Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
Maybe we’re subject to a psychological need to grab whatever we can, having been subject to a mmulti-decade long drought of surround music.
I’m not buying <i>everything</i> out there, having purchased a handful of crap that won’t sound good no matter how many speakers it comes out of. While I appreciate the efforts that go into MCH releases, I’m buying for ME, and if I don’t care for the stereo version I can get on youtube, I’m not going to spend my finite budget on things that won’t give me joy. I’ve done that way too often.

Thought about it, but they are two different releases. We'll re-purpose the Quad album somehow.
Putting this out here:
I’d pay top dollar for a box set of the Grateful Dead mixes that have been coming out. Doubly so if more albums or a show (maybe Cornell 5/8/77… a man can dream!) were included.

I think I mentioned it earlier in the thread, @ForagingRhino, but I’m dying to own the existing, yet hard to find Atmos mix of Little Feat’s “Waiting For Columbus” on Blu-ray. I’m down on my knees!
Perhaps the best live album ever.
While you wait, here’s Phish’s live cover of the whole dang thing (yes a live cover of a live album… how meta)

Oh yes! Obsessive Phish fan here since 1992. What a great performance that was. And to keep on topic: Phish needs some surround releases!
Trey’s self titled has a pretty solid 5.1 mix on DVD-A, and their DVD releases have the standard, lackluster “concert film” 5.1 mix but I agree. I’m seeing them this month at Sphere which *has the capability to do surround*, will report back on if they take advantage of it
There are some titles where I see the release announcement and order immediately, then go back and read about what I ordered because I was so excited I couldn’t even get through the description before wanting to pre-order.
GD falls into that category for me.
Though as producer George Massenburg might tell you, like Frampton Comes Alive!... Waiting For Columbus is not totally a live album.
How about an analysis of Beggars/Matador/4AD/XL jumping into the lossless DL Atmos game? Queens of the Stone Age and Spoon already have 2 albums out with a commitment for future releases.
If they start putting out physical releases, I'm definitely interested. I'm not set up for streaming because I am not interested in paying more monthly fees for such services. Many artists on these labels that I would be excited to hear in surround sound/atmos for sure!
These are not streaming releases. You own the lossless album once you pay and download it. They are available in MP4 and MKV (you get both). You just need a USB to plug into your receiver/blu ray player. Immersive Audio is the website:

My Alanis and Hoodie Atmos discs arrived today!
WTF??? REally? That's freaky fast.
Fantastic! Thanks for providing those additional details Bill.
