Ernie Isley's daughter teams up with Terrace Martin. Nothing special, unfortunately--it ought to be better--but it's still decent chillout music.

nice and laid back, with a good Atmos mix, i thoughtErnie Isley's daughter teams up with Terrace Martin. Nothing special, unfortunately--it ought to be better--but it's still decent chillout music.
I was excited at the speculation ‘Who By Numbers’ may see an Atmos release. It’s my favourite ‘Who’ album after ‘Who’s Next’ and ‘Tommy’, although sometimes it may be favorite. Disappointed!!Well, Who By Numbers is the other album they were hinting at, but it will just be a vinyl reissue, coming in February.
Disappointed!!

Oh for f*ck's sake, AGAIN not on Tidal?! Hope it's coming.How about some more Billy Joel!!
It will likely show up on the 360RA format anyway (like the other albums).Oh for f*ck's sake, AGAIN not on Tidal?! Hope it's coming.
had a flick through earlier, a great side effect was the nice reminder how good an album it is.. sadly wasn't knocked out by what i was hearing from a Surround pov..How about some more Billy Joel!!
if it does, can you find out who mixed it in Atmos, please?It will likely show up on the 360RA format anyway (like the other albums).

felt too front-focussed for my tastes, with muted vocal refrains, some ambience, snatches of lower level horns (etc) popping up in the Rears/places other than upfront.. but ultimately too much was emanating from the Front, making the whole thing feel kinda flat
do we know who mixed this?
thinking maybe the same person who did the Atmos of "The Nylon Curtain"?
whoever it is, sorry i can't sugarcoat it, the effort's no comparison to the 5.1 SACDs of "52nd Street" & "The Stranger", nor the 3 old Quads; "Piano Man", "Streetlife Serenade" & "Turnstiles" (even though the Quads are far from perfect they're far superior in the Surround-y stakes to this!)
I think dynamic compression contributed to the 'flat' sound as well - I kept noticing a 'pinched' quality to the choruses in the title track, and other louder bits throughout the album.felt too front-focussed for my tastes, with muted vocal refrains, some ambience, snatches of lower level horns (etc) popping up in the Rears/places other than upfront.. but ultimately too much was emanating from the Front, making the whole thing feel kinda flat
i guess "The Longest Time" was some sort of highlight, although there's not a great deal going on in the track at least some vocal bits were spread about a bit, although most of the time it was was all just subpar Surround.I think dynamic compression contributed to the 'flat' sound as well - I kept noticing a 'pinched' quality to the choruses in the title track, and other louder bits throughout the album.
"The Longest Time" sounds pretty nice though (not that it takes a rocket scientist to make an interesting surround mix of that song...)
Totally agree, it's bland from an immersive mix POV. The 5.1 SACD's are way superior. I need to track down those quads at a reasonable $had a flick through earlier, a great side effect was the nice reminder how good an album it is.. sadly wasn't knocked out by what i was hearing from a Surround pov..

Has no LFE channel -according to my subs not turning on- which doesn’t help.Totally agree, it's bland from an immersive mix POV. The 5.1 SACD's are way superior. I need to track down those quads at a reasonable $
