I loved the production on this one, so I made an upmix. Would love to see a real surround version though.

oh yes, lots! they were just a mixture of personal taste and what i felt may have a chance!!Did you forget anyone ?
I threw on God Turn Me Into A Flower from the Weyes Blood album In The Darkness Hearts Aglow and was reminded that:
A. I love this album.
B. The Atmos mix is fantastic (but streaming only)
C. It is allegedly the middle part in a trilogy of albums, starting with Titanic Rising, and completed with whatever the next album is called.
Presumably that new album would get a mix. It would be fantastic if Titanic Rising got a mix as well, and all 3 packaged as a SDE release!

Piqued my interest, don’t believe I’m familiar with that one, got an Apple streaming link for us?
Like J. Pupster, I had to check this out due to my unfamiliarity with the artist. This is really good mellow stuff - like her style and voice. I like to rock out at times as much as the next person, but I've always really appreciated downtempo material like this also. I suspect this would be great headphones music to bliss out with in a darkened room. Yes, I just might have to purchase some of Natalie Mering's (aka Weyes Blood's) music - thanks for the post!
Wallenstein's Blitzkrieg, with proper discrete, multi-channel seperation...
...none of this Motorhead Deaf Forever / The Best of the Doors Atmos Blu-ray nonsense. Although to be fair I don't have Atmos, so if The Best of the Doors Atmos actually sounds like 3-Dimensional audio, and not just one third of the way to all channel stereo, I wouldn't know.
I mean, I get it: compare Mountain's quad Don't Look Around, or Nantucket's Sleighride to the stereo versions: huge difference...but you can enjoy both on their own merits.
It wouldn't surprise me if the The Best of the Doors Blu-ray was produced that way because, with discrete separation it didn't sound like enough of an improvement over the singles quad, but even so...the quad singles disc is still far superior, imo.
Also, always and forever: How to Destroy Angels (2010) self-titled EP.
Edit: lol...I just noticed my forum title "Well-known member". Feels a bit like damning with faint praise. X0) Not sure if that's automated, but if not, I have to admit it's probably apt. X0)

There's 3 albums I would love to see in SDE's Surround Series (if possible):
1) Supertramp - Even In The Quietest Moments
2) Steve Winwood - Arc Of A Diver
3) Kansas - Leftoverture

I'm not sure how known it is in the outside world beyond Australia, but Midnight Oil's '10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1' was - in my opinion - their best album, and also possibly Nick Launay's finest production work too (although Models' 'The Pleasure of Your Company' might have something to say about that. 
)
Anyway, done right it could sound absolutely amazing in surround.

All I have is the BD Armistice Day-Live at the Domain.

There's also this respectable cover she did of You're No Good:
It's an interesting album of modern artists covering 70s songs with a nice immersive mix by Steve Genewick but the Weyes Blood track is my favorite.
Unfortunately, in the U.S., only "Diesel and Dust" and it's follow up "Blue Sky Mine" are the only albums that got any traction in terms of radio play and sales. Yet another overlooked Australian band (much like Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes) that should have been much bigger. Thank goodness US sales and popularity (or lack there of) hasn't prevented the wonderful boxed sets including immersive mixes (DVD's & Blu-ray's) from the Tragically Hip being released.I'm not sure how known it is in the outside world beyond Australia, but Midnight Oil's '10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1' was - in my opinion - their best album, and also possibly Nick Launay's finest production work too (although Models' 'The Pleasure of Your Company' might have something to say about that.

This is an interesting way to point out with cultural differences, we don't expect the same thing, and most the time, I have never heard of most artists/ releases whished for here (starting with that page : I don't know of anyone, quoted on page 24).I'm not sure how known it is in the outside world beyond Australia, but Midnight Oil's '10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1' was - in my opinion - their best album, and also possibly Nick Launay's finest production work too (although Models' 'The Pleasure of Your Company' might have something to say about that.

For me, that would be 'Polnareff's', Oldfield's Amarok (but that will never happen) Police's 'ghost in the machine' and 'Synchronicity', Gamma 1, 2 and 3, Klaus Schulze up to X, TD's 'Phaedra' and 'Rubicon', any Bashung from 'Chatterton' or Bowie's 'Black Tie WHite Noise' and 1. Outside'.

Ah yeah, Tangerine Dream. Bring it!
BTW, on YouTube there is a smashing version of "Love On A Real Train" by State Azure.

I am surprised that there has never been a Vangelis album released in high rez let alone in Atmos. Seems to me that a title like "Opera Sausage" would tik all the boxes...
