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

Saw this as a YT video first, but seems some of it is in Atmos, although didn't hear anything from the Center on the tune ft.
Nile Rodgers (Lights Out). It did have a lot happening in the rears.

Find Your Flame (Deluxe Edition)
Nubiyan Twist

You know, now that I look at that title's artwork, my foggy mind seems to remember seeing it here on this thread before (this thread gets long quick -thanks @fredblue .) I believe it came out earlier this year. But without adding text to your posts, it won't show up in a search IINM. However, yes I've listened to it personally now!

I'll add that the songs from Boys and Girls ("Slave To Love", "Don't Stop The Dance", and "Windswept") generally seem a bit less harsh to me than the old SACD 5.1 mixes - which weren't bad-sounding by any means, but not as smooth as Avalon. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album done this way, the lesser-known tracks like "Valentine" and "Stone Woman" should sound great in Atmos.

It might be just me but many of the tracks (incl Let's Stick Together, which sounds great on my SACD rip) sound quite thin and unremarkable on this Atmos mix. I realize it's streaming, of course, but that never stopped many of my faves from being dynamic, smooth, weighty and punchy. Especially the many fave electronic Atmos mixes, a genre that easily leads the way in both immersive mix creativity and overall dynamics on Apple Music...IMHO. For example, my rip of Casanova (from Lets Stick Togther lp) has a lot more lower end foundation than the Atmos mix here, although not nearly the worst offender. Anyway....love everything BF and Roxy, but love it a little less than was hoping.

Another album from TamiX

I added to my playlist of Modular Synthesizers in Space

This Billy Joel Storm Front mix is a disaster because the vocals are consistently mixed either too loud in the surrounds (the lead, not a harmony) or have weird echoing that isn't present in the stereo mix like Alexa. No centre channel activity whatsoever. I really dislike that trend.

Likely they get a stereo vocal from the stems, and cannot fold it back to mono to place on the centre channel, so they have to use a centre ghost...

And that would be fine - but why add reverb and delay through the surrounds and why put the lead there at all - it never works
