Is anyone else who frequents the Apple Music Spatial Audio page praying for new Dance releases so that the Happy Machine cover will go away? It seriously freaks me out.
The dance section seems completely forgotten about, especially since there have been a few dance releases that don’t get out in there. And the Kraftwerk release highlighted there isn’t even Atmos!

I don’t know if this album is available on Apple Music: Zhu, Dreamland 2021. If yes, it is worth a listen for the dance genre. Try ‘Sky is Crying’ with some nice moments towards the middle and the end of the song, all speakers are active.
 

A quiet storm pans around the room from the opening seconds...
Double-wow from here!

Though the title of Smokey Robinson’s 1975 solo LP would later be used to identify a certain genre of urban Adult Contemporary music,
A Quiet Storm stands alone as a great work.
The album is Robinson’s rejoinder to the burgeoning Philly soul movement, which had come to dominate the R &B scene in the first half of the '70s. While producers Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff had originally modeled their productions on the fragile elegance of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, here Robinson repossesses their recipe and adds to it.
The title song is the very essence of gentleness and smoothness, but despite its celestial atmosphere the album is anything but fluffy.
You can hear Smokey’s years of experience blossoming here.
He could create a song for any occasion.
The beautiful slow dance “Wedding Song” was written for the marriage of Jermaine Jackson and Hazel Gordy, while “Happy” is the love theme to Lady Sings the Blues.
Even when the rhythms pick up, in “Love Letters” and “Coincidentally,” there is nary a sharp edge.
At a time when R &B was aiming to punch, Smokey wished only to caress.

its a beautiful album and the Atmos is superb, for me its never sounded better and the Surround is divine 🥰
 

Thanks, and please keep these coming!
Though they all might not be to my taste, I need to branch out of my 60s-70s rut.

Love the Hope Sandoval track, what a voice!
Can't believe it's 32 years since I first heard Mazzy Star.
Added to an Atmos singles playlist, the atmos American Honey title track too country for my taste.

Reminded me I've never seen the film, now on watchlist as most of the locations are familiar to me.
Well remember gangs of "college students on summer break" blanketing neighborhoods knocking on every door.
