"I love the drama of the height speakers"--a man after our own hearts!
Also:
The other aspect of this is the demand for more product, and a lot of that is being done on-the-fly from stereo stems. I think that's to the overall detriment of the format, because if it's not that impressive-sounding you’ll see more people like Nigel Godrich complaining about it. He has a point, but can you imagine Radiohead in Atmos? I’d love to take a shot at that.
And:
The labels see it as such a niche market now, especially with immersive streaming being available. It's sad because I always want to have the highest-quality audio, but at the same time I can understand their thinking. It's definitely kind of a drag for audiophiles.

Amen! Another fabulous interview, Jonathan. (And, to be fair, a fabulous interviewee! We're all so glad you "have the time to really sit down and do it right,"
@ryan de topanga!) Maybe, after the exchange about beds and side speakers, you'll get an advisory credit on Ryan's next mix. . .
