(fwiw the Metronomy EP’s got some inventive & unusual use of Atmos and the Yukimi track is similarly boomtastic

last wee batch of my chosen tracks to share with you fine folk for now

the upcoming IDER album's one to watch, i reckon

hope you all have a fabulous weekend in as many channels of immersive audio as you have to hand

edit: added the brand new Immanuel Wilkins LP, it's a Blue Note Atmos release so.. well.. ..umm.. don't expect a Surround extravaganza, m'kayyyy

 

[fredblue]

curiously only the first track from Ashnikko's Halloweenie EP is in Atmos..

(p.s. out of this bunch i find the HAEVN album particularly gorgeous... short but very sweet )

Enjoying the recommendations Adam . Helps to zero in on using my listening time for the best releases within the flood.

Delightful cover of one of my favorite 90’s tunes ‘ Fade into You ‘ performed by Aussie band Royal Otis.

Particularly love when the bass kicks in and the mournful sounding brass ( trumpet?).

First Atmos release for iconic Aussie rockers The Cruel Sea. No Atmos fireworks but catchy tune:

 

[popshop]

Unique mix with drums and bass in front and guitars in the sides, not front. Plenty of vocals in sides too. Four piece indie rock with guys from blah blah.

I went looking for the new Rufus Du Sol album on Tidal, but it's not there yet in any form. But I'm enjoying their Surrender and Solace (Live from Joshua Tree) albums, Especially that last one.

Also William Orbit's very classy The Painter. I'm looking forward to listening to others of his I've spotted in Atmos.

And of course, Empire of the Sun's new one, Ask that God. How great is that.

Hi…
A question:
Is it a hardware or software problem that a dac, dap, or mobile cannot handle dolby atmos?
For example, no dap (shanling, ibasso, fiio...) supports dolby atmos when most streaming platforms (Tidal, Apple, Amazon...) already stream in atmos.
In my case I have a Shanling M6 Ultra dap and it is incompatible with Atmos, I have to listen to Atmos on an iPhone 13.
I suppose that if atmos continues to prevail, those daps will have to accept the situation and will end up playing atmos, either in files or stteaming, is this correct?

there are actually dacs that are atmos compatibile, i use for my android smartphone the cheap and small ifi go link portable dac and works fine with atmos material. i guess it's the same for fiio ka11 portable dac which i will order soon.
correct me if i'm wrong, but to my knowledge all the components in the audio chain have to be atmos compatible, and it's both a hardware and software problem.
years ago i used to have the lg smartphone g7 with internal quad dac that was dts x compatible but not dolby atmos compatible, they bet on the wrong immersive format.

Waterloo and Gimme, Gimme, Gimme atmos mixes on Apple Music bode well for the rest of ABBA Gold, which is allegedly coming before end of this year.
My hope is they do the whole catalogue.

These are new, however, so far I’m getting upmix feelings on first listening. Everything is coming from all my speakers, certainly from Whiplash Smile.

Tidal credits Paul Hicks for mixing both albums.
