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

[fredblue]

delightful new 2025 Orchestral rendition of Norwegian Art Popstar AURORA's 2016 track "Runaway"

their original recording is also streaming in Atmos

 

[fredblue]

"Could You Love Me (Like You Love Yourself)?" bittersweet melodic Pop from Canadian singer and multi-instrumentalist elijah woods with some nice immersive vocal refrains going on a-hither-and-a-thither

they've a number of other singles plus their 2023 album "What If It Was Great" also in Atmos, several of which i've spouted on about here in days gone by

 

[fredblue]

"Flyover State", the new single from Cincinnati singer/songwriter and modern Americana practitioner Michael Marcagi who specialises in shout-along choruses, backed by vigorously strummed acoustic guitars

similarly, they have other tracks streaming in Atmos from 2023 and 2024, if this floats your boat

 

[fredblue]

"Above Us", new trippy Surround-y Poppy track from Luke Titus (i couldn't get into the A-side/lead single "All My Life" as much but it's also there in Atmos anyway)

 

[fredblue]

"Commitment", the smooth new Duet from UK Popster Craig David & Nigerian "Queen Of The Afrobeats" Tiwa Savage

Tiwa Savage has other tracks in Atmos i've posted here about enjoying before but worth mentioning again i reckon as they're yummily immersively delectably groovy

This seems new as of today (in the Netherlands). Might generate some traffic!

Wow, this mix is fantastic!

A lot of new interesting titles today. And @fredblue is back with his lovely weekend newsletter.

Just a reminder for those of you who are fans of English alternative rock: The Doves new album "Constellations For The Lonely" is completed as of today. I like what I've heard so far. Nice and immersive too.

I love this album. Please let it be good.

I, too, love this album (Sinead's Lion & The Cobra) very much. I'm spot-checking it now on my 5.1 system. At first, it sounded like double stereo, maybe because vocals are prominent in both the fronts and rears, but as it goes on, I am hearing some discrete elements. Not a great mix, from what I've heard so far, but I'm enjoying it as it plays. That may be mostly a reflection of how good the music is.

I imagine on an Atmos system, the vocals I hear in the rears may be more on the sides. That's how some Atmos mixes resolve on my (very old) system, with a non-Atmos-capable receiver.

Suede - Autofiction
Don't know why or how, but the Atmos mix of their latest (2022) album is back online again.

I know this record came out last week. I’ve been enjoying it so much. The way Atmos is used throughout is so inventive and creative. This is a demo worthy record that I can’t recommend enough.

"On Being", the new album from Belfast Electronic artist Max Cooper, with an interesting concept, upto their usual standards with a solid Surround presentation.

in 2022, Cooper posed a question to his fans: “What do you want to express that you can’t in everyday life?”

Cooper left the prompt on his website for six months and, when he returned, he was astounded by the responses.

“It was a huge collection of beautiful, funny, scary and sad stories—the whole range of human emotion,” Cooper told Apple Music. “I knew I had to create my next album from it.”

Listening to “Peace Exists Here”. This is demo-quality Atmos.

Her 19 Masters is still top 5 in my Atmos mixing list. I emailed the label numerous times asking for a download option. I can’t wait to put this on. Thanks

Just seeing this one from January. It's not really March, right?

Great group. Pretty sure the official release date was yesterday.

Well, I had a quite different experience with this mix...
I think it's an 8 out of 10 mix, for me.

Lots of discrete instruments and vocals in the surrounds. The choices for what goes in the height channels are spot on. As always, I would love some more fidelity, but that's not the fault of the mix.

Standout track: "I want your (Hands on me)". I would be proud to put in in my rock demo playlist.

Glad to hear it sounds better on an Atmos system. For me, with 5.1, some Atmos mixes render really nicely, some not so much. But I'll be listening to this one a lot, despite the limitations my old system imposes.

 

[The Bright Side]

The 2003 album is in Atmos as well.

Mind you, I'm listening in 5.1, but... These are pretty much stereo with some flavouring, eh? I mean, Starfish summarized:

Intro - Surroundy! Yay!
Pretty much stereo
Pretty much stereo
Pretty much stereo
...
Pretty much stereo
Pretty much stereo
Outro - Surroundy!

More from the world of Jam Bands

(Could have seen this exact bill: Lettuce with The Colorado Symphony last night, but I had an early morning meeting. Oh well)

Smaller jam band Perpetual Groove celebrates 20 years of their debut LP with a pretty darn good Atmos mix

And the second single from the new Goose album, which according the the credits has their original drummer on it (Much like Spinal Tap… Goose cannot keep a drummer for long, seemingly)

Oklou - choke enough
She's French, but her debut album is sung in English entirely. It's pop, it's electronic, it's Celtic-tinted, everything all at once and fresh.
Very, very good mix, most likely by Nathan Boddy (also responsible for Nilüfer Yanya's latest opus).
Overall, highly satisfying evening listen here, while imagining drafting her for some updated Mike Oldfield smash-hit.To France? Oui, s'il te plaît.
