continuing in a Jazz theme but with a quite different vibe, is the fabulous new album "Inwards" from the French Jazz/Broken Beats/House trio based in London, Emile Londonien

while i find this wally's brand of humour about as funny as toothache i gave it a go for Atmos giggles and it was fun for five minutes having a Surround-y audience

Bo Burnham has comedy in Atmos that is good. Not standup however.

no Atmos pyrotechnics just beautifully stirring Crossover renditions of Beethoven Classics in the form of new LP "Beethoven Blues" from Jon Batiste

strikingly gorgeous body of work from one of Mexico's foremost composers of their time,
"Revolución diamantina" by Gabriela Ortiz, Gustavo Dudamel conducts Maira Duenes with the Los Angeles Philharmonic

a few Dance-y Poppy Surround-y things i've been enjoying lately (handy for making sure all your speakers are hooked up as well! )

 

[ted_b]

wow this and Surf's Up sound truly dreadful! not only are things all over the place with Sides at times louder than the Fronts but there's so much bass it feels like my windows will blow out! do we know who mixed these?

It's sooo disappointing, and always is. This album (one of my two fave Beach Boys albums, the other Holland). They can never get this album, or any version of the songs on it, right!? WTF.

 

[fredblue]

..and to wrap up my sharing smorgasbord for now some Soul, Dance, Pop and Electronica all in solid ))))Surround Sound((((

(if you like the new Zach Hood album, there's more of their music out there in streaming Atmos in the form of a number of singles from the last few years )

Much like The Beatles IMO need to allow someone other than Giles Martin a chance to create spatial mixes, the same is true with The Beach Boys and Mark Linnett. Ironically Giles did a nice job with Pet Sounds, so I wonder why he didn’t get a crack at the rest of the catalog.

Giles Martin

I doubt he did these other ones. Just Pet Sounds.

Haha, I guess opinions are like a-holes (we have one and they all stink) but James Acaster is one of my absolute favourite UK comedians - his four-part special on Netflix from a few years back is one of the most ambitious standup specials I've ever seen. It's funny, I was actually talking about him with another friend of mine recently and we both agreed that while he's got a long way to go in terms of longevity, he's on a trajectory to be a 'protect his brain at all costs' national treasure with some of our other favourites including Bob Mortimer, Sean Lock, Bill Bailey and Kevin Bridges.

It appears this album is the audio from his upcoming special on HBO:

he's got a long way to go indeed and i'm sure he'd agree he's nowhere ready to even kiss the a-holes of the likes of legends Bob Mortimer, Sean Lock (RIP ) or Bill Bailey!

This music is right up my street Adam
And a very good mix too

Wonder if the Spanish version has been mixed differently? Not holding my breath, but I'll check it out soon (being Spanish myself, I'm also curious about her performance there).

St. Vincent - Todos Nacen Gritando

Well, the answer is... no. Unfortunately, the mix sounds basically the same as in All Born Screaming, so I won't repeat what I wrote on the previous page.

Some comments about the musical content, though. Listening to these songs I've heard so many times in English, now sung in my native tongue instead, feels super weird , but, having heard Annie speak some Spanish when she visited my country last month (I loved her for trying, but she's very far from being fluent), I have to say I'm very impressed with her job here. Many takes were needed, I suppose, but I think she can be proud of the result.

That being said, her Spanish has some hint of a... Mexican? (sounds like that to me) accent that gives her a slight 'latin singer' flavor, which in my opinion sounds a bit out of place for her music. Plus, anyway, I generally don't like rock music sung in Spanish - I think my language can sound great for some other music, but definitely not for rock (there are a few exceptions, though). So I don't think I'll be listening to Todos Nacen Gritando way too often.

I've heard that her previous album Daddy's Home has a superb Atmos mix, which I haven't heard yet.

Yes, it is a much better mix than ABS. I had high hopes mix wise and was left disappointed. I will still listen because she is so great but I can't imagine what happened if the new album had the same person at the mix controls.

Mert Ozcan did the Daddy's Home mix (he's behind a number of other really good Atmos titles including Rhye's Home and several Sigur Ros albums). I'm guessing he didn't work on All Born Screaming.
