Bruce has hit the sweet spot again with his mixing talents.

Agreed . Listened to this earlier and its a very good surround mix.

Totally agree. I have listened today in Tidal (stereo) and is really great

I’ve discovered that professional Bluray production is very expensive. Not even counting the manufacturing costs, I was quoted €1300 just to author the Bluray, then around €400 for the copy protection keys for a small run of 300.
The encoding software can be pricey too. I decided to author it myself and duplicate BD-R discs but if you wanted glass mastered discs, DVD will be much cheaper to author and manufacture.

God, Bluray authoring is complicated

Blu-ray is a "bag of hurt"

I just listened to the Atmos mix on Apple Music. I'm not familiar with the band, but I like the music and the mix. This album reminded me a bit of Anathema, another band I'd love to hear in Atmos.

well at least we have Anathema in 5.1

 

[Thonolan]

This sounds absolutely fantastic. Even on my extremely modest, non dedicated 5.1 system from my second house the mix is stunning. Can't wait to give a spin on my high end system at home in a couple of days!

As @alansanchez86 said, stellar production that elevates the good songwriting.

I'm a relative old-schooler here, familiar with everything required to losslessly rip from physical media. I like this band and would be interested to know if Apple's Atmos mix is a) something that can be downloaded (pretty sure "yes") b) actually lossless. I just want to support the best quality version that is on offer right now, and am curious if it is better than the DTS version offered on the DVD.

There's not a single Atmos mix on Apple Music (or on any streaming platform for that matter) that is lossless, as far as I know. I don't have a clue if they can be downloaded, either. They're not supposed to be downloadable.

To be honest, the 5.1 mix on the DVD is so good that I haven't even bothered to listen to the Atmos mix yet. You'll get a better bitrate on the DVD, compared to the streaming Atmos version, too. Also, it seems that not all songs are available in Atmos on Apple Music.

... Also, it seems that not all songs are available in Atmos on Apple Music.

In Tidal, the album is complete in Atmos. I think. I will check again.

I am not at all opposed to the DTS version, just want my dollars to go to the best archival version available right now.

I looked briefly at Tidal, but couldn't tell whether it was actually offering the Atmos version, and what knots I would need to contort myself into in order to download what i purchased. I'm not at all interested in a streaming-only option and would just pass altogether if that was the only choice. If you have access, can you tell me if lossless, DRM-free download is available on that platform?

Yes, it is offering the Atmos version. But only the stereo version is lossless.

Tidal is a streaming service. It does not sell downloads for archival.

Like all streaming services at the moment, Tidal Atmos tracks are lossy DD+

On Apple Music at least, I think the final track (may be a bonus track) is stereo only, and as such it’s not tagged as Atmos.

 

[hatchling]

Thanks all for the advice, I just ordered the DVD/DTS version!

 

[Thonolan]

It's weird because it's certainly not specified as a bonus track anywhere (it's also one of the best songs IMO), and comes in 5.1 as part of the physical release.

 

[perzon57]

I found the Atmos mix and it's quite good, but the music is nothing for me, so I gave up after 3-4 songs.

All tracks, including "14 - As We Disappear" are/were in Atmos in Tidal. I can confirm it with proof.

Last track "As We Dissapear" has actually dissapeared now from Tidal streaming ("not currently available"), although it remains listed in the Atmos album.

Lucky I was fast.

@sjcorne , do you think it would be possible to include this album in the catalogue of https://immersiveaudioalbum.com/ ? I think the band members manage their Instagram and are very approachable .
I already have the signed CD/DVD, but I would love to have the lossless Atmos too.
I hope these requests are not inappropriate!
