Hey @scooob: I wrote to Wilco HQ and was told that the entire album has been mixed for Atmos by Battery Studios, with Tom Schick overseeing. (Sony, for some reason, is handling the upload to Apple Music. They're doing distribution for Wilco's label dBpm, I guess? Or is it just that Sony owns Battery?) I suspect we'll see the entire album on or around its release date. They dodged my question about whether we could expect to see a physical release.
You're not missing much... on my 5.1 system, it's nothing but very weak ambience in the center and rears. Unless there's a lot of content in the heights and sides, which seems unlikely, it's an extremely disappointing mix, even by live album standards.can't see the Atmos rendering on Apple Music UK yet
Indeed right when the pre chorus starts at :44 there's some glitch happening.
The sides were getting heavier use than the rears on the tracks I've listened thus far - the sax solo towards the end of "The Heart Of Rock 'n' Roll" was almost entirely isolated in the right side speaker. The 'flyover' intro to that track made fun use of the heights, but I didn't notice much up there after that. Bass guitar, kick drum, lead vocal, and a good bit of lead guitar almost 100% in the center speaker, in typical Clearmountain fashion.
The whole album is now available in Atmos.
Thank God for streaming I say!
This version is available here in Norway too.comes under a different release here in the UK for some reason? 30th Anniversary edition
tracks 1-9 in Atmos:
The other version was not.
Who's Next, I am going to resist, and mine isn't released until Sept 27th from Japan as I bundled with some other releases. Shoot, but I also have signs of weakness, but so far, no listen.
Oh, you're right, it's only 9 songs available in Atmos previously, my bad...
Me too. Really well suited for Atmos. The mix sounds great; would love to know who did it.
