In NYC to see Phish (my Phirst shows!) so basing this off of an AirPod Max listen… pretty good remix/alt version from Jessie Ware’s latest album with Rósin Murphy
One of the best mixes released recently, no doubt. And the album is really very good! I know many of the songs but never listened to this properly as an album. That's going to change now.
Bit of Bruce to Luminate your life
hmm.. not bad.. a bit flat maybe? (i had just been listening to some great examples of Atmos tbf) it's Surround-y.. but kinda sound-effect-y Surround-y more so than musically Surround-y?
the whole album was made for Surround fabulousness imho
so.. let's be 'avin' it! 
includes some newly mixed Atmos tracks not on the original albums
The Final has the 100% better Last Christmas (Pudding Mix) and Careless Whisper without the long intro.
think some newly mixed Atmos tracks not on the original albums

Just wish the mixes were a bit more adventurous. For the love of god, why aren't the jingle bells in the rears?!
Still, all of this music is such a joy, and his talent boggles the mind.
EDIT: Seems like the mixes are better on the singles album. Both Last Christmas and Everything She Wants sound way better and there's a lot more happening all around.

Siri with Apple Music on Apple TV drives me nuts sometimes. I kept saying “A Bad Think” to call these up and Apple, in its infinite wisdom, kept correcting to “A Bad Thing” because it just couldn’t accept that the words “bad” and “think” back-to-back made any sense. Certainly I was too stupid and needed help.
Tons of over-pronunciation to get it to understand the word “think” after “bad” left me terrified of the eventual day AI firmly takes over the world.
After spending way more time than I should have (and more time than it would have taken to just type the bloody words in manually) I said, “Think” (long pause) “A Bad”. That got me to where I needed to be.
Sure, it was victory today, but one day
(And for a really frustrating experience, tell Siri you want to listen to The Hu, the Mongolian band. Ugh.)
But I digress... listening to X now.

Some of the tracks on The Final are not exact versions of their original album counterparts. For example, Everything She Wants is a remix.
There is also this comp now in Atmos:
Wouldn't mind if Paul Hicks did the complete back catalogue of Billy Idol. He does great work. Haven't listened yet since I'm on vacation. Finally made my way to Liverpool. The Cavern Club tonight. Tribute band to the Beatles are playing. Great musicians. Really enjoyable. Just had to let you know.
General observations:
- Agree on the Sheryl Crow - I think the Tuesday Night Music Club album atmos is excellent. I have a positive impression of all Sheryl Crow surround/immersive recordings - and note Sheryl - Music From The Feature Documentary in atmos. It certainly has made me pay more attention to Sheryl Crow.
- So far so good for the Neil Young on my end - Comes A Time and After The Gold Rush albums played so far. Certainly the recordings are coming across better than the old Harvest DVDA. I am sure glad Mr Young let this content make it's way onto Tidal.
- Re: A Bad Think - recommended here; there is something about the mood and themes with which I resonate these days. A Bad Think also released a new album Friday - Short Street - which I just listened to in full quality atmos - first impressions favourable (especially the single Hammer and the Plow) Short St. | IAA

Is Harvest Atmos mix available on Tidal in AU? It isn’t in the USA which is disappointing after today’s release of the other Atmos mixes.
Re: Harvest. No to Tidal Atmos; but yes to Amazon Atmos. Amazon is yet to get the other recent releases in Atmos that Tidal just received, though!
Re. Wham, I've owned Make it Big and The Final since some time in the mid-90s. True, The Final offered a bunch of extra value by including some longer versions and remixes.
The surround mix of Make it Big is a freaking revelation. For instance, Credit Card Baby. The double/overlaid vocals about three quarters through are spread across different speakers and it's SUCH a joy!! Never heard them so clearly. And this goes for the rest of the album too. Yeah, some odd mixing decisions here and there (agree, why no horns in the back on Freedom?), but overall, this is a ton of fun.
Quick PSA: Freedom on Make it Big is the longer 5:19 minute version on Apple while TIDAL has the original 5:02ish album version. The 5:19 minute version is the same as on The Final with a longer fade-out. Inexplicably, Freedom also sounds much better on Apple than TIDAL. On TIDAL, it's jarring listening through the whole album and all of a sudden, threre's this noticeable drop in sound quality when you get to Freedom. Much less bass. Curious.
Adding The Final and The Singles to my playlist for today. Damn this is a good time to be alive.
So we're only missing the Edge thingy album now, right?

The ‘Freedom’ version on ‘The Final’ I find a far superior version- so has all worked out very well. Overall I agree that these sound very good.
