Simply random stuff

This thread is not "random" enough anymore, it's become a reminiscence of past shopping experiences and locations. In an effort to get back on topic here is a photo of Gnome Chomsky:

Which randomly made me think of Giorgio Gomelsky who produced Gong's 1973 album "Angel's Egg"

I was randomly wondering if pine trees hate my house, and if my big poplar secretly hated my shop and used the hurricane as an excuse to launch herself upon it.

Oddly, I suddenly have the urge to listen to this....

Guess this as good of a place as any, to ask a burning question I have......
Since I only have a 70's, 4 channel surround system. What am I missing with playing Atmos or even a 5.1 tracks? Or are the additional tracks blended into 4 with my Sansui? Am I wasting $$ buying bluray audio? Listening to my Rhino Chicago bluray now, and it sounds excellent, but I just keep wondering...

Iam like RIP Van Winkle, as I've missed the last 45yrs of surround music improvements and everything is confusing as......well you know

Thanks for the replies, but I should have been clearer with my question.
I have a refurbished Sansui 9001 being fed by an Oppo 105. Iam stuck with 4 channels.
So buying Dolby Atmos, 5.1 bluray discs, etc, am I missing music or is it just blended into my 4 channels? Iam sure 8, 9, or 10+ channels is awesome, but Iam happy with what I got with no plans for upgrading
Sitting on the sofa looking/listening at that Sansui takes me back to when I first bought it in the 70's
Sweet musical memories

I’m not sure if the Oppo will fold 5.0 into 4.0, but I think it will. It will play Atmos files as though theynhad no object metadata, because it doesn’t read that metadata.

I have a 105, and it’s important to be sure it’s set up to only output the channels you can play.

Thank you for the answer I can understand
I will check the Oppos settings when I get home

I wish more video game soundtracks (actually, soundtracks in general) took the economical Blu-ray route instead of spreading things across a million CDs. It's a shame that Square Enix is the only company that tries.

Took my wife to school this morning, and this caught my eye . . . Happy Halloween!

Take a look at this Halloween display in my town. The people have about 250 ft of frontage totally devoted to Halloween decorations. Look at how big some of them are...All of the big dudes are about 14 ft tall. The wolf man in the right of the fourth photo lost his arm.
