This album has a great mix and phenomenal bass extension - when it came out 20 years ago I was deep in my "I only listen to '70s music" phase, but I was similarly moved to pick it up after QQ legend Cai Campbell (a man of discriminating surround tastes to be sure) mentioned it being particularly good, and I wasn't disappointed.

For some reason, i can't get Seal out of my mind, so i'm spinning his second eponymous release in 7.1

Stunning Sony quad mix of this - completely obliterates the Audio Fidelity SACD. It's an astonishing album - takes quite a long time to grow for the uninitiated, but this wonderful SACD has been on constant rotation for a month now. Very quick and painless shipping from CDJapan:

Isn't the mix the same on this and the Audio Fidelity SACD? I have that but I have never liked it.

One of the best atmos mixes out there

As others have pointed out on the dedicated thread, the sound is much crisper and more detailed:

Had a friend over for dinner beer n tunes.
Thai chicken was good, beer list posted in that thread and we spun the following, not in this order:
Simple Minds New Gold Dream. Promised You A Miracle in ATMOS

The Flamimg Lips Yoshimi ... first 2 track in ATMOS

Larisa Stow Moment By Moment first 2 in 5.1

The Who Who's Next 3 tracks in ATMOS

Devin Townsend Empath first 3 in 5.1

Devin Townsend Order of Magnitude Spirits and Disco Inferno in 5.1

Porcupine Tree Fear Of A Blank Planet Anesthetize 2024 5.1 mix

Dream Theater Parasomnia first 3 in 5.1. Dug the music but my boys need to bring in someone not afraid to use more than the front 3.1.

Steven Wilson To The Bone first 3 in 5.1

Elton John Diamonds 6 tracks in ATMOS which made my non-EJ fan friend call it a reference Mix.

From the DVD- INXS I'M ONLY LOOKING * THE BEST OF (Disc 1)
*opening Synth on "Don't Change" does some nice swirling around (actually has a little Center channel in this one!)

New Arrivals! Simple Minds

I am sure not to many people have this. I have many pleasurable moments in Hawaii. Plus I can get deep into anxiety.
I purchased this MP4 Atmos from IAA DOWNLOA ALOHA RADIO HAWAII
Not a Atmos bombshell, but at this moment I can't think of anything I'd rather listen to.
Very calming and reordered excellent.
