Huh! Wonder if this is a new mix or if those compilations they’ve done AI up mixes had enough to round this out.

Edit: to my untrained ears it sounds slightly more discrete than your typical AI upmix, but also not especially great overall

I noticed the other day that while ‘Holland’ shows as Atmos when you search it, California Saga is not. It is Lossless or HR. It was Atmos before. I also note most of my saved Atmos Beach Boys albums prior to ‘Pet Sounds’ have disappeared. What a mess!

In the meantime I’ve accidentally deleted all my historic Beach Boys tracks in my library trying to check. Will have to start again.

Hopefully they are going to fix and repost them all.

I note that the early albums from ‘Surfing USA’ to ‘All Summer Long’ are in Atmos on Tidal but I can’t find any of these on Apple Music anymore. The in-between albums up to ‘Pet Sounds’ are missing on both.

I note all The Beach Boys Immersive mixes, with ‘The Sounds Of Summer’ are credited on Tidal to Mark Linnet, The Beach Boys long time remixer, with the exception of the excellent ‘Pet Sounds’ which is credited to Giles Martin. This includes the early albums plus ‘Sunflower’ and ‘Surf’s Up’ which appeared today. I can’t find ‘Holland’ or anything from it on Tidal— whoops...found them under Sail On Sailor 1972. I don’t think Mark Linnet does AI mixes. He did do the 1997 Box Set ‘Pet Sounds’ with the first proper stereo mix and the Circa 2001 ‘Pet Sounds’ DVD-Audio 5.1.

'Sunflower' and 'Surf's Up' do sound a bit weird to me.

Thats what I get for replacing an Amp in one of my setups that I can see the Atmos display. Something I can’t see on the others.
