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

Earlier today The Who posted the following on Facebook:

"This Friday The Who will be making a special announcement about two of their studio albums that were released in the month of October."

I figured it would just be some vinyl reissues. Maybe The Who By Numbers is the other album they were talking about. That was released in October 1975.

Jamie Cullum - Twentysomething.... One of my first SACDs

Tidal - https://listen.tidal.com/album/322974338

Atmos mix by Richard Whittaker

nice new find, Mr.S!

i used to rather enjoy that somewhat underrated SACD back in the day..

while the Heights are used more for vocal reinforcement and general ambience than whizzbang effects, that feels appropriate for such material to me and there are still cool little things happening up there (like the tinkly dinkly 'rain' effects briefly burbling about in "Singin' In The Rain").

interestingly, the Centre and Rears seem more discrete than i remember them being on the old SACD. i'll pull the ol' disc off the shelf over the weekend and give it a gander to make sure i'm not misremembering

ooh and there's 5 nice bonus tracks all in Atmos! the single of "Everlasting Love", "Frontin'" (which was in 5.1 on the old DVD-A DualDisc), "Can't We Be Friends", "High And Dry" & "God Only Knows"! almost none of that was ever in Surround on the old SACD or DVD-Audio DualDisc - woo!

Whoa, just found this release by the Who

Now road testing it

Edit....has this release sounded any better? I don't think so

Nah, not worth it. I'll just stick to the facts and enjoy it.

Facts are very important, without supporting evidence they don't exist (burden of proof fallacy).

Here's an objective measurement: on the left is the first verse and chorus from Leash, on the right is just the intro of W.M.A. before the song even reaches the levels the chorus hits. The difference is immediately obvious when switching between songs, and is very amateurish at best.

Well, Who By Numbers is the other album they were hinting at, but it will just be a vinyl reissue, coming in February.

Variety is the spice of life, from The Who to Icona Pop (nice mix)

 

[beerking]

Now looking for new music to relax to.

This one being a prime example...lovely release.

 

[beerking]

Really enjoying the mellow feel of Flyte and the mix compliments it as well.

Some Country music, from an artist that I know has an Dolby Atmos Studio. So this was made for Atmos, not done later.

Still going through Adams latest 'pick of the pops' ....Lovely voice, great tunes and a nice mix.
And it fits my chilling state.

 

[beerking]

We all need some fizz in our lives.
Go on, I dare you to listen all the way through this quirky, funny, witty and clever release. Another corker of a mix.

I just learned about Brazilian jazz-pop Steely Dan fanboy--okay, that's neither a fair description of his talents nor his stature in the Brazilian music scene--Ed Motta from Jake Malooley's Expanding Dan Substack (not sure how much of this post is available to non-subscribers):

His new album, Behind the Tea Chronicles, has a decent Atmos mix:

Listening now Humph...Great mix and music

Listening now Humph...Great mix and music

Agreed. I don't love his English-language lyrics & vocals, but that's nitpicking. I'd love to see the Portuguese version of his earlier album AOR get an Atmos mix!
