorvaldsdottir’s music is likely not what the average person thinks of when they hear the phrase “classical music.” However, its atmosphere and tonalities are likely to appeal quite strongly to fans of forbidding music of any genre (dark ambient, industrial, noise, post-metal). With a quality sound system and proper lighting design, the music on Aerial could turn a concert hall into a deeply unsettling place, one filled with listeners under 60. On the other hand, In the Light of Air, while it retains the emotional intensity of the shorter pieces, adds enough brightness and positivity to demonstrate the vastness of Thorvaldsdottir’s compositional imagination and sonic universe.

Luckily, Thorsvaldsdottir's music has also been superbly recorded--and mixed for Atmos--by Daniel Shores and his Sono Luminus label. Most of it has been released on Blu-Ray, but lately at least a few of the Atmos mixes have also made their way to Apple Music, including these:

I'm not seeing the Atmospheriques Vol. I in atmos? My impression was that ARCHORA / AIŌN was the first Sono Luminus release in atmos on Apple Music. I hope there are more to follow.

You could be right about that! I'll double check.

Rival Sons - Darkfighter
Three tracks so far. Not bad given the nature of the material. Still waiting to be immersed into a perfect hard rock mix here.

Thanks for this, will check it out tonight. They're playing at the local Malakoff festival this summer, maybe I'll go to see them.

Caught them years ago in a tiny tiny club, guess it was a last minute arrangement - basicaly felt as a public rehearsal, one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

sounds kinda bright but wow they certainly used all channels here - including the Heights for Love Unlimited's unmistakable backing vocals and some nifty keyboard work - extensively and to great effect!

for me Barry was (still is!) a musical genius my Dad absolutely loved him and introduced me to him as a little kid, i was hooked on his music from word go and Gene Page's sumptuous arrangements i found captivating even when i was only knee high to a chicklet

so so happy to hear his debut record getting a new lease on life in Surround and in such spectacular fashion hopefully they do all his 70's Classics in Atmos, plenty more gems where this came from

Has good old Bazzer ever sounded any better?

The Walrus of Love, knew how to get the ladies going.

My girlfriend, at the time, was absolutely besotted with him!!

Many happy Fridays/Saturdays dancing at the Under25 Club!!

Circa 1975/76

A fine set of ears you have Woody
This is very good

 

[beerking]

2 Songs in Atmos, although more a good 5.1 to my ears. Liking the music though.

Tracks 6 and 9

Based on previous comments; this is a Giles Martin mix
