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

[Progfiend]

I really don't know. I stumbled across them one evening. I am hoping Rhino issues them as stand alone Blu Rays or Paul at SDE. I'm sure they would sell quite well.

They don’t seem to be available in Canada

I don't have an Atmos setup so I have only listened to The Nylon Curtain in 5.1. The first song ("Allentown") has almost nothing happening in the surround field. Things get better as the album goes on. The last four songs being particularly good.

A/B'd with the 5.1 from the music video DVD released in 2001, the Atmos is much less adventurous with the surround channels.

Jethro Tull Christmas Album in Atmos is on Apple was mentioned but nobody cared to post the link. It’s my favorite Christmas album, so there

Do any other Apple Music users find the Atmos mix on this album strange? At least on my 5.1.2 system, it seems the height speakers are being used as the main channels, including for the vocals and flute parts. Hardly anything out of the center channel. Also, the surround speakers are being used at least as much as the front mains. Seems like the channels got mixed up somehow. Certainly very different than how other Atmos mixes are rendered. (All other Atmos mixes I’ve listened to today sound normal.)

I've just finished listening to this, and to me it sounds fine on my 7.4.4 setup. A very good mix in my opinion.

You have to dig for it but there is a 35th edition of Motley Crüe Dr Feelgood, need to select a track from the popular playlist than select “go to album”. Haven’t had a chance to listen yet, is there a difference?
Link to both versions.

The mixes are the same.

And they’re garbage. I’m a huge Crue fan and I’m so pissed that their albums are all a lazy mix.

Big fan here too - those mixes are uninspired, to say the least.

[PurpleMoustache]

Well this is an odd one… selections from the World of Warcraft soundtracks (I’ve never played so I don’t know if these are fan favorites or not)

 

[perzon57]

Steven Wilson- December Skies Atmos. Nice song and nice mix.
