I’ve heard a lot of talk regarding Camel here on this Forum. I’ve never heard this band. Maybe, I should check them out.

If you like chilled prog rock with tons of emotion in the guitars and keyboards you will love them

Now that I have spent the time pretty deep into this box set, when I listen I hear the same sound as Emerson Lake & Palmer.
I would say are the closest in sound.
Yes, I never heard of Camel before QQ either, maybe 10 years ago?
I do have two stereo SACD’s that I bought prior.

Closet in sound? Meaning, I’ll barely be able to tell the two bands apart, other than the vocals?

Looking at some reviews of Apple Music Atmos mixes to see if there's anything woth listening to. This was the lede for one of the reviews.
"Unfortunately, I don't have the "top tier proper equipment" (i.e. another $500 set of headphones or an actual 5.1 speaker setup) for listening in Dolby Atmos but I do have a pair of AirPods Pro 2 that work great in hearing the differences and the nuances in the mix."
Yeah

The fabulous Monkey House- Friday album via IAA. Amazing sitting on the stage with band surrounding presence. Great fidelity even when cranked in volume. Highly recommended.

For something completely different, I picked up this Atmos pure audio blu ray:
Konstantin Reymaier ~ The New Organ at St Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna

It's been streaming on Apple Music for some time, but is available in a beautiful Deutsche Grammaphone digipak for under $16.
5.1 mix included.

Program starts with Bach & ends with John Williams Star Wars.
A showcase for the power & dynamics of these ancient instruments, in a massive reverberant space.

If there's a pipe organ recording better than this one, I'd like to know about it.

I just bought tickets for Cirque du Soleil: The Beatles LOVE in Las Vegas.
DEC 15th, I have saw this show before, around 2016 or so. Will be in Vegas for U2 on the 16th so why not.
It is the best Vegas show I have ever seen, so far.
Listening now to LOVE 5.1 released 11/17/2006.
DVD rip, FLAC 24bit/96Khz. DR's are 8, 9's, 10's, 11's, 12's.
Although it is a special recording for the sound track of the Cirque du Soleil show it is quite a fantastic recording, I have not listened to it in years, really fun recording with all the mish/mash of songs.

The remixing of the LOVE album was far more complicated than one could imagine by the track to track description supplied by WIKIPEDIA:

• "Because" – According to an interview with the Martins in Entertainment Weekly, the opening track includes the bird sounds used in the World Wildlife Fund version of "Across the Universe", as well as "Free as a Bird".[18] In addition, a new recording of a wood pigeonwas implemented "to make it more British", according to George Martin.[18]
• "Get Back" – The track uses the opening guitar chord from "A Hard Day's Night", the drum and guitar solos from "The End", percussion from "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)", and the orchestral swell from "A Day in the Life".[19][20]
• "Glass Onion" – This track includes guitar from "Things We Said Today".[21]
• "I Want to Hold Your Hand" – George and Giles Martin stated that elements from both the studio recording and the Hollywood Bowl live performance were used in the 5.1 surround sound mix.[18]
• "Drive My Car/The Word/What You're Doing" – The medley features the guitar solo from "Taxman" and the horn section from "Savoy Truffle".[22][23][24]The Martins said they also remixed keyboards from "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and backing vocals from "Helter Skelter" into the track.[25]
• "Gnik Nus" – The track contains the vocal arrangement of "Sun King" played in reverse[23] and accompanied by tambura drone.[26]
• "Something" (with "Blue Jay Way" transition) – The track emphasises the lead vocal[21] and George Martin's string arrangement on "Something" before transitioning into "Blue Jay Way", which also includes elements from "Nowhere Man".[27] Giles Martin said the portion from "Blue Jay Way" set the mood for the next track, which they created in response to an idea by the director of the Love show for a "macabre Victorian circus".[21]
• "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!/I Want You (She's So Heavy)/Helter Skelter" – The track contains the whole of "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!", guitars from "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", and heavily delayed vocals from "Helter Skelter". It also includes horse sounds from "Good Morning, Good Morning", harmonium and other elements from "Cry Baby Cry" and laughter from "Piggies".[28]
• "Strawberry Fields Forever" – This version builds from an acoustic demo[29] to incorporate sections of take 1 of the song (including harmony vocals that were cut from the edit of take 1 issued on the 1996 Anthology 2 compilation) and take 26.[30] At the end of the track, it includes the orchestral section from "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", the piano solo from "In My Life", the brass included in "Penny Lane", the cello and harpsichord from "Piggies", and the coda of "Hello, Goodbye".[23] According to author John Winn, part of "I'm Only Sleeping" also appears in the closing mashup.[31]
• "Within You Without You/Tomorrow Never Knows" – This track combines the vocals and the dilruba from "Within You Without You" with the bass and drums from "Tomorrow Never Knows".[20]
• "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" – The track includes horns and guitars from "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", clavioline from "Baby, You're a Rich Man", and sound effects from "Tomorrow Never Knows".[32]
• "Octopus's Garden" – This track contains the string arrangement from "Good Night", sound effects and vocal elements from "Yellow Submarine", and elements from "Lovely Rita", "Helter Skelter" and ends with the beginning guitar riff from "Sun King".[20][23]
• "Lady Madonna" – The song includes the percussion intro from "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?", the piano from "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da", the guitar riff from "Hey Bulldog", Billy Preston's organ solo from "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and Eric Clapton's guitar solo from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".[33]
• "Here Comes the Sun" (with "The Inner Light" transition) – As mentioned by Giles Martin, the track includes tabla and dilruba from "Within You Without You",[21] backing vocals from "Oh! Darling" and a bass line from "I Want You (She's So Heavy)".[34]
• "Come Together/Dear Prudence" (with "Cry Baby Cry" transition) – The track contains nearly all of "Come Together", which transitions into "Dear Prudence". It concludes with the vocal part from the end of "Cry Baby Cry", strings from "Eleanor Rigby", and what Giles Martin referred to as the "climax" from "A Day in the Life".[21]
• "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" – The track uses a George Harrison demo of the song, previously issued on the Anthology 3 compilation.[21][29]George Martin wrote a new orchestral score for the track, which he described as being his final Beatles string arrangement.[21][35]
• "All You Need Is Love" – The track includes elements from "Baby You're a Rich Man" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band",[36] and ends with orchestration from "Good Night" and the sign-off from The Beatles Third Christmas Record.[21]
